When asked who the New York Jets’ most important defensive player is, you might respond with the likes of Quinnen Williams or Sauce Gardner. Jets coaches and players, though, would likely answer C.J. Mosley. The Jets’ defensive captain garners tremendous respect in the locker room and around the league, not only for his play but also for his leadership of a top defense.
Mosley’s career with the Jets has been interesting. He was arguably on a Hall of Fame trajectory before joining New York, earning four Pro Bowls and second-team All-Pros in five years with Baltimore.
