The scariest thing is the fact that he was so much better than most everyone else in the league, at the time. Chris Cater taught him what he knew, so the hands of Moss followed his mentor. He was a total package of height, speed, catching, confidence, and determination. When he threw his hand up. He was saying, “I’m open if you trust me!”
@@qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm4830 - No, they don't. They don't all have HIS speed + HIS hops + HIS ability to snag the ball and secure it. Sure, Hill has that kind of speed, but not the other abilities. Sure, Gronk has always had the ability to snag balls, but not those hops or speed. The list goes on. Stop lying 🤡
I grew up in Huntington, WV (Marshall University) in the 90s. Randy Moss & Chad Pennington combo was THE most exciting thing on ANY Saturday in the country thru those couple seasons!
Moss and T.O. we're the freak specimens of their era and I had the pleasure of growing up as a teenager watching them wreak havoc in the late 90s early 00s. FlyEaglesFly 🦅
Yep, like in gymnastics or figure skating, when you're unique and so innovative you do something that's never been done before, people notice. No one ever says, "He got Riced."
As a Minnesota native, we really had no idea just how special Moss would be. It's a shame the Vikings are such chokers. The '98 season is still haunting. This man is a hero. There's nothing better than watching him moon Packers fans after a TD!
As a Packers fan, I’m still mad about it. And as a Packers fan, let me say thank-you to your idiotic clown franchise for trading Moss IN HIS PRIME out of the division 😂
@Garrett Grier Just a devastating blow over here. Lol. The amount of shock on our collective faces. Dude hadn't missed in 122 kicks and chose that kick to fk up...😂
The only reason he mooned the crowd was that the Packers fans mooned the Vikings team bus before the game. It was hilarious. Even funnier was Joe Buck's meltdown afterward, like Moss had eaten a baby under the goalpost.
@@TONEakaSHOW I played WR in highschool and for a D-3 team, but i did have two buddies go to the NFL. The things Moss did at the WR position are impossible to do. Barry and Moss were two A1 Super Freaks of Nature. Moss never even hit his speed potential. Had he ran track in the offseason or did some Olympic sprinting training and hired an olympic sprinting coach, only God knows how fast he could have truly ran. This is why several people call Moss the Usain Bolt of the NFL. Barry was amazing too though, super freak in his own right. Barry is the GOAT RB, Moss is the GOAT WR.
The craziest thing about Moss's speed, is it literally doesn't even look like he's trying. He's so tall and has that long stride that he takes 3 steps off the line and all of a sudden he's blowing by you. Watch that Revis 1 handed TD again, he takes 3 steps off the line and he already puts his hand up 7 yards from the line of scrimmage. He knew Revis was cooked THAT early.
The most complete Wide Receiver of all time!!!! I was so fortunate to grow up seeing him play from the beginning to the end of his career!!!! If only 2007 could have went different..... It honestly would take 5 receivers to make ONE Moss!!!! These highlights are like playing Madden 03 to 05 on Rookie and just throwing everything to Moss!!!
People from WVA knew Randy Moss would dominate the NFL. West Virginia officials tried hard to ruin his life but he persevered. He deserve the HOF. I remember watching him in DuPont High School. He is the best receiver EVER in the NFL.
Got to give Chris Carter a lot of credit for mentoring and showing Moss how to be professional, never being jealous but always challenging and encouraging. A lot of guys with Moss’s talent self destruct due to the success.
@@curtiswilliams6042 that 2000 team was bound to fail, we collapsed at the end of the year and our defense was terrible even if we beat the giants that ravens defense was beyond loaded

As a 9er fan, idc if he was out of his prime when he played for us, it was still cool seeing Randy play for the Red & Gold. The most athletic WR ever 💯
@Fries - Yes, OP shouldn't have used "if". However, it is a colloquialism to express his thoughts. "I don't care IF X is true" as opposed to "I don't care THAT X is true". People simply don't use the second version - even when they should.
I know people like how dangerous moss was on the outside route but really when I saw him into the scene it was availability to move ACROSS the field to gain yards that was amazing!
Jerry Rice may be the best rcvr (based stats and rings), but R. Moss made it look effortless. And this is why I personally feel that he's the greatest to ever play the position.
