Honestly, love how knowledgeable he is in football, most just stick to one sport, or maybe two. Glad he’s done his homework, makes the vids waaaay better
Dude, thank you for doing a Moss video! I grew up with Moss as my football hero. Glad you enjoyed watching his skills here as much as I did. Cheers man!
I went to Marshall University when Randy and Chad played.. We usually didn’t stay past half time as the score was very lop-sided.. But I was always amazed by Randy.. Once Marshall got in the red-zone, they always threw a fade route to the corner for Moss.. The other team knew it was coming, the fans knew it was coming, but nobody could stop it.. It was beautiful..
My kiwi brother doing it again!! Glad to see you back I’ve been waiting! Watch the 30 for 30 on Randy Moss it’s good stuff. Killing the content keep it coming Cheers!!
Great vid! Randy Moss was a boss. I had a Moss jersey as a kid. He was probably the most talented receiver ever. You should do Fitz next in the receiver category. Fitz or Chris Carter.
GOAT. Jerry Rice was the best of his era and did it forever (shattering every record along the way) so he deserves every accolade he gets, but nobody could do it like Moss.
@@forreal2398 I'lll never take anything away from Cris Carter. The man was a beast with around 80 TDs and around 14,000 receiving yards. AND he did make a heck of a lot of miraculous catches. Precise route running makes good NFL receivers great NFL receivers in my opinion.
He is from rann WV he went to Dunbar high school had a slot of adversity in college but finally settled down and went to Marshall University aka the thundering herd he play with Chad Pennington as QB and let's just say he made it look easy . He is a great guy and his mom is awesome .his mother came to my grandmother's house before my grandmother passed at randy Moss's peak in the NFL . Great people
Randy Moss is the best pure talent at WR ever. Jerry Rice was the better player because of more consistent effort, and his combination of above-average athleticism and unsurpassed technical skills. Couldn't go wrong with either, though.
@@wittynclever Kinda hard to come up with concrete facts to prove anything this subjective. Stats are misleading because rules have changed, but having watched all three play, I'd say Moss for sheer talent, Megatron for measurables, but I'd want Rice over both of them because of the intangibles and everything else he brought to the table. Megatron is a freak, for sure, and it's definitely a valid argument, but for my money, it's Rice, Moss, Megatron in that order.
I watched him from the first time he played "bitty" ball till he retired. Those kids when he was in highschool playing ball actually practiced all those laterals, flips, and "Sandler" plays...it was crazy. He's always done that stuff.
How big your eyes got when you saw him going to the Patriots, paired up with Tom Brady, lol. Could tell you were thinking, omg... that's an unstoppable combination! :)
I grew up a Seahawks fan all my life. As a kid, I loved the seahawks, and I had a ton of NFL jerseys, including a Randy Moss Vikings Jersey. These days you'll never see me wear a Jersey that's not a Seahawks or Mariners Jersey, but Randy Moss was one of my all time favorite players to watch, even as a kid.
This video is 4 years old, so I doubt you'll see this, but the last TD shown for the Patriots... He did that against Darrelle Revis, the best cover man in the league, and if you see the complete replay, he puts his hand up, in the universal "I'm open" sign, seconds into the play, Technically, Revis wasn't beat yet, but Moss was so certain he has him beat already, the one handed catch was just gravy. If anyone else, put their hand up that early, I'd be tempted to call it disrespect, but from Randy it was confidence. Randy is from Rand, West Virginia. Future NBA All Star< Jason "White Chocolate" Williams was on the basketball team with Randy. Randy was Mr. Basketball in the state of West Virginia. That team had a future NBA player on it, and he wasn't the best player on the team.
Love watching your vids because sense you weren’t an original American football fan you have no bias on any player. It’s just a pure cut reaction of something you never seen, keep it up.
