Raheem Mostert had the game of his life in the NFC Championship Game when he rushed for 220 yards and four touchdowns on 29 carries. The 49ers are Mostert's sixth NFL team since he was an undrafted rookie in 2015. That preseason, with Chip Kelly's Philadelphia Eagles, Mostert led the NFL in yards from scrimmage, yet he was cut before the season opener. Five more teams would bring him in over the next two seasons and let him go. Mostert remembers them all.

Below are the six teams that had Mostert in their locker room and let him go. Only one team found a way to use him fairly consistently on special teams. Some never even put him on the field.
