Few players have the luxury of strolling into the NFL and landing a starting spot at their position.
Raheem Mostert wasn't one of those guys.
But Raheem never let being dubbed a "special teams guy" get to him, nor did Justin Bethel:
"I knew that I was 3rd, 4th, sometimes 5th on the depth chart. I always utilized special teams as my way of getting on the field. You could hold me back from being a running back, but you not finna hold me back from making plays." - @RMos_8Ball
Instead, they used special teams to earn their keep.
Landing them multiple Pro Bowl selections, All-Pro awards and a few broken records along the way.
Not bad for a couple of "special teams guys" 😏