Hey man, stumbled across your videos and I love em, helps me kill lots of time at work so thanks for that. Also just wanted to point out that I think you misread a stat line in this highlight video when Mr. Moss was playing against the Cowboys. That was 3 receptions, 3 touchdowns 163 yards, which is absurd. Would have been 4 receptions for 4 touchdowns and a little over 200 yards, but they called pass interference on one of the plays on the defense. G.O.A.T. Thanks man, keep up the good work.
Someone has probably already let you know, Randy was just elected into the Pro-football Hall of Fame this past year. Along with Urlacher, Dawson, Ray Lewis and Terrell Owens.
Randy is the best WR of all time hands down come on Jerry Rice had Joe Montana his whole career Randy had 20 different QBs throw him a TD it's a pure eye test this dude is the GOAT
@@whodat879 yeah for what 2 or 3 season while jerry had joe for 15 man you see what randy did with tom for that long imagine him having him for 15 seasons
@@whodat879 He set the touchdown record with Brady while he was already out of his prime LMAO. Imagine what his career stats would have been had he been playing with a HOF QB during his Vikings years. He single-handily made Culpepper look like a passable NFL QB.
Randy Moss on the Madden games was just the same; all you had to throw it to him and he would catch it no matter how he was covered. He was like a human cheat code
Randy was from Rand, West Virginia. A wide spot on the road just outside of Charleston. College ball at Marshal University. Heisman candidate, super receiver. Just throw the ball near him and he would catch it. EPIC football player. Hope you liked this video. Take care......
Minnesotan here - watching him was incredible. The reason you always see two people around him is because teams ran a special defense against him. Every team in the league would put the safety (one of the two players on defense who are in the way back) over the top. His only job was to run deep to cover Moss going past everyone. The Vikings routinely ran one play - "Moss Go and Get It", which involved Moss running as fast as he could and the QB throwing it as far as he could. Moss was famous for completely changing the way defenses lined up. He was part of 2 record breaking offenses, and there's a reason. That top safety was effectively removed from the game. That meant offenses were playing 11 vs 10 basically any time Moss was on the field. His talent was absolutely insane. He also has the greatest fan interaction of all time. Some guys were asking him about a $10,000 fine he got for shaking his ass at fans. I'll paraphrase: "Did you write them the checks yet?" - When you're rich, you don't write checks. "How do you pay them then?" - Straight cash homey. (this became a meme) "Are you bothered by the 10k fine?" - No because it aint shit. Aint nothing but 10 grand. What's 10 grand to me? Next time I'll shake my dick at them. Moss is almost undoubtedly the #2 receiver of all time. Some people would say he's the best.
These clips only showed Moss going deep, but there are so many of Moss tearing it up on dig routes, out routes, drag routes, posts, and screens. The dude could do anything and everything at an elite level. If he had Montana, Young, and Gannon, he would be known as the greatest ever instead of Rice. #UndercoverGOAT
Randall Cunningham was the Quarterback for most of Mosses great Vikings games. It really was a combination of the two. Between the two of them they racked-up the most amount of points in a single season EVER (it still holds as far as I know). Randall was a over the hill quarterback that was on his way out, and Moss was a rookie on his way in. They somehow complimented each other like Montana and Rice. When you are watching the Vikings highlights don't forget to watch how those balls were just LACED in to his hands. Weird angles and very tight timings. I watched all the Vikings games games with these two live (well at least on TV back in the day). But yeah it was mind blowing to watch. A new level was created.
