Knowshon Moreno. GeorgiaMeasurables:
Combine height: 5-10 5/8
Combine weight: 217 pounds
Combine 40 time: 4.56 seconds

Stats:
Moreno rushed for 1,463 yards (at 5.9 yards per carry) and 16 touchdowns in his final year with the Bulldogs. He also caught 33 passes for 392 yards and two more touchdowns. For his Georgia career, Moreno carried 498 yards for 2,859 yards (5.7 yards per carry) and 30 touchdowns, with 53 catches for 645 yards and two more touchdowns.

Skill Set:
There are few quibbles with Moreno’s NFL-ready game. He’s a shade smaller than what most teams would like for their feature back, and the fact that he’s best between the tackles, is ultra-competitive, and refuses to go down on initial contact suggests he may take a pounding. However, he does a great job of delivering blows rather than absorbing them—he has a great stiff arm as well as a good spin move and the ability to leap over defenders who come in low—and offers defenders little to hit. Moreno has played through bumps and bruises, so there are no true durability red flags.
