Randy Moss- Fastest, Most Explosive WR Ever! (In Game Footage)

[@jaminteal]

To Randy Moss, You are the greatest, most talented WR ever, Period. There are many True Moss Fans like me who had the honor of watching your entire career. The pure speed, hands, and leaping ability you possessed were unmatched and may never be seen again. The media never understood you, or gave you the credit you deserve. However, you are a living legend, & can't wait till you get some vindication when you enter HOF.

[@jerrygarcia1661]

True that moss had hell of talent but gave up on plays and half assed blocks selfish player

[@cameronahmad8219]

***** Rice is probably way more successful. But when it comes to skill at the wide reciever position, no one comes close to Randy Moss.

[@joslinjos]

Cameron Ahmad

[@kokoboots003]

Cameron Ahmad look at rice highlights he made it look easy

[@depannist]

Kobe Hannible all of Randy's QB's agreed that you just had to put the ball in the vicinity and Randy was coming down with it. That's incredible WR talent and what you might call making your teammates better. I agree with most that Rice had the greatest career of any WR and I am a Rice fan. But if I could only pick one for my team, I'd pick Randy because I know every throw has a shot even with a mediocre QB. We saw what Randy did with Culpepper early in his career and we saw what he did with Brady later in his career after he was supposedly washed up. He's #2 in most stats without the supporting cast. Where would he be if he had Rice's supporting cast throughout his career?

[@bobmcbob6833]

That speed and acceleration is absolutely unparalleled. Truly a phenomenal talent.

[@Anaksi8]

Don’t forget the height, hands, and leaping ability. All Elite

[@jaredrivers9533]

He really ran 4.1s

[@ninjachannel007]

Sounds like Usain Bolt lol

[@randykapel7926]

And he never drop balls

[@americanIDOLfan11111]

They asked Dennis Green what a 4.15 looked like in person and he said ''IT WAS WHAT I THOUGHT IT WAS''

[@BlackWhiteBeast]

RIP to Dennis Green.

[@Jononutoob]

Had Moss played in Indy with Manning, New England with Brady, or somewhere like that, his stats would have been literally insane. As a Bears fan, I can say Moss was scary to watch.

[@rafaeldrake14]

Not as scary as T.O.

[@Jononutoob]

rafaeldrake14 I will assume you are joking.

[@greekosdarkness]

I will pretend that you are joking about him not playing with Brady, but Manning and Moss would fight on the sideline all the time. he was traded twice for that reason.

[@Jononutoob]

greekosdarkness Did you just say Moss and Manning played together?

[@greekosdarkness]

No I meant if he played with Manning, Moss would start fights with him. He was traded from MN and NE for that reason.

[@jakef9704]

This stuff gives me goosebumps. As a 10 year old kid in Minnesota back in 1998 during Moss' rookie year, I knew he was good... but there was just no way I could fully appreciate the magnitude of his greatness at the time. Greatest to ever play the game!

[@rjamal889]

Moss The GOAT the only WR/player to have a catch named after him, yall remember back in the day playing football outside people saying "DANG YOU JUST GIT MOSSED" Lol

[@meu2488]

You are true football fan

[@mrchambersthegreat]

Lmao hell yea all over the country still say it to this day.

[@AFIG92]

How the hell is Moss the GOAT when rice possesses virtually almost every record a WR can make...not to mention he made almost all of them impossible to catch

[@andym0rand02]

Cuz saying "you just got riced" is fucking stupid. Moss is the people's champ.

[@AFIG92]

If that's what you base it all on then you're fucken stupid

[@nawfsidehtown2927]

I' ve been a Moss fan since day 1,and still never seen anything else like this dude.

[@greenwolfegreen6028]

The sad part about Moss was that he was so good that no offensive coordinator knew how to use him correctly. Moss changed the number of players each team had. When he was on the field, his team had 11 players and the other team had only 9 or 10. If they had only changed their offensive set to a double tight end set with two backs behind the QB and Moss split to the wide side of the field, his team could never have lost a game.

[@leonardshevlin7260]

They got fond of underthrowing him which cost them TDs. There should have been very few halves that he didn't have a TD.

[@smiley7090]

that happened? 2007?

[@ct6382]

2:32 might be one of the sickest NFL routes ever ran

[@211sheem]

For suree

[@dwightlove3704]

CT But this is at 3:35 is why he was the most feared WR in the NFL

[@jakariwilson5849]

The foot work was amazing...

