Riley Moss

The poster that thinks Moss wears sleeves because he doesn't want anyone to know he's White neglected to mention that the majority of the Denver defensive players were wearing sleeves on Sunday, not just Moss. For example go to 1:34 of this Week 3 highlights video where of the ten visible defensive players lined up, seven are wearing sleeves, six in white and one in orange:

This is not possible according to the coach's, scouts, owners and lame stream media. I love it when they get caught in their LIES!

According to the NFL Moss is the only true white corner in how many years who can play the position? I am going back to Sehorn days, what a bunch of bs.

Yep, 30 years and no White men were good enough. Then Moss comes and in his first year starting is already great. Obvious BS is right.

I saw something about Cooper De Jean getting the start this weekend. One of the real athletes must be injured. Two starting white cornerbacks on the same day possibly?

Starting at nickelback as Don pointed out. They will have 2 starting DBs, which is extremely rare.

One of, if not the most "overtargeted" CBs in the league. Wonder why?

Moss is certainly breaking the mold at CB. Great player.

Moss really ended up in a great position. He’s a phenomenal man corner, played tons of man in college.
Look at all of those targets… Even though we were disappointed he didn’t start year one, imagine if he did, got all of these targets, and didn’t have that year of development and polishing his zone skills. I remember last year just dreading the chance he had one bad game before establishing himself and his career being ruined!
I think things ended up great, he’s ELITE!

Isn’t it something that the only two white players allowed to play cornerback in decades (not counting a few one offs like Edelman) both end up being elite in their first years in the league?

And both from the only fbs program willing to play white cb’s. Crazy how only Iowa is able to find this talent!
Hopefully Iowa will continue to "find" and play them (and they have John Nestor now and offered Jaxx DeJean) as eventually this "outlier" program and the implications of it will make more open minded people take notice.
There's been a steady drumbeat by anti-Moss haters to demote him despite his success, or maybe because of it. Which is why it's important for Riley to keep playing well, and he is if this report is any indication:

Broncos training camp report: CB Riley Moss is off to an impressive start
Top Plays
You got Moss’d: Second-year corner Riley Moss had a terrific Saturday. He was sticky in coverage and broke up several passes. Among them: An athletic, contested battle along the end zone sideline to knock away a well-placed red zone throw from quarterback Bo Nix to rookie Pat Bryant. Moss later gave Marvin Mims Jr. no space on a shallow throw in team. Moss dealt with a knee injury that cost him three games late in the 2024 season, but he looks healthy, fast and confident so far in camp.

The pads come on Monday, but Saturday featured a couple of really nice pass-rush moves from what should be a disruptive defensive front.

Yes, very important. I saw some anti-White at ESPN doing starter projections for each team leave Moss off his list. I didn’t put much stock in it because these guys are mostly hacks.There's been a steady drumbeat by anti-Moss haters to demote him despite his success, or maybe because of it.

Yes, I saw that also.
Here is an article where it states he is among others who could lose their starting roles. To be fair, Anthony Richardson is at the top of the list.
