Mark Moseley

Mark Moseley, born on March twelfth, nineteen forty-eight, is a distinguished former professional American football player renowned for his role as a placekicker in the National Football League (NFL) over a remarkable sixteen-season career. Hailing from Livingston, Texas, Moseley initially showcased his athletic prowess as a quarterback at both Texas A&M University and Stephen F. Austin State University before making a pivotal transition to kicker during his senior year.

Selected in the fourteenth round of the nineteen seventy NFL draft by the Philadelphia Eagles, Moseley began his professional journey in nineteen seventy. After a single season with the Eagles, he spent two seasons with the Houston Oilers before facing a brief hiatus from the sport in nineteen seventy-three. However, his career took a significant turn when he signed with the Washington Redskins in nineteen seventy-four, where he would leave an indelible mark until his retirement in nineteen eighty-six.

During his tenure with the Redskins, Moseley achieved the remarkable distinction of winning the NFL Most Valuable Player Award in the strike-shortened nineteen eighty-two season, making him the only pure special teams player to receive this honor. His unique accomplishment places him among a select group of only three non-offensive players to ever earn the MVP title.

After being released by the Redskins in nineteen eighty-six, Moseley concluded his career with a brief stint at the Cleveland Browns, retiring later that same year. His journey through the NFL remains a testament to his skill and dedication to the game.
