CARD: TNT XFL 2023 ACQUIRED: IP 2025, San Antonio Brahmas v Memphis Showboats
CAREER SNAPSHOT:
Jordan played DB for Maryland from 2018-’21.
He started 24 games, recording 201 combined tackles, 2 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, and 1 interception.
After going undrafted he’d join the XFL in 2023 playing for the Houston Roughnecks, making 39 total tackles.
When the Roughnecks were… restructured to the USFL Conference after the ’23 season, Mosley, like many of the former XFL Roughnecks signed with the San Antonio Brahmas.
Jordan started 9 games, intercepting a pass, making 72 total tackles and .5 sacks, as the team reached the UFL Championship Game.
He’d start all 10 games for San Antonio in 2025, adding another 66 tackles.
NOTES:
Ugh so I was at the Brahmas versus Defenders tilt, when I called out Chris Steele and looked at Jordan Mosley. I felt like a total dummy when I realized I was looking at the wrong player.
Anyway the following week after the Brahmas lost a heartbreaker to Memphis in OT, the Brahmas decided they were exiting on the visitors side of the field. I spied out Jordan and asked him to come over since I had a custom of him. He signed it, but he looked disappointed because I couldn’t find the extra I had packed for him. After I located it and gave it to him, I apologized for my mistake previously to which he said, “No problem fam,” And we both walked away presumably pretty happy.
Wade Phillips has intimated that he doesn’t understand why Jordan hasn’t gotten any sniffs from the NFL, as Mosley has been an outstanding safety over the top for the Brahmas now for two years.
Well I tried to add Marquette on an extra base card, but he glanced at me- gave what I thought was a snooty look and trotted off. After the game, he b-lined for the locker room without signing for anyone.
It’s okay. I already had his certified card and this nice duo autograph of him and Brad Wing.
TRADE DETAILS:
Traded: 1/1 Alex Mollette BLACK Upper Deck 2024 UFL
Received: Sal Cannella, Marquette King, Mark Gilbert, and Jace Sternberger Upper Deck 2024 UFL autographs.
CARD: Upper Deck Game Day Moments 2024 ACQUIRED: IP, 2025
CAREER SNAPSHOT:
Justin Smith played WR at Norfolk State from 2017-2021.
He tallied 102 receptions for 1741 yards and 15 TDs.
Undrafted he’d end up joining the XFL in 2023 playing for the Houston Roughnecks.
Starting 5 contests he pulled in 16 receptions for 238 yards and a 47 yard TD.
When the Roughnecks joined the USFL conference, the players were all released back into the draft pool.
The Brahmas with a good portion of former Roughneck coaches, cannibalized the former XFL Roughnecks roster and grafted them onto the Brahmas.
Justin was a nine game starter for SA in 2024, posting 25 receptions for 264 yards and 1 TD.
As the Brahmas collapsed in 2025, Justin only saw action in 6 games starting 3.
He’d catch 9 passes for 159 yards including a 56 yard long.
About a week and a half after I got his autograph, the team inexplicably cut him.
NOTES:
I had been wanting this card since I discovered it on the Upper Deck website. Unfortunately it’s a Game Day Moments card so it was out of print. I made some trades to get other ones but I couldn’t pry this one off of even a guy who had 15 extras- which was quite frustrating. My friend Jake (who I met through the website doing trades) was my guest at the game and had this extra one. Well not really an extra. He had this base card and a gold version of it. He sympathized with my case and we worked out a deal for it, so I could have it on the spot.
I had been pointing out Smith at every home game. He was missing in action the first 4-5 weeks and then exploded when Hogan was in at QB. I yelled that out to him and we pointed back and forth. When I told him I had his card, Justin said that he’d be more than happy to sign it after the game.
He then proceeded to get his bell rung on his only catch of the day he made. Still he was of his word and when he came over I asked how he was doing and he said that he was doing fine now.
Celebrating the game, the players, the cards, and the autographs for over 25 years.
