After a rookie year that was derailed due to a sports hernia/core injury, Riley Moss was looking to rebound in year two with the Broncos. He entered camp in a competition to be the Broncos' starting cornerback opposite Pat Surtain II and performed well. In the end, he was named the Broncos' starting cornerback and would be getting his first career start in the NFL in Week 1 against the Seahawks.
Early on in the season, Moss played well. He was getting extra attention from offenses due to teams shying away from going after Surtain II, but he held up well.
