Iowa Hawkeyes’ Riley Moss puts the NFL on notice with a stellar NFL Combine
The Iowa Hawkeyes just keep on bringing it one after another at the NFL Combine. This time it was Iowa Hawkeyes cornerback Riley Moss showing up and showing out for all of the NFL eyes to see. There were questions if he could play cornerback at the next level and he put all of those to bed.
The cornerback performed outstanding throughout his career at Iowa, yet questions persisted if he was capable of playing cornerback at the next level with his speed and agility. Those questions can be crossed off the list. Moss put the NFL on notice with his performance.
His performance increased his draft stock today and should find himself climbing up draft boards across the league. He made some noise and had a great time while doing so. Here is a look at Riley Moss’ NFL Combine performance, including his test results and some thoughts from around the league.
