Morris: Ex-Johnson C. Smith star Jordan Mosely has the mental makeup to make the NFL

CHARLOTTE, North Carolina  --  Somewhere along the whirlwind tour from Charlotte to Atlanta and back, perhaps while riding the Amtrak train or maybe the Greyhound bus, Jordan Mosely learned something about himself.

Nothing – not even 26 hours with little to no sleep – could prevent him from pursuing his dream of some day playing in the National Football League. Additionally, dealing with the unexpected only strengthened his resolve.

Mosely’s reward for overcoming adversity and performing at a high level during the March 17 NFL Regional Combine in Atlanta was an invitation to perform again Sunday and Monday in Dallas along with 218 other draft-eligible prospects at the Super Regional Combine.

“Jordan, obviously is over-the-moon excited to get to go out there and compete,” said Austin Atkinson, Mosely’s 35-year-old agent whose aim is to get his client drafted by an NFL team (not likely) or get him signed to participate in an NFL preseason camp (25 percent of Super Regional participants a year ago were invited to an NFL camp).
