K.J. Osborn 2021 Season Interview

Osborn also has posted “Morning Mo” — as in motivation — messages on his personal Instagram Stories for about a year-and-a-half.

“I started it just at random. … I’ve been doing it every day, and I get feedback. A lot of people say they look forward to me posting.

“I don’t just throw anything up there. I look for something, I find something that I feel like people can really relate to and help people get up in the morning and get a boost of motivation,” Osborn added. “Who knows right now how much more it will go, but right now, it’s just motivation for people and I’m seeing that it helps them, so I’ll continue to do it.”

A native of Ypsilanti, Michigan, Osborn attended the University of Buffalo and studied sociology before transferring to the University of Miami as a graduate student and earning a degree in criminal justice.

He is pursuing an internship with the FBI in Miami this offseason.

“I’m trying to work that out, but I want to play football for as long as I can, and we’ll see where things go down the road,” Osborn said. “I don’t know if I can be in the Secret Service after being in the NFL. I don’t know how that works, because I’m not really secret.”
