Collin Mooney

Collin Karl Mooney (born April 3, 1986) is an American former professional football player who was a fullback in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Army Black Knights of the United States Military Academy. Mooney is West Point's all-time single-season rushing leader with 1,339 yards. Mooney played for the Tennessee Titans of the NFL during the 2012 and 2013 seasons, and later for the Atlanta Falcons.

Early life Mooney was born in Houston, Texas to Chuck and Kris Mooney. Mooney attended highschool at James E. Taylor where he played on both sides of the ball as a fullback and linebacker. He was a three-year letterwinner in football and earned All-Academic team honors all four years. Mooney also played baseball and belonged to the National Honor Society. In a loss at Rice, Mooney picked up 61 yards in a touchdown run. Collin Mooney (#30) takes a hand-off from Chip Bowden (#10) against Buffalo.

In the last play of his final game for West Point, the 2008 Army–Navy Game, Mooney beat the old school record for single-season rushing by one yard, setting the new record at 1,339 yards. The record was previously held by Mike Mayweather, who still holds the West Point record for career rushing. Army defensive coordinator John Mumford caused some controversy earlier in the season when he stated that "Collin Mooney is probably better than any Navy fullback we've ever faced. Not to compliment Navy, but that's a compliment to Collin."

Mooney played for the East squad in the 2009 East-West Shrine Game. He served three years as an Army officer before being granted a release to play professional football.
