Le’Veon Moss might be one of the most physically gifted and naturally explosive runners in the 2026 draft's Class of 2026.

Will the Jacksonville Jaguars be looking for a big, bruising running back in this year's draft?

The Jags are set to make their first selection in the draft in Round 2, with the No. 56 overall pick. The team owns 11 total picks this year, including four in the top 100.

Jaguars Roundtable will take a closer look at a range of prospects in the Class of 2026 that could jell with Jacksonville's current roster, coaching staff, and the team's X's and O's strategies. Other entries in the series include profiles of Oklahoma linebacker Kendal Daniels and cornerback D'Angelo Ponds out of Indiana as well as Cincinnati nose tackle Dontay Corleone and Oregon linebacker Bryce Boettcher. 

On the other side of the ball, we've featured offensive linemen, including Oregon tackle Isaiah World and Penn State's Drew Shelton as well as Arkansas running back Mike Washington Jr. and USC receiver Ja'Kobi Lane, and most recently scouting combine sweetheart tight end Eli Stowers out of Vanderbilt.

Here we turn our spotlight on Aggies running back Le'Veon Moss.

At 5-foot-11 and 215 pounds, Moss is a tailback with NFL‑ready power, burst, and contact balance. After arriving at Texas A&M as a blue‑chip recruit, Moss developed into the Aggies’ most dynamic offensive weapon, showcasing a blend of downhill violence and open‑field acceleration that makes him a legitimate three‑down NFL prospect.

A former four‑star recruit out of Louisiana, Moss chose Texas A&M over Alabama, LSU, and Georgia, bringing SEC‑caliber size and athleticism from Day 1. His early years in College Station were spent in a deep rotation, but flashes of his upside were unmistakable -- violent cuts, explosive acceleration, and the ability to turn small creases into chunk gains.

As the Aggies transitioned through coaching changes and offensive identity shifts, Moss became the stabilizing force in the backfield. By his junior and senior seasons, he had emerged as the featured runner, carrying the offense with his blend of physicality and efficiency. His production climbed each year, and his tape showed a back who matured in patience, vision, and situational awareness.

Moss’ final season was his most complete, demonstrating the consistency and reliability NFL evaluators wanted to see. He handled a heavy workload, produced against top SEC defenses, and proved he could be the focal point of a run‑first attack.

Moss looks like a pro back — thick through the hips, sturdy through contact, and built to withstand volume. His acceleration and play strength stand out immediately on film.

Moss’ game is built on explosiveness and violence. He hits the line of scrimmage with urgency, running behind his pads and generating force on contact. His ability to break arm tackles and stay upright through collisions makes him one of the toughest runners in the class to bring down cleanly.

His vision has improved significantly. Moss presses the line with patience, allowing blocks to develop before exploding through the crease. He’s particularly effective in zone schemes, where his one‑cut burst turns hesitation into daylight.

In the open field, Moss shows surprising wiggle for his size. He’s not a pure make‑you‑miss runner, but he has enough lateral quickness to slip defenders and enough acceleration to turn second‑level runs into explosive plays.

As a receiver, Moss is functional and improving. He catches the ball cleanly on swings, screens, and check‑downs, and he transitions smoothly into a runner. His pass protection is a strength -- he squares up blitzers, anchors well, and shows the awareness to identify pressure.

Moss lacks elite long‑speed. He can rip off chunk gains but won’t consistently outrun NFL safeties. His route running is still developing, and he hasn’t shown the dynamic receiving upside of some modern third‑down specialists. At times, he can be overly aggressive, hitting holes too quickly and missing backside opportunities.

Moss projects as a starting‑caliber NFL running back with three‑down potential depending on scheme. His power, burst, and balance give him a high floor, and his pass protection ensures he can stay on the field in critical situations. He fits best in zone‑based or downhill rushing attacks that value decisive runners with finishing power.

NFL Comparison: A blend of Dameon Pierce and Rachaad White -- explosive, physical, and built for volume.

Projected Draft Range: Round 3 to Round 4, with a chance to rise into Round 2 if he tests well and shows expanded receiving versatility.
