Since his rookie NFL season, C.J. Mosley has been compared to Ray Lewis, perhaps an inevitability with the former Alabama All-American playing the same position on Lewis' old team, the Baltimore Ravens.
Mosley's performance has kept the comparison alive as he has started on a career trajectory similar to Lewis'. Like Lewis, Mosley has earned the admiration of his teammates and the respect of his opponents, and he's collected accolades.
After Baltimore selected him with the 17th choice in the 2014 NFL Draft, Mosley became the first Ravens' rookie selected for the Pro Bowl, and he's been chosen for the NFL's all-star game three times in four seasons.
