He played nine games in 2007, finishing third on the team with 32 catches for 368 yards and scoring two touchdowns. He missed three games due to injury.

Mougey missed two games, but still managed to improve his production to 34 receptions for 437 yards while scoring five times. He led the team in yards-per-catch average at 12.9 out of players with at least ten catches, and he had a 43-yard reception.
