Raheem Mostert

Raheem Mostert is an NFL running back who, as of September 21, 2026, is listed by NFL.com as an unrestricted free agent. He joined the Las Vegas Raiders in March 2025 after the Miami Dolphins released him following three seasons, but he was listed among the Raiders’ 2026 offseason departures and was not on the club’s initial 2026 53-man roster. Mostert entered the NFL in 2015 as an undrafted free agent with Philadelphia and later established himself with San Francisco before playing for Miami and Las Vegas.

Born April 9, 1992, Mostert attended Purdue, where he contributed as a running back and kick returner while also competing in track and field. His college track background included four Big Ten championship titles, a foundation for the straight-line speed that has been a defining part of his football profile. Listed at 5-foot-10 and 212 pounds, he is known as an explosive, decisive runner who can threaten defenses on outside runs and contribute in the return game.

Mostert’s signature career breakthrough came during San Francisco’s 2019 postseason run, when he delivered a historic NFC Championship Game performance against Green Bay and helped send the 49ers to Super Bowl LIV. With Miami, he earned his first Pro Bowl selection for the 2023 season. His path from undrafted player and special-teams contributor to a featured NFL back has been defined by persistence, speed and adaptability.