In my opinion moss gives rice a run for his money for the greatest wr or you can say moss is the goat wr but here is this, Rice had back to back hall of fame qb’s (joe Montana, Steve young) then had 1 year of Jeff Garcia I’m pretty sure then rich Gannon (who won mvp in 02-03) but moss had 1 year of Randall Cunningham than 1 year of Jeff George then he had Dante culppeer than Kerry Colins than Tom Brady than had Colin capernek so bascliy rice had hall of fame qb’s than a pro bowler but moss had pro bowlers and the goat but he had Brady for 2 years so moss had worse qb’s than rice in his prime.
Physically, Moss is more gifted than Rice, BUT Jerry was more consistent by a lifetime. Rice had seven 1k yards receiving seasons in his 30s, and barely missed having 9..........yeah debate over lol. Yeah Randy was nice but he was not better than Rice.
I grew up watching football since 1980 and I really appreciate football with the upmost Love of and for the game. I played WR and 84 has to be the GOAT no question about it.
I remember playing Madden '05, I only had one strategy in making my team, put Randy Moss on one side and Terrell Owens on the other and throw jump ball passes to them. Unstoppable.
Being from MN, used to watch him in the dome. Just about every time he threw his arm up signaling to the QB he had the corner beat, everyone in the stands stood up because we knew the ball was goin deep to the Big Boss. Fun to watch
Rice had better work ethic than everybody wasn’t just Moss. Stop letting the white media make u believe Moss didn’t have work ethic. Why would u say he didn’t have work ethic?
@@ricosanchez202 Moss will tell you himself. He was so gifted he didn’t need to work on his game fr cause he was already better than everybody else. His speed and jumping ability is gifts man you can coach that shit
Rice was better because of that work ethic that kept him in the league. Moss should have had the better career. He had all of the physical gifts necessary to make it so... but, he was his own worst enemy
@@benframbaugh9907 Moss did have a excellent career, WTF are you talking about? He is a first ballot hall of famer. Jerry Rice played longer but you know damn well if you can draft a receiver it would be Randy Moss over Rice. The media painted Randy Moss a certain way. None of his teammates never said he didn’t have work ethic. No receiver nor any other players hadJerry Rice work ethic so you have no argument there. Sometimes when you are naturally bigger,faster, & more athletic than others you get portrayed as not having work ethic & the media didn’t like Moss because he didn’t kiss the media ass & he had cornrows in his hair so they going make u out to be some type of thug or something when it’s not the case. John Madden knows football better than us all & even Madden said Moss is the best receiver he seen. If someone is the best what’s the problem? When he was on the field he was the best so what’s this work ethic b.s. some of y’all be talking about?
@@jump6098 But when Miss got on that field he was an ultra competitor & always made big plays. It’s not like he had gifts & let them go to waste like some receivers.
idk about best, i think hes right up with megatron as the most dominant and if i had to pick a wr to help me win a game it would be moss, but if im a franchise and i want a wr it HAS to be rice because he was great for ~20 years. It really depends on how you define best
@@judahslion5611 again it depends on how you determine greatness, if i am in the superbowl and want one wr to get me the ring it has to be moss, if i want to win consistently to make and possibly win multiple superbowls its jerry rice
“They can’t jump with me!! gol-LLYY!!!!” 😂 Randy Moss was a BOSS, and I think he was even better than Jerry Rice overall (although Rice had longevity on his side).
@@Oneofthegreats1 that’s a pretty good argument, actually 🤔. I think Moss and Rice are SO close that my opinion on which is better actually changes back and forth over time. Jerry Rice was amazing for a longer period of time, but Moss was always more talented overall… honestly I think it’s a tie. Give Moss Joe Montana and Steve Young, and he’s DEFINITELY better than Rice…. Give Aaron Rodgers Bill Belichick and that Patriots dynasty all those years, and there’s a good chance he’s better than Brady all-time. I don’t know man.. I would probably put Moss and Rice as co-GOATS at WR 🤷♂️
@@coryjohnson2486 nah I wouldn’t say give him Montana and Young and he’s better than Rice, Moss literally played had the greatest QB of all time in his prime Also I don’t think Aaron Rodgers would’ve been as great as Brady even if he had Belicheck and was on the Pats he got the talent but he’s just not that guy
@@357twilson I would take T O over Rice anyday. Imagine Owens playing against those smaller corners rice played his whole career against. He would eat them alive!
