Le’Veon Moss Retires, Clearing Path for Dolphins’ Young Backs

The former Texas A&M standout steps away from the NFL after a brief, injury‑marred stint with Miami

Le'Veon Moss, the former Texas A&M running back who signed with the Miami Dolphins as an undrafted free agent, has announced his retirement from the NFL. The league transaction placed him on the reserve/retired list, a move that lets the Dolphins retain his rights should he ever decide to return.

College Stardom and Early Promise

Moss arrived in College Station as a four‑star prospect and a top‑100 recruit, ranking as the nation’s fifth‑best running back when he committed to Texas A&M in 2022. Over his collegiate career he amassed 1,767 rushing yards and 22 touchdowns, showing the burst that once made him a coveted NFL prospect.

Despite flashes of that potential, Moss battled injuries that curtailed his availability, playing in only seven games during the most recent season. The limited snap count prevented him from translating his college production into consistent NFL contributions.

A Roster Shift for Miami

His departure clears a spot in the Dolphins’ backfield, giving younger depth pieces a chance to step up. Reserve backs Jaylen Wright and Ollie Gordon II are now positioned to expand their roles as the team looks to rebuild depth behind the starter.

Moss’s exit also underscores the volatility of undrafted free‑agent paths, where a single injury can reshape a career trajectory. While his time in Miami was brief, the move opens a new chapter for both the player and the franchise.
