On Tuesday, Knowshon Moreno stopped by ESPN for a chat about the upcoming NFL Draft, his experience at the NFL combine and his time with the Bulldogs. According to Moreno’s Scouts Inc.’s draft profile, he is a big character guy, saying that he “immediately took over as a team leader when he cracked the starting lineup as a freshman in 2007. Not a vocal leader but leads by example. Great practice player. Ultra competitive. His relentless style of play is infectious … Feet are seemingly always moving. Displays good ball security. Plays the game with a non-stop motor.”
Here’s a little excerpt from the chat. If you want to read the whole thing visit ESPN here.
Larry (Pasco, WA): What NFL RB is your playing style most like?
Knowshon Moreno: I like watching LT. I like the way that Adrian Peterson runs…probably a combination of both. Maybe a Walter Payton type–he was a great back. I just love the way those guys run the ball.
Jimmy (chicago): Do you feel your 40 time has affected your draft position?
Knowshon Moreno: I’m not really sure. I would have loved to run faster, but I believe I ran really well. Coaches have tape, so they’ll look at that. I’m running at my pro day, so I’m pretty happy with my performance.