@@javiersanchez1661 well you can take whomever you want, but reality is different than preference. You act like Jerry Rice played in the 60’s. I hope you realize Jerry Rice and T.O were once teammates? So Rice played in the same era as T.O 😂. Let me put this into perspective. When Jerry Rice was 37 years old and T.O was 26, Rice had more catches, yards, and touchdowns when they were on the same team!! Rice was Wr1 and T.O was Wr2.
best to ever do it. theres a reason moss is the only player in NFL history to be the focal point of a record setting offense on two entirely different teams.
Yet both times he came up short. That’s typical Randy Moss for you. He was shut down in both of those loses in the playoffs. Why, because he was too one dimensional
@@357twilson lmao he had 7 catches for 108 yards and what should have been the game winning TD until the patriots defense choked. and in 98 he had 6 catches for 80 yards and a TD. talk about being a casual...."he was shut down both times." you clown
@@PeteZam you see this is why you fail to see Rice was better. You simply are afraid of the truth. Moss DID NOT have 7 catches for 108 yards in the Super Bowl, Moss had 5 catches for 62 yards. And in the 98’ NFC championship game Moss ACTUALLY had 6 catches for 75 yards. So YOU are the casual for posting false numbers. But let’s look into those numbers. I remember those games perfectly. Let’s look at that NFC Championship game loss to the Falcons. Moss had a touchdown catch of 31 yards on the opening drive. He only had 44 yards the rest of the game, in spite of the Vikings throwing the ball to him 13 times. He was shut down when it mattered. Let’s look at the Super Bowl in 2007. The opposite happened. Moss was shut down for over 3 quarters. He scored the go ahead touchdown in the final minutes of the game. In fact Moss played in 2 Super Bowls and had a total of 7 catches for 103 yards and 1 touchdown. To compare, Rice in 1 Super Bowl had 10 catches 149 yards and 3 touchdowns. Rice > Moss/T.O combined
Randy would do any thing for any team he had and did his team like it was his family he never let them Down and believed himself and became a legend till this day
@@javiersanchez1661 Jerry Rice and T. Owens were not better than randy moss... HELL NO... they were both amazing receivers but Randy Moss changed the game of football forcing defenses to play a cover 2 with the safety's over the top to try and stop him and they still couldn't do it. Rice had Montana and Young, who did Randy Moss have as a QB again...
@@darkwingduck315 Randy Moss was ahead of Owens by more than 2,000 yards receiving! Owens caught Moss in his prime, and passed him up. He also caught Moss in Touchdowns. Then Moss barely passed him back up.
Moss 8,375 yards, and 77 touchdowns for 6 years. Owens 6,170 yards and 59 touchdowns for 6 years. Just subtract Owens total from Moss's total, and it comes out to 2,205 yards. How does a receiver you say is the greatest blow 2,200 yards to Owens? Moss started faster T O finished stronger and was the better receiver. Moss was better at first but he couldn't hold T O off for long.
Randy Moss ruined my ability to watch WRs. I grew up watching him and assumed thats how you played the position. That you always went up and got the ball. But then I started watching other guys and I realized how rare that actually is. Most players, even big, tall, athletic guys, almost always just hope the ball drops into their hands. Even guys like Mike Evans, who is known for being a guy to throw jump balls to in the endzone, doesnt do what Moss did, which is adjust on a deep ball and go up and snatch it wherever it is.
Moss had INSANE balance proprioception (it's the body's motor awareness of itself as it's moving in space), and his hand eye coordination was 1 in a billion. Some of the catches Moss made with one hand are RIDICULOUS. Dude is considered the SuperFreak for a reason. Funny you mentioned Mike Evans because Evans trains with Moss in Florida in the offseason and he says that Moss is STILL fast as hell, and can burn him even now (allegedly still runs low 4.3s). Darrell Green ran sub 4.4 into his 40s so it's definitely possible if you stay in shape and are genetically blessed with Olympic speed. Moss is the GOAT. No WR is close. The only one that kinda made it a little interesting was Megatron but even he isn't Moss.
Dealt with him at my job, Zales at MOA. Never bought for himself, just his lived ones, never signed an autograph. Neat guy. Was present @ Vikes vs Falcons where Anderson blew it.