Randy Moss is my favorite athlete of all time, and my personal pick for greatest receiver of all time. Jerry Rice was undoubtedly the most SUCCESSFUL wide receiver of all time, and his hard work and technique are unmatched, but he also had Joe Montana and Steve Young throwing to him for his whole career. Randy Moss made journeyman QBs into Pro Bowlers and nobodies into starters. When he had Tom Brady throwing to him, he set records. To me, him or Rice are the only possible candidates for greatest of all time. Honestly, there were times when it didn't seem fair that he was in the NFL - like he belonged in some hypothetical future football league from space or something. You could not cover him with just one guy, or even two. When Randy Moss was on your team, the defense had to focus and prepare for him above all else. Even if you had another Hall of Fame wideout on your team like Cris Carter or Wes Welker, that team knew they had to shift their coverage heavily toward Moss, because coverage that would be enough to stop most receivers couldn't stop him - he was open even when he was covered. That fear alone was enough to make him dangerous. He was the centerpiece of the two best offenses I've ever seen, the 2007 Patriots and the 1998 Vikings. Only the greatest play in Super Bowl history and the Vikings' cursed franchise history, respectively, kept him from a ring. He's also a guy who came from nothing - hillbilly country in rural West Virginia - and took a bunch of shit throughout his career about his character, almost none of which was deserved. Dude smoked some weed and was a black man who knew how good he was, and the media never forgave him for either of those things. The Vikings have broken my heart a number of times, but they've only made me truly ANGRY once, and that was when they let our aggressively mediocre sportswriters run Moss out of town in 2005 and traded him for a can of baked beans and the 1st rounder they used to draft Troy Williamson, a wide receiver who could not catch. I honestly don't think any football game I ever see for the rest of my life will be as fun for me as his Thanksgiving game against the Cowboys in 1998 was. To me, Randy Moss represents everything that's fun about sports.
At 7:39 it was Randy Moss that had the insane awareness to lateral it back to another receiver for a TD. He had height, great hands, speed, and amazing awareness. Pretty much everything you want in a receiver.
Its been said already but ill say it again, Chris Carter (best hands in the NFL IMO) had the 1 hander perfected, and taught it to his young teammate Randy Moss who showcased it well.
When Moss got drafted, he was so pissed that Dallas didn’t select him. So, when Minnesota played Dallas on Thursday night football for Thanksgiving that year, he lit those Cowboys up!!!!!!! And I loved every minute it!!
I’m sure this has already been answered but there’s a difference between passing, receiving, and rushing touchdowns. Moss still has the single season record for receiving touchdowns. LT still has 31 rushing touchdowns
The play where Moss caught it and tossed it back to Moe Williams was actually a play they practiced in practices specifically for end of half/end of game scenarios. I was there... at that game!
People talk about his speed, his hands, his route running, and rightly so, but Moss had an ability to adjust his positioning at the last second to make the catch that is unparalleled.
Moss is the only guy in the last 30 years who was open on every play, even when he wasn't open, he was open. A true nightmare for the greatest DBs the NFL had to offer.
Randy as a player made several defensive coaches have sleepless nights. He had great hands, world class speed, and great moves. His teammate Chris Carter was a darn good receiver too. Good enough that he is in the NFL Hall of Fame.. According to Google Randy had 156 touchdowns during his NFL career combined with 15,292 yards. Randy is/was an unstoppable athlete. A real STUD. You may want to locate and watch Paul Warfield -- Top 100. He was amazingly good. NFL Hall of Fame good! Check him out.
NBA star Jason "White Chocolate" Williams was a highschool basketball teammate of Moss. Long after Williams retired he was asked in an interview who were some of the best players he's shared the court with. On his list was Randy Moss even though they hadnt played together since highschool. Williams said that Moss could have played any sport professionally and, whichever one he chose, he would have been a Hall of Famer.
Glad you got around to reacting to Moss. My favorite football player. You should check out Chris Carter(greatest hands of all time imo) and Adrian Peterson(he was just a monster) when you get the chance
Chris Carter taught Randy Moss to do the one hand catch drills. Chris played with Randy in Minnesota and mentored him as a rookie. Chris is a Hover too, with a bunch of ridiculous number of 1 handers.
Playing football 🏈 in highschool we would always call someone moss if they had amazing catch ability, getting the title of moss was an amazing achievement that all wide receivers strived for
That pass over his back as he was being tackled was epic. As I was watching the video I was saying to myself I hope they show that one. I had no idea he was that tall.
Chris Carter who played with Moss during Moss's 1st three seasons was known for making one handed catches a lot of times with his toes in bounds and his arm and hand stretched out over the sideline and making the catch one handed. Moss made it more often and made it look easy.
