The Denver Broncos drafted cornerback Riley Moss with the 83rd pick in the third round of the 2023 NFL draft last week.
Moss played his collegiate ball at Iowa. As a redshirt senior, Moss concluded his college career with a stellar campaign, totaling 46 tackles, 11 passes defended, two forced fumbles and one interception. Moss and his experience may translate to the third-round pick getting on the field as a rookie.
Some draft pundits predicted Moss might transition to safety in the NFL, but the Broncos plan to use him primarily as a cornerback. He will likely contribute on special teams and rotate in on defense in 2023.
