Who is Randy Moss?

Randy Moss, the eminent American football wide receiver, was capable enough to make any defense in the sports of football, wake up to a haunting dream. An incredibly athletic individual, Moss took the world of sport by storm, with a record smashing season in his first year with Marshall University. Though there were many who questioned his potential and integrity after a dry season, his stellar performance with New English patriots was the best answer he could give back to his critics. Despite switching from one team to another, his performance never witnessed as slump as he broke all records. Through his performances, he proved on more than one occasion, that he was a force to be reckoned with and that his talent was par excellence. Consequently, New York Times labeled him as "National Football League's biggest enigma”, but the fame was all very short-lived. His off-field behavior landed him in huge trouble, and he was sentenced to a sixty day imprisonment for indulging in a racial fight and for being tested positive for marijuana. Despite his failing public image, the fact that he is still admired and followed by numerous fans, is a testament to his exceptional talent.

Childhood & Early Life

Randy Moss was born in West Virginia to Maxine Moss and Randy Pratt. He attended the DuPont High School in Belle, West Virginia, where he was made the captain of the school football team. He led his team to victory and won the state AAA football title, which is the highest honor in football in West Virginia.

He also was a part of the basketball team and won the state titles in 100 meter and 200 meter dashes. By the time he completed high school, he had 109 catches, 44 touchdowns and 2,435 yards to his credit in football.

In 1995, following his graduation from high school, he was presented a scholarship to play football at the University of Notre Dame. However, before joining the college, he got involved in a racially motivated fight, for which he received a 30 day suspended jail sentence. After pleading guilty, the university revoked his scholarship.

Career

In 1996, after his jail term, he moved to Florida State though his stay there was short. He was transferred to Marshall University, where he set many records including a touchdown catch in a season, most consecutive games with a touchdown catch, most TD passes caught by a freshman and most receiving yards gained by a freshman.

His performance also helped the university team to have an undefeated season and helped them win the national title in the school's last season in Division I-AA. Though he was recognized as a player with a lot of potential, he was transferred from one team to another mainly because of his off-field squabbles and his violent mood swings.

He also played for Minnesota Vikings for their first round pick and as a rookie he set a record of 17 touchdown receptions. He was with Minnesota Vikings from 1998 to 2005.

In 2005, he moved to Oakland Raiders where his performance lacked the concentration and intensity, which created further problems for the already downtrodden franchise. People started saying that his career was spiraling downwards.

In 2007, when he was acquired by the New England Patriots, he silenced the skeptics with his brilliant performance. He had one of the best seasons in the NFL history, posting 1,493 yards and an NFL record 23 touchdown receptions.

Despite his achievements, his off-field behaviour invited plenty of controversies which included squirting a game official with a water bottle, bumping a traffic control officer with his car and so on.

On August 1, 2011, his agent, Joel Segal, announced Moss’s decision to retire from football.

In February 2012, Moss announced his decision to revoke his retirement. On March 12, 2012, He signed a one-year contract with the San Francisco 49ers on undisclosed financial terms.

Awards & Achievements

In 1998, he was bestowed with AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, an award given to the top American football rookie in the National Football League (NFL).

He was also named one of the 50 Greatest Vikings.