The thing about Moss was, not only could he fly and run good routes, he could catch. He didn't make stupid errors. He had great hands and he'd keep his feet in bounds on the catch. He had all the attributes of a slow really good end but he had elite elite speed. Oh, and he was 6' 4' and could jump. Yeah, it wasn't fair from my point of view.
@@sydboski Elite speed would be a situation where the opposing team has to be wary and make extra adjustments because of ones openfield speed. It would be relative to the position. Maybe a tightend's elite speed would not cut it for a wide receiver. In Moss's case he was pretty much faster than anybody. Scary fast. That combined with great hands and uncanny situational awareness was a mega-threat. And being 6'4" on top of that.
@@YUHJKT That's just it he wasn't pretty much faster than everybody. What if I told you that there are at least 30-40 players in NFL history that ran faster than Moss ever did.
@@sydboski Well by your math, out of the over 25,000 nfl players, 35 of them are faster. First of all, I doubt that 35 were faster. Maybe 10. And second of all, why are you wasting my time with that statement. Elite speed doesn't mean the fastest. It means that he is probably in the top 5%. Let's say 1%. 1% of 25,000 is 250 players. Are you actually saying Moss didn't have elite speed?
Moss's 1 handed catches were way better than Odell's signature. Odell basically used the gloves caught it like a fishing net then was able to secure it as he fell to the ground. Look at Moss 6:38, that is like Michael Jordan palming a basketball. Odell's fingertip catch was a floater he basically just prevented from going over his head stopping it and securing it. Randy full grabbed the ball 1 handed, tucked it and stayed on his feet.
@@MrV41N I'm an old fart. Way back when, before all this fantasy fooseball we picked teams (trading cards). We also picked teams for the grade school playground games. Who is your first pickof all the players ever to play the game? Barry Sanders was my #2 but now? Lamar Jackson really is something. If he stays healthy, I may have a new #1.
Rice, in my opinion, is the greatest in terms of stats, speed, and consistency. But Moss isn't far behind, and is probably the best deep threat to ever play
I had to show my 10 year old nephew who this man was since he's being playing Moss with his buddies had no idea it was named after an all time great. Dude defines the position.
The scariest thing wasn't his speed, it wasn't his strength, it wasn't even his hops. It was the fact he had all of these at the same time

I grew up watching football since 1980 and I really appreciate football with the upmost Love of and for the game. I played WR and 84 has to be the GOAT no question about it.
I swear, sometimes he was just catching them with one hand just because lol. I consider myself lucky to have grown up watching him play.
I remember playing Madden '05, I only had one strategy in making my team, put Randy Moss on one side and Terrell Owens on the other and throw jump ball passes to them. Unstoppable.
Sends chills to me when he said “don’t be scared I ain’t gonna bite you but I gonna hurt you
This man is one of my favorite players ever loved watching him play
I knew Randy Moss was good but watching these highlights…I’m speechless 😶
I wanna know who was the first person to say “you got mossed” because that shit reached every city in America before social media was a thing
When you attempt to go up high and you don’t catch the ball in the air or snatch it away from him, then you got yourself mossed
As a rookie he was being talked as a NFL MVP!!!!!!
Being from MN, used to watch him in the dome. Just about every time he threw his arm up signaling to the QB he had the corner beat, everyone in the stands stood up because we knew the ball was goin deep to the Big Boss. Fun to watch
This dude put Daunte Culpepper in a madden cover.
Ha yup. but Moss was on that old NFL 2k cover
culpepper was always looking for moss, because he knew he'd make his pass look good. love culpepper too .what a duo tho
The basketball skills made Randy look like he was just messing around on a football field. Nobody made it look easier
He's a good ol' country boy. You wonder how he'd have done with more carries out of the backfield when he was younger...he could flat-out run.
GOAT! the only thing Rice had over Moss was his work ethic. Moss caught passes from like 20+ different starting QBs
Rice had better work ethic than everybody wasn’t just Moss. Stop letting the white media make u believe Moss didn’t have work ethic. Why would u say he didn’t have work ethic?
@@ricosanchez202 Moss will tell you himself. He was so gifted he didn’t need to work on his game fr cause he was already better than everybody else. His speed and jumping ability is gifts man you can coach that shit
Rice was better because of that work ethic that kept him in the league.
