Knowshon Moreno’s playing style brings one right to that of Brian Westbrook of the Philadelphia Eagles. A compact player (that’s the nice way of saying small, right?), Moreno makes the best of his low center of gravity.

He is slippery in traffic, causing defenders to miss-tackle, as he easily slips out out of arm tackles.

Moreno must overcome his size disadvantage in the NFL, but the emergence of Darren Sproles in San Diego last season can only help his cause.

He survived while wearing a big target on his jersey in the SEC. Moreno was the focus of any defense that went up against the Bulldogs in his Junior season, yet he performed almost weekly. He did struggle against top defenses Alabama and Florida.
