there was an article on this last week by Zack Kelberman, the Senior Editor for Mile High Huddle
>3rd-year cornerback Riley Moss might have lost his starting job to 1st-round rookie Jahdae Barron (2024 Jim Thorpe winner, 2024 Consensus All-American, 2024 First-team All-SEC...4.39 forty)
>A 2023 third-round pick, Moss was elevated to the CB2 position last season opposite reigning Defensive Player of the Year Patrick Surtain II. He largely held his own, totaling 65 solo tackles, eight pass deflections, one interception, and a forced fumble — that is, until a November knee injury sidelined his sophomore ascension.
>Moss was not as effective upon returning to action, and the Broncos' playoff campaign ended with a blowout loss to Buffalo in the Wild Card round. Three months later, the club used its 20th overall choice on Barron, bypassing other areas of need to strengthen its back end.
>“When you’re opposite of Patrick, you’re getting a lot of traffic. He rose to the occasion," head coach Sean Payton said of Moss in June. "He’s someone who’s extremely smart. So studying splits, all the things that allow you to have a chance to be a pretty good corner. I say this, if you’re covering everything, you’re not covering anything. Tight split, minus-2, plus-2, runway. In eliminating routes that can’t be run. He’s having a good offseason.”
>With Surtain dominating one side of the field, Moss presumably will compete with Barron to man the other side. Draft pedigree might end up winning out; Barron has already been observed taking first-string reps during the acclimation period of training camp.
>If that's the case, and especially if Denver retains slot corner Ja'Quan McMillian, Moss legitimately may find himself on the bubble
