Raheem Mostert embarked on a new chapter in his NFL career when he signed with the Miami Dolphins as an unrestricted free agent from the San Francisco 49ers. After facing uncertainty with multiple NFL teams, he at last found stability with the Dolphins, who rewarded him with a two-year contract last season, reaffirming their confidence in his abilities.
Amid the challenges of maintaining his legacy in the NFL, Mostert, who is also a passionate video game lover, recently opened up his ambitious aspirations for the gaming industry’s future.
Raheem Mostert plans to create eSports team
Raheem Mostert recently made waves in the world of esports by attending a regular season tournament for the Call of Duty League. Amid the excitement of the Winners Finals, Losers Finals, and Grand Finals matches, Mostert took the opportunity to share his plans for the future with interviewer Puckett, revealing his intention to create his own gaming organization in South Florida.
He even expressed his passion for gaming and his desire to provide opportunities for aspiring gamers. “I’m a big fan of OpTic. I’m also creating my own gaming organization down here in South Florida, trying to give back to the community. I feel like a lot of kids want to get into it,” Mostert said.
The Call of Duty League, organized by Activision, stands as the premier professional esports league for Call of Duty enthusiasts. With regular season tournaments held at various locations and teams competing for supremacy, the league strives to put forward the skill and strategy of top-tier gamers.
Meanwhile, Mostert’s involvement in the gaming community has piqued the interest of his fans, many of whom may now consider pursuing opportunities in the esports world. In addition to the Dolphins’ running back, reports indicate that New York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner also attended the gaming ceremony.
Raheem Mostert love for gamming
Before becoming a hero on the football field for the Miami Dolphins, Raheem Mostert found solace and enjoyment in the world of video games, particularly his favorite, Call of Duty. However, as his NFL career blossomed, Mostert’s hobby took a back seat to the demands of his newfound fame.
In an interview with NBC Sports Bay Area, the former 49ets player reflected on the changes in his life since entering the NFL spotlight, stating how his days have become consumed with media obligations. It now leaves little time for gaming.
“Just more interviews, that’s about it. More interviews and I don’t have that much free time to play video games like I did before. But, hey, that’s what comes with it.”
Nevertheless, he remains grateful for the opportunities afforded to him by his NFL platform. He sees his journey from gamer to professional athlete as a chance to spread positivity and inspire others.
“I used to be shy about my upbringing and how I was raised and all the stuff I went through, but now I have a platform to where I can spread the word and give a message to everyone, and it’s all positive,” he said.
While his gaming days may be fewer and farther between now, his transition from the virtual world of gaming to the real-world gridiron surely inspire many young stars who are vying to have a career in the NFL.