O'dell Beckham wears Randy Moss pyjamas. edit - imo Randys best catch was one you watched at the 14:19 mark. That one handed catch vs the Colts was on 3rd and 10 down 1 score coming off the Patriots 10 yard line. It perfectly summed up 'Throw it to Randy and let him go and get it.' Phenomenal.
Randy Moss played college ball at my hometown school, Marshall University. He was a man among boys and we all knew he'd go far. Having seen Jerry Rice's career I am convinced Moss is much more explosive and dangerous WR, despite Rice's statistics. Rice played 20 yrs in the NFL compared to 14 for Moss. If Moss had played 6 more years his stats would be practically untouchable.
his journey before the nfl was crazy. grew up in a bad neighborhood, was heavily recruited out of hs but lost all of his offers because of legal trouble and even went to jail for a bit. was rediscovered by marshall university who was in the lower section of D1 football and absolutely tore it up there before being drafted by the vikings and the rest is history!
Actually, Marshall was still a Division II football program when Moss transferred there in 1996. That was the year the team went undefeated and won the D-II National Championship. 1997 was when Marshall moved up to Division I in all sports and joined the MAC conference. If Moss had went to another Division I school after being dismissed by Florida State in 1996 he would have lost another year of eligibility. He had already missed playing his 1995 season with the 'Noles because he was required to redshirt, the NCAA saw him as a transfer student from Notre Dame (he signed a letter of intent).
He is from Rand West Virginia ,He played football at Dupont High school , I watched him play from high school through college and the pros , he was always great to watch play .
As far as I can remember the first guy to really make the One hander a staple of his game, was Moss’s teammate and mentor, Chris Carter. That man might have had the best hands of all time.
Getting "Mossed" was a saying we used all the time growing up playing pick-up football
Lol right , when you jump up catch over guys and yea sta mossed you
Hell yeah! I remember that!
Still a saying today. Randy had the hands of a flytrap. GOAT!
We still doin it
"You got Mossed" in football, and "Kobe!" when you shot in basketball.
Cris Carter was the first to be famous for regularly catching one-handed. He was teammates with the rookie Randy Moss in Minnesota!
Where do you think he learned it 🤣
Randy first to do the one handed catch that wasn't doing coke. Give it up to Cris getting that good sugar
Randy Moss my fav WR of all time

5:48 imitating "keep your eyes glued to the tv". That sounded hilarious.
People talk about his speed, his hands, his route running, and rightly so, but Moss had an ability to adjust his positioning at the last second to make the catch that is unparalleled.
Moss is the only guy in the last 30 years who was open on every play, even when he wasn't open, he was open. A true nightmare for the greatest DBs the NFL had to offer.
Brotha, I love me some All Blacks but I love that you love American Football. thank you for reminding me why I love my game.
Montana-Rice and Brady- Moss are the two best WB -WR combos of all time
Randy Moss was probably the king of fly up on the playground haha
Greatest receiver in NFL history as far as I'm concerned. Uncoverable
Good video keep it up man
Your facial expressions watching Moss was PRICELESS. LMFAO!!!!!!!!
He played high school basketball with Jason Williams A.K.A. white chocolate, flashiest point guard ever.
IMO, an argument can certainly be made for either, along with a few others, but i'll take jason at point on the all flash team.
Randy Moss was INCREDIBLE. He changed the NFL...and he could have been even better but pissed it away
Randy as a player made several defensive coaches have sleepless nights. He had great hands, world class speed, and great moves. His teammate Chris Carter was a darn good receiver too. Good enough that he is in the NFL Hall of Fame.. According to Google Randy had 156 touchdowns during his NFL career combined with 15,292 yards. Randy is/was an unstoppable athlete. A real STUD.
You may want to locate and watch Paul Warfield -- Top 100. He was amazingly good. NFL Hall of Fame good! Check him out.
