Moseley became a starter during his sophomore year, leading the team with 11 passes broken up with 27 tackles and picking off a pass in the 2016 Outback Bowl for the first interception of his career.[5] As a junior, Moseley was the Vols fifth-leading tackler with 57 (3.5 for loss) while breaking up six passes. He recorded 38 tackles, two tackles for loss, seven pass breakups and an interception as a senior.[6] Over the course of his collegiate career, Moseley accumulated 142 tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss with 31 pass deflections and two interceptions.[7]

2018 season

[edit]

Although originally projected to be a late-round pick in the 2018 NFL draft, Moseley went unselected. He signed with the San Francisco 49ers as an undrafted free agent on April 28, 2018.[6]

On September 2, Moseley was cut by the 49ers at the end of the preseason, and subsequently re-signed to the team's practice squad. On October 19, San Francisco increased Moseley's contract from $7,600 per week to $28,235, after another team was rumored to be interested in signing him.[9][10]

Moseley was promoted to the 49ers active roster on November 1. He made his NFL debut the same night in a 34–3 win against the Oakland Raiders, playing three snaps and notching one tackle on special teams.[11] However, he injured his shoulder during the game and was placed on injured reserve the following day.[12]

In the NFC Conference Championship against the Green Bay Packers, Moseley intercepted a pass thrown by Aaron Rodgers during the 37–20 victory.[15] In Super Bowl LIV, he recorded five tackles and a pass deflection in a 31–20 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
