Was a beast fir the tigers. Anyone know what happened to him? Seems like he never got going with Dallas. Injuries maybe?

Had an 8-year career, made lots of money. Good Tiger.

Last I recall He was with KC on a one year deal. He’s been injured a good bit his last few seasons.

I recall him not being a good fit for Dallas’s scheme, but he always had solid stats. Not many Int’s but he was a reliable corner.

He’s got to be in his 30’s by now. Maybe he’s hung it up.

He lives in Flower Mound. My son played golf with him about a month ago. His 10 year old kid is a stud on the gridiron.

He was solid in Dallas for the most part. He just never lived up to first round/top 10 hype. Everyone in Dallas was expecting the next Patrick Peterson. He was not that. But he was a solid player.

Still trying to figure out where his name goes on the Wonderlic

In all seriousness, he had an NFL career most dream about. 8 seasons and a Suberbowl ring with the Chiefs.

Of all the LSU corners I think I had more confidence in Mo in coverage than anybody. Great career. 8 years ain't disco.

According to Spotrac, he played 8 seasons and made about $33.5 million total on his NFL Contracts.

Drafted 6th overall by the Cowboys in the 2012 draft and earned a $10.2 mill signing bonus on his rookie deal.

Played 5 years with the Cowboys. 2 with the Jets and his last season looks like 2019 with the Chiefs where he earned a super bowl ring....

An absolute shut down corner on one of the greatest college teams ever.

Great to hear his name on the big board again.

Mo was a bump and run corner. Dallas changed d.c after he was drafted and moved to a zone cover 2. Was never his forte. See Jason David new Orleans saints ( opposite though) from zone to man.

If you would’ve asked me then, I would’ve bet the house he’d still be in the league today. What killed his career the most IMO, is that his skillset and play were best suited for a man coverage defense, but always went to teams that ran zone.

He was living in Flower Mound...the woman who owns the book writing company I used for my book was his next door neighbor.

He is somewhere breaking a West Virginia fan's heart.

One of my all time favorite tigers. He was absolutely lock down in 2011 even moreso, IMO, than PP7 was in 2010. His int in the 9-6 game is one of my favorite plays ever

Must have some coin left from the NFL career. Wasn’t he also newsworthy when he scored like a 6 or something on the Wonderlic. 6 of 50 or so.
