Aug 13, 2022; Tampa, Florida, USA; Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (31) prior to the game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports Mostert made sure to correct one part of the post about the gun shot wound “stunting his growth.” “Height had nothing to do with it,” Mostert clarified. “It stunted my growth plate in my foot. Gotta re-work the verbiage. Still 5’11”.” The potentially fatal incident as a kid didn’t stop Mostert from becoming an NFL running back. He’s carved out a nine-year career while relying on the very foot that had its growth plate stunted nearly three decades ago. Last season, his second with the Dolphins, Mostert earned his first Pro Bowl nod after rushing for 1,012 yards with 18 touchdowns on 209 carries. |
