Mark Moseley

Mark Moseley, the sole pure special teams player to earn the Associated Press NFL Most Valuable Player award (1982), began his NFL career after being drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in the 14th round, 346th overall, in 1970. He played one season with the Eagles before moving to the Houston Oilers for the 1971-1972 seasons. His career took a significant turn when he joined the Washington Redskins as a free agent in 1974, establishing himself as the last pure straight-on placekicker in NFL history. Moseley’s standout 1982 season saw him convert a league-leading 20 of 21 field goals for a remarkable 95.2% success rate, contributing significantly to the Redskins’ Super Bowl XVII victory over the Miami Dolphins with two crucial field goals and three extra points.

Following his retirement from the NFL, Moseley seamlessly transitioned into the business world, becoming a successful entrepreneur. He owned two thriving restaurants in Virginia, showcasing his acumen beyond the football field. Later, he served as the Director of Franchising for Five Guys Enterprises, a pivotal role in which he significantly contributed to the company’s substantial national expansion.
