He added considerable value to the team as a kick returner as well. in 1994, he was the NCAA leader for kickoff returns with a 32.8 yard average for each return.

The Buffalo Bills would take Moulds with the 24th overall selection in the 1996 NFL Draft. He is the only Mississippi State receiver to ever be drafted in the first round. Moulds had one of the best careers in the NFL for former Bulldogs. He played 12 seasons in the league, 10 of which were with the Bills. During his career with the Bills, he was selected to three Pro Bowls and named to three All Pro teams.
