Early life

A native of Theodore, Alabama, Mosley attended Theodore High School, where he played football, basketball, and ran track. As a sophomore, he was credited with 112 tackles, four sacks, and one interception, as the Bobcats finished with a 6–5 record, losing to the Auburn High School Tigers in the opening round of the Class 6A playoffs. In his junior season, Mosley set a school record with 176 tackles, (115 solo), while also recording 17 tackles for loss, seven sacks, causing four fumbles, recovering two more, and intercepting two passes, earning an ASWA 6A All-State selection. [1]

Improving his own school record, Mosley registered 186 tackles as a senior in 2009, also adding seven sacks, five fumble recoveries, and four interceptions. Theodore finished with a 9–2 season record, yet was upset by future Alabama teammate T. J. Yeldon's Daphne team in the first round of the playoffs. [2] Still, Mosley earned his second consecutive ASWA 6A All-State honors, as well as Class 6A Lineman of the Year. He finished his career at Theodore as the school's all-time leading tackler, with over 500 stops in his career.

In addition, Mosley was on the school's track & field team. He ran the 110m hurdles in 16.15 seconds and the 200m dash in 24.33 seconds. In the jumping events, he got personal-best leaps of 1.80 meters in the high jump, 6.58 meters in the long jump and 12.6 meters in the triple jump. He was also a member of the 4 × 100 m relay (43.44 s) squad. [3]

Regarded as a four-star recruit by the Rivals.com recruiting network, Mosley was listed as the sixth-ranked outside linebacker prospect in a class highlighted by five-star linebackers Jordan Hicks and Christian Jones. [4] He was also the second-ranked player from Alabama, behind fellow Crimson Tide recruit Dee Milliner. [5] Mosley played in the 2010 U.S. Army All-American Bowl, where he committed to Alabama during the game. He chose the Crimson Tide over Auburn, but also had offers from Florida State, Oklahoma, and Tennessee, among others.

College career

Mosley was a consensus Freshman All-American in 2010 for the Crimson Tide, selected by the FWAA, [6] Rivals.com, [7] and College Football News [8] after playing in all 13 games as a true freshman. [9]

Mosley dislocated his right elbow in the first quarter of the fourth game of the 2011 season against Arkansas. He missed the following two games against Florida and Vanderbilt and did not record a tackle in the next game against Mississippi. [10] Mosley shared the starting weak-side inside linebacker ("Will") linebacker spot with Nico Johnson in 2011 and 2012, with Alabama coaches using Mosley more in pass coverage. [11] [12]

The Associated Press (AP) recognized Mosley as a first-team All-American after the 2012 regular season, a year after former teammate linebacker Dont'a Hightower made the AP All-American first-team and other linebacker teammate Courtney Upshaw made the second-team. [13] With Mosley's selection to the AP All-American team in 2012, Alabama had a linebacker on that team (first through third-teams) for four of the previous five years. Mosley led the team in tackles in 2012 with 107; sophomore Trey DePriest was second with 59 tackles. Mosley finished third for the 2012 Butkus Award (goes to the country's best linebacker) behind Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o and Georgia linebacker Jarvis Jones. [14] Mosley earned Alabama's MVP award in 2012. [15] Mosley's three career interception returns for touchdowns tied an Alabama record. [16] Mosley indicated in December 2012 that he will return to Alabama for his senior season. [17]

Mosley led the Alabama football team in tackles (108) for the second consecutive year in 2013, averaging the most tackles-per-game in his college career. In November 2013, he was a semifinalist for the Lombardi, Bednarik and Butkus Awards. [18] While the Missouri Tigers' Michael Sam is often remembered as the 2013 Southeastern Conference (SEC) Defensive Player of the Year, he and Mosley actually shared the award. Mosley was again named as a first-team All-SEC selection. [19] He was also selected to the First-team of the AP All-America Team. [20]

Professional career

Pre-draft

Prior to the NFL Combine, Mosley underwent surgery to repair a labrum issue after dislocating his hip. He attended the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, but was not able to participate in running drills as he was still recovering. [21] Mosley completed the vertical jump, short shuttle, three-cone drill, and broad jump at the combine.

On March 12, 2014, Mosley participated at Alabama's pro day and performed the 40-yard dash (4.63s), 20-yard dash (2.70s), 10-yard dash (1.56s), and bench press (15). Multiple NFL scouts and team representatives attended Alabama's pro day, including head coaches Sean Payton (New Orleans Saints), Marvin Lewis (Cincinnati Bengals), and Chip Kelly (Philadelphia Eagles). [22] At the conclusion of the pre-draft process, Mosley was projected to be a first round pick by NFL draft experts and scouts. He was regarded as a top 15 pick, but fell in some first round projections due to his lengthy injury history. [23] Mosley attended pre-draft visits and private workouts for multiple teams, but received the most interest from the Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens. [24]

Baltimore Ravens

2014

In addition, he was one of eight Alabama Crimson Tide players to be selected that year. [27] On May 27, 2014, the Ravens signed Mosley to a four-year, $8.87 million contract that includes a signing bonus of $4.71 million. [28] [29]

He finished his rookie season in 2014 with 133 combined tackles (89 solo), eight pass deflections, three sacks, and two interceptions in 16 games and 16 starts.

In Week 3, he recorded six combined tackles, broke up two passes, and made an interception during a 19–17 win at the Jacksonville Jaguars. This marked his second consecutive game with an interception. Mosley was inactive for two games (Weeks 6–7) due to a hamstring injury. [41] The injury ended his 37-game streak of consecutive starts. On December 18, 2016, Mosley collected a season-high 13 combined tackles (eight solo) during a 27–26 win against the Eagles in Week 15. [42] On December 20, 2016, it was announced that Mosley was voted to the 2017 Pro Bowl, marking the second Pro Bowl selection of his career.
