2026 NFL Prospect Profile: Texas A&M’s Running Back Le’Veon Moss

Le'Veon Moss attended Istrouma High School in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. During his high school career, he had 1,754 rushing yards with 23 touchdowns. Moss was selected to play in the 2022 Under Armour All-American when he originally committed to play football at the University of Alabama before switching to Texas A&M University. 

In his true freshman year at Texas A&M in 2022, Moss played seven games and had 27 carries for 114 yards and a touchdown. As a sophomore, Moss played in nine games with one start and rushed for 484 yards on 96 carries and five touchdowns. Moss was injured during his junior season, so he decided to stay and prove to NFL scouts that he’s fully recovered and entered the 2025 season as A&M’s cowbell back. 

Strengths

• Strength
• Burst
• Vision
• Tackle Breaking
• Short Yardage Burst

Le'Veon Moss has an exceptional burst off the snap and gets through the hole quickly. He is an aggressive and hard runner who cannot be arm tackled, running with a low base. He bounces off tacklers while keeping his vision downfield. 

Moss is effective as a short-yardage runner and does a good job of lowering his head and picking up the difficult yards. He changes speeds well and has the patience to let running lanes open. Moss is a burner with legitimate track speed and, behind A&M’s experienced offensive line, will flash for scouts. 

Weaknesses

• Pass Catching
• Stiff Mechanics

Moss is a north-south runner who has his struggles with agility and lateral movement. He has stiff mechanics and is not a pure cutter that can make defenders miss. When Moss accelerates, he has trouble keeping his feet centered under his body and loses a lot of his power and balance. He has not been used much as a receiver out of the backfield, so teams would like to see what Moss can do catching passes and running routes. The NFL combine and after-season all-star games may be the way for Moss to show he can handle pass catching.

Conclusion 

Le'Veon Moss is another talented running back that Draft Nation projects as a mid-late round pick (5th or 6th round). When evaluating film, it is hard not to be reminded of former Auburn star Tank Bigsby. Bigsby was selected in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft, and both he and Moss are creative inside runners who excel between the tackles and in short-yardage situations. But in the open field, Moss is a burner. 

Moss’s ceiling is a bit lower than Bigsby’s, unless he can answer the question marks about his pass-catching ability.