Moss should have had the better career. He had all of the physical gifts necessary to make it so... but, he was his own worst enemy
@@benframbaugh9907 Moss did have a excellent career, WTF are you talking about? He is a first ballot hall of famer. Jerry Rice played longer but you know damn well if you can draft a receiver it would be Randy Moss over Rice. The media painted Randy Moss a certain way. None of his teammates never said he didn’t have work ethic. No receiver nor any other players hadJerry Rice work ethic so you have no argument there. Sometimes when you are naturally bigger,faster, & more athletic than others you get portrayed as not having work ethic & the media didn’t like Moss because he didn’t kiss the media ass & he had cornrows in his hair so they going make u out to be some type of thug or something when it’s not the case. John Madden knows football better than us all & even Madden said Moss is the best receiver he seen. If someone is the best what’s the problem? When he was on the field he was the best so what’s this work ethic b.s. some of y’all be talking about?
@@jump6098 But when Miss got on that field he was an ultra competitor & always made big plays. It’s not like he had gifts & let them go to waste like some receivers.
This world will NEVER see the like of Randy Moss again. The best WR of all-time. PERIOD!!
No
idk about best, i think hes right up with megatron as the most dominant and if i had to pick a wr to help me win a game it would be moss, but if im a franchise and i want a wr it HAS to be rice because he was great for ~20 years. It really depends on how you define best
A man by the name of Jerry Rice would have something to say about that. Moss and TO were great but they weren't Jerry Rice caliber.
Julio?
@@judahslion5611 again it depends on how you determine greatness, if i am in the superbowl and want one wr to get me the ring it has to be moss, if i want to win consistently to make and possibly win multiple superbowls its jerry rice
“They can’t jump with me!! gol-LLYY!!!!” 😂
Randy Moss was a BOSS, and I think he was even better than Jerry Rice overall (although Rice had longevity on his side).
By this logic you think Aaron Rodgers > Tom Brady
Jerry Rice is literally better he’s practically Miss but slower, Moss just more talented
@@Oneofthegreats1 that’s a pretty good argument, actually 🤔. I think Moss and Rice are SO close that my opinion on which is better actually changes back and forth over time. Jerry Rice was amazing for a longer period of time, but Moss was always more talented overall… honestly I think it’s a tie. Give Moss Joe Montana and Steve Young, and he’s DEFINITELY better than Rice…. Give Aaron Rodgers Bill Belichick and that Patriots dynasty all those years, and there’s a good chance he’s better than Brady all-time.
I don’t know man.. I would probably put Moss and Rice as co-GOATS at WR 🤷♂️
@@coryjohnson2486 nah I wouldn’t say give him Montana and Young and he’s better than Rice, Moss literally played had the greatest QB of all time in his prime
Also I don’t think Aaron Rodgers would’ve been as great as Brady even if he had Belicheck and was on the Pats he got the talent but he’s just not that guy
@@coryjohnson2486 and all honesty bro you could put TO > Moss too
Jerry is the best receiver ever for sure but i never heard a nigga say you got riced lol
The best receiver to ever play period
Best deep threat ever, but T O is the goat.
@@javiersanchez1661Rice clears Moss and T.O by miles
@@357twilson Only because the nfl stopped Owens from playing anymore. He was definitely a threat to break Rice's records!
@@357twilson I would take T O over Rice anyday. Imagine Owens playing against those smaller corners rice played his whole career against. He would eat them alive!
@@javiersanchez1661 well you can take whomever you want, but reality is different than preference. You act like Jerry Rice played in the 60’s. I hope you realize Jerry Rice and T.O were once teammates? So Rice played in the same era as T.O 😂. Let me put this into perspective. When Jerry Rice was 37 years old and T.O was 26, Rice had more catches, yards, and touchdowns when they were on the same team!! Rice was Wr1 and T.O was Wr2.
That 98' vikings team was incredible,an for a big receiver like moss,he had amazing speed
catch the pass then catch some bass gotta love the boy from Rand Wv
best to ever do it. theres a reason moss is the only player in NFL history to be the focal point of a record setting offense on two entirely different teams.
