Early years
Mosley starred at Humble High School in Humble, Texas. He played quarterback at Texas A&M where he finished his career 3rd all-time for the Aggies in rushing yards by a quarterback. As a freshman, Mosley replaced an injured David Walker against TCU and led the Aggies to victory in Fort Worth rushing for 96 yards and a touchdown in a 52-23 thrashing of the Horned Frogs. Mosley would not relinquish the job, becoming the Aggies' starting quarterback for the next three seasons.
NFL
He was selected as a receiver by the Buffalo Bills in the third round of the 1981 NFL Draft. During his three NFL seasons, he was a special teams standout as the primary kick and punt returner on the 1982 Bills team. Unfortunately, a series of injuries cut short his promising NFL career and forced Mosley to retire after the 1984 season.
