SANTA CLARA, Calif. — The story of Raheem Mostert resides in a Notes app document on his iPhone.
"I should show you this right now," the 49ers running back said, as he reached into his pocket to reveal the personal source of his motivation.
At the top of the screen are two words: "Cut dates."
Beneath it, a list of all of the teams who deemed him unworthy of a roster spot.
Philly — September 4th, 2015
Dolphins — October 13th, 2015
Baltimore — December 14th, 2015
Browns — September 4th, 2016
The New York Jets and Chicago Bears are included as well, but Mostert didn't bother to type the exact dates of his release from either club.