Yet both times he came up short. That’s typical Randy Moss for you. He was shut down in both of those loses in the playoffs. Why, because he was too one dimensional
@@357twilson lmao he had 7 catches for 108 yards and what should have been the game winning TD until the patriots defense choked. and in 98 he had 6 catches for 80 yards and a TD. talk about being a casual...."he was shut down both times." you clown
@@PeteZam you see this is why you fail to see Rice was better. You simply are afraid of the truth. Moss DID NOT have 7 catches for 108 yards in the Super Bowl, Moss had 5 catches for 62 yards. And in the 98’ NFC championship game Moss ACTUALLY had 6 catches for 75 yards. So YOU are the casual for posting false numbers.
But let’s look into those numbers. I remember those games perfectly. Let’s look at that NFC Championship game loss to the Falcons. Moss had a touchdown catch of 31 yards on the opening drive. He only had 44 yards the rest of the game, in spite of the Vikings throwing the ball to him 13 times. He was shut down when it mattered.
Let’s look at the Super Bowl in 2007. The opposite happened. Moss was shut down for over 3 quarters. He scored the go ahead touchdown in the final minutes of the game. In fact Moss played in 2 Super Bowls and had a total of 7 catches for 103 yards and 1 touchdown. To compare, Rice in 1 Super Bowl had 10 catches 149 yards and 3 touchdowns.
Rice > Moss/T.O combined
Randy would do any thing for any team he had and did his team like it was his family he never let them Down and believed himself and became a legend till this day
The greatest receiver to ever play period. Randy Moss changed the game of football.
Rice, and Owens were better! Moss was the best deep threat ever not the best wr ever.
@@javiersanchez1661 Jerry Rice and T. Owens were not better than randy moss... HELL NO... they were both amazing receivers but Randy Moss changed the game of football forcing defenses to play a cover 2 with the safety's over the top to try and stop him and they still couldn't do it. Rice had Montana and Young, who did Randy Moss have as a QB again...
@@darkwingduck315 Randy Moss was ahead of Owens by more than 2,000 yards receiving! Owens caught Moss in his prime, and passed him up. He also caught Moss in Touchdowns. Then Moss barely passed him back up.
@@darkwingduck315 Go look it up Moss had over a 2,000 yard gap on Owens. Owens ran Moss down like it was nothing😂
Moss 8,375 yards, and 77 touchdowns for 6 years.
Owens 6,170 yards and 59 touchdowns for 6 years. Just subtract Owens total from Moss's total, and it comes out to 2,205 yards. How does a receiver you say is the greatest blow 2,200 yards to Owens? Moss started faster T O finished stronger and was the better receiver. Moss was better at first but he couldn't hold T O off for long.
greatest wr of all time !
No
Never say never. Never say randy moss can't catch in unwinnable situations, because with him, it's always winnable
Randy Moss ruined my ability to watch WRs. I grew up watching him and assumed thats how you played the position. That you always went up and got the ball. But then I started watching other guys and I realized how rare that actually is. Most players, even big, tall, athletic guys, almost always just hope the ball drops into their hands. Even guys like Mike Evans, who is known for being a guy to throw jump balls to in the endzone, doesnt do what Moss did, which is adjust on a deep ball and go up and snatch it wherever it is.
Moss had INSANE balance proprioception (it's the body's motor awareness of itself as it's moving in space), and his hand eye coordination was 1 in a billion.
Some of the catches Moss made with one hand are RIDICULOUS. Dude is considered the SuperFreak for a reason. Funny you mentioned Mike Evans because Evans trains with Moss in Florida in the offseason and he says that Moss is STILL fast as hell, and can burn him even now (allegedly still runs low 4.3s). Darrell Green ran sub 4.4 into his 40s so it's definitely possible if you stay in shape and are genetically blessed with Olympic speed.
Moss is the GOAT. No WR is close. The only one that kinda made it a little interesting was Megatron but even he isn't Moss.
Two of my all-time favorite wide receivers Randy Moss and Jerry Rice
Dealt with him at my job, Zales at MOA. Never bought for himself, just his lived ones, never signed an autograph. Neat guy. Was present @ Vikes vs Falcons where Anderson blew it.
Randle Cunningham Legendary one of my idols as a kid!
The IQ football plays this guy made we're off the charts
You can make a highlight video on his plays against my Saints alone. Wth? Haha. This dude is unstoppable.