NBA star Jason "White Chocolate" Williams was a highschool basketball teammate of Moss. Long after Williams retired he was asked in an interview who were some of the best players he's shared the court with. On his list was Randy Moss even though they hadnt played together since highschool. Williams said that Moss could have played any sport professionally and, whichever one he chose, he would have been a Hall of Famer.
Lynn swan was the one who Deffinatly paved the way for randy moss style of play. Lynn swan was a beast in the air
He even has his own segment before NFL games called, you guessed it, “You Got Mossed”
Oh the nostalgia of watching this machine do what he does. I miss watching randy
You should do Joe Montana, Dan Marino, and Jerry Rice. All three Hall of Fame members.
Glad you got around to reacting to Moss. My favorite football player. You should check out Chris Carter(greatest hands of all time imo) and Adrian Peterson(he was just a monster) when you get the chance
Chris Carter taught Randy Moss to do the one hand catch drills. Chris played with Randy in Minnesota and mentored him as a rookie. Chris is a Hover too, with a bunch of ridiculous number of 1 handers.
Playing football 🏈 in highschool we would always call someone moss if they had amazing catch ability, getting the title of moss was an amazing achievement that all wide receivers strived for
That pass over his back as he was being tackled was epic. As I was watching the video I was saying to myself I hope they show that one.
I had no idea he was that tall.
Here before 100M Subs
Cool
Moss slips those defenders like he’s just *drilling* like he’s just at another practice
Chris Carter who played with Moss during Moss's 1st three seasons was known for making one handed catches a lot of times with his toes in bounds and his arm and hand stretched out over the sideline and making the catch one handed. Moss made it more often and made it look easy.
The All or Nothing about the All Blacks brought me here indirectly. This is fun! I like it.
I was a receiver in high school and also wore #84. Teammates called my Randy Moose.
Best one hand receiver of all time is Chris Carter (Randy Moss's mentor in Minnesota).
If you haven’t done T.O, Terrell Owens you need too. And chad Johnson (Ochocinco).
Bart S TO definitely second that.
O'dell Beckham wears Randy Moss pyjamas. edit - imo Randys best catch was one you watched at the 14:19 mark. That one handed catch vs the Colts was on 3rd and 10 down 1 score coming off the Patriots 10 yard line. It perfectly summed up 'Throw it to Randy and let him go and get it.' Phenomenal.
Randy Moss played college ball at my hometown school, Marshall University. He was a man among boys and we all knew he'd go far. Having seen Jerry Rice's career I am convinced Moss is much more explosive and dangerous WR, despite Rice's statistics. Rice played 20 yrs in the NFL compared to 14 for Moss. If Moss had played 6 more years his stats would be practically untouchable.
Cris Carter...his teammate and mentor
9:09 That moment when you realize the Patriots had Tom Brady and Randy Moss on the same team at one point
Haha
his journey before the nfl was crazy. grew up in a bad neighborhood, was heavily recruited out of hs but lost all of his offers because of legal trouble and even went to jail for a bit. was rediscovered by marshall university who was in the lower section of D1 football and absolutely tore it up there before being drafted by the vikings and the rest is history!
Actually, Marshall was still a Division II football program when Moss transferred there in 1996. That was the year the team went undefeated and won the D-II National Championship. 1997 was when Marshall moved up to Division I in all sports and joined the MAC conference. If Moss had went to another Division I school after being dismissed by Florida State in 1996 he would have lost another year of eligibility. He had already missed playing his 1995 season with the 'Noles because he was required to redshirt, the NCAA saw him as a transfer student from Notre Dame (he signed a letter of intent).
He is from Rand West Virginia ,He played football at Dupont High school , I watched him play from high school through college and the pros , he was always great to watch play .
I was 14 and had season tickets for his rookie season and on. Super fun years! Straight cash homie.
As far as I can remember the first guy to really make the One hander a staple of his game, was Moss’s teammate and mentor, Chris Carter. That man might have had the best hands of all time.
Randy from West Virginia. The Vikings lateral was the last play of the half.
