In an ESPN ACC breakout players column:
Chanwtez Moss, Pittsburgh
Clemson's Tavien Feaster is getting plenty of love this offseason from Tigers fans eager to see him in a bigger role, but there’s another 5-foot-11, 210-pound sophomore tailback who posted a virtually identical stat line as a true freshman in 2016 and could be in for a big boost in carries, too. Moss saw some early action last season, averaging better than 6.3 yards per carry on 34 rushes from Sept. 24 through Oct. 15 -- three games vs. ACC foes and a 12-carry performance against Marshall -- but saw only limited action thereafter. But with James Conner gone and Pitt figuring to run the ball often, Moss could blossom into an intriguing figure in the Panthers' backfield. It's a crowded depth chart at the position, but Moss' upside combined with the right amount of touches should have him matching Feaster's hype.