Dan Dierdorf comment on MNF always stays with me. He literally came on the scene and immediately you knew he was the one.
The thing about Moss was, not only could he fly and run good routes, he could catch. He didn't make stupid errors. He had great hands and he'd keep his feet in bounds on the catch. He had all the attributes of a slow really good end but he had elite elite speed. Oh, and he was 6' 4' and could jump. Yeah, it wasn't fair from my point of view.
Bill Belichick says he is one of the smartest players he's ever coached.
What do you consider "elite" speed?
@@sydboski Elite speed would be a situation where the opposing team has to be wary and make extra adjustments because of ones openfield speed. It would be relative to the position. Maybe a tightend's elite speed would not cut it for a wide receiver. In Moss's case he was pretty much faster than anybody. Scary fast. That combined with great hands and uncanny situational awareness was a mega-threat. And being 6'4" on top of that.
@@YUHJKT That's just it he wasn't pretty much faster than everybody. What if I told you that there are at least 30-40 players in NFL history that ran faster than Moss ever did.
@@sydboski Well by your math, out of the over 25,000 nfl players, 35 of them are faster. First of all, I doubt that 35 were faster. Maybe 10. And second of all, why are you wasting my time with that statement. Elite speed doesn't mean the fastest. It means that he is probably in the top 5%. Let's say 1%. 1% of 25,000 is 250 players. Are you actually saying Moss didn't have elite speed?
The best WR to ever live - miss me with the Jerry Rice responses. Give me Moss all day.
Rice over Moss in every way possible
Moss's 1 handed catches were way better than Odell's signature. Odell basically used the gloves caught it like a fishing net then was able to secure it as he fell to the ground. Look at Moss 6:38, that is like Michael Jordan palming a basketball. Odell's fingertip catch was a floater he basically just prevented from going over his head stopping it and securing it. Randy full grabbed the ball 1 handed, tucked it and stayed on his feet.
He is still the first person I chose for my playground team.
@@MrV41N I'm an old fart. Way back when, before all this fantasy fooseball we picked teams (trading cards). We also picked teams for the grade school playground games. Who is your first pickof all the players ever to play the game? Barry Sanders was my #2 but now? Lamar Jackson really is something. If he stays healthy, I may have a new #1.
Moss…… pure blooded ball player!!! THE FREAK!!!The best receiver ever!!!
When you have a verb assigned to you as in " you got Mossed " You know your one of the best ever!
STATS DON'T MATTER.
HE'S THE BEST WIDE RECEIVER EVER. PURE TALENT.
Best WR ever. If you prefer Rice’s work ethic & preciseness, I get it. Give me the freak who had it all.
had it all, except the desire to be the GOAT. Maybe becuase he was so good so fast.
Rice, in my opinion, is the greatest in terms of stats, speed, and consistency. But Moss isn't far behind, and is probably the best deep threat to ever play
And a HFer qb for 90% of his career, Jerry was just in a great situation. Moss had Brady for 3.5yrs only.
@@lukelee3But Jerry Rice was the all-time leading receiver in college history too. Was Montana or Young throwing him the ball then?
@@357twilson lol, you just made your argument worse, cause Jerry wasn't good enough to get drafted earlier and played all 4 years in college. 😅😂😅😂
12:18 not two steps but with three steps in bound, Randy Moss might be the greatest wide receiver in the history of football over Jerry Rice
Moss the Legend!!
Love me some Randy Moss
These are the guys I miss playing, it really didn't matter what team ,he was just so must fun to watch
As a Packers fan, after he torched us on MNF in his rookie year, I remember thinking as a kid, "how is ANYONE gonna stop him?"
The Majestic Mr Moss.
Real Moss fans know John Madden was his biggest fan 💯💯🙏🏾
HE IS THE GREATEST WIDE RECEIVER I have ever seen!!!!!!!!!!!!
Randy’s rookie season he was the best receiver in the league. A decade later he was still the best receiver in the league 😂 🐐
I had to show my 10 year old nephew who this man was since he's being playing Moss with his buddies had no idea it was named after an all time great. Dude defines the position.
Playing moss? What is that?
@@jamiemcdonald4279 throw a lob pass up the kid who jumps up and catches it over everyone else it wins.
🐐 he had to wait for the ball most times incredible
And he's become one hell of an analyst too!