[@MusicthatsStrange]

moss did good with the patriots but seriously people his first 5 years in the nfl he really was untouchable I would rather have moss on my team in his prime like in this video then jerry rice just sayin

[@marcusgarvey8849]

trrruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[@bravo1224]

Being Moss' QB was the closest thing these guys experienced to playing a real-life version of Madden (the video game)...just wait until he separates and then tap the deep ball button.

[@nbt2310]

The speed - in every possible way - of 6'4 Moss was unimaginable. There will never be another.

[@cybersteady]

We likely will never see someone so dominant at the receiving position as randy moss was. 156 touchdowns in 218 games played and holding the single season record for receiving touchdowns to this day. He was built and put on this earth to play the receiver position. Arguably the greatest receiver of all time.

[@Joesfosterdogs]

THANK YOU for not clouding this with music...just the game and original play by play....THANK YOU!!!

[@INSigotem]

i had never realized how insanely fast he was until watching this...ive never seen someone accelerate like that

[@TyTimeIsAwesome]

Deon was so glad he wasn't in this game and never got to face Moss. If he had to cover Moss, I'd bet money that Moss would burn him as well.

[@TheLILWITEFITZ]

Same here dude.

[@sydboski]

Deion in his prime was faster than Moss. I have no doubt that he would have D'd Moss up like Darrell green did in Moss' rookie year and if Moss did get loose Deion would have run him down like Terence Newman did.

[@Autoravetv]

@@sydboski Deion was one of the fastest,especially in acceleration, but nobody had Moss’ open field speed. Moss had the top end speed of a 100M olympic medalist. In the open field he would have beat Deion…even if not by much. No other play has speed on film that looks this insane.

[@sydboski]

@@Autoravetv LMAO! No one is born with Olympic speed. No one. You have to have years of sprint training to get any where near that level. Moss never got that training. So there is 0% chance that he had world class speed. His best 100m recorded is 10.94. Deion did have years of sprint training and ran 10.26 100m. Deion was indeed faster than Moss. Moss was run down from 5-6 yards behind by 10.20 sprinter Terence Newman. Proving that Moss was nowhere near Olympic level speed. Newman could not make the Olympic team. Stop with the Moss had Olympic medals speed. Moss didn't even have NCAA elite speed.

[@flashfast08]

Out of all the amazing plays here, the way he ate up the corner's cushion at 2:24 is one of the greatest things I've ever seen...pure explosiveness

[@purplewolf8211]

Most exciting player I've ever seen play. Loved being a Vikings fans during those prime years.

[@Jugg3rnut]

The way he exploded through those little holes is insane. Awesome player.

[@DBollingJr]

best receiver ever

[@theguywiththemotorcycles]

Rice has the stats and rings. But if you had to choose one wr to start your team with I'd go with moss

[@TheAwesomeChickin]

rick fedorick I'm not sure about his other teams but when Moss was on the Patriots in the playoffs he'd leave Brady with a wide open receiver because he consistently drew double or triple coverage on himself.

[@Patawon]

In terms of pure athletic ability Randy ranks up there with MJ, Bo, A.I., and Deion... He was just a bit of a knucklehead... That kept him from being the greatest ever... His measurables and talent were probably pound 4 pound better than Calvin... But Rice had the edge in heart and class... on Sundays and when it counted there's never been anyone better even though he did play on some super teams... He scored a TD in the Super Bowl with the terrible raiders way past his prime even though they got murdered...

[@ninotorres51]

Jamal Wallace the raiders were not terrible they were just out classed by the number 1 defense in the league my tampa bay buccaneers the raiders were actually the number 1 offense in the league that year that tampa bay defense was just too much even for jerry rice to handle on his own period .

[@Patawon]

Rich Gannon had a nice run and with and aging Rice, Sapp, etc... They had some decent pieces around him but that team wasn't good... Simply my opinion

[@ninotorres51]

Brad Johnson wasn't some young gun himself but he knew his own team very well and they had great chemistry and that's what made the difference on their offense

[@dawjy9413]

what ppl forget is that he was an excellent route runner and had extremely sticky hands. There's been plen of fast wr with the heighy but they lack hands or route running skills. Randy was good at all of it.

[@dwightlove3704]

Yes Moss was a top flight route runner but everyone knew what his reputation was coming into the NFL THE DEEP BALL!!!

[@RedlegFan19]

Randy Moss is the best wide out ever, period. Say Jerry Rice all you want but he had Joe Montana and Steve Young, while Randy had....um...well he had a quarterback. Moss put up a record season for a wide out when he joined Tom Brady and was passed his prime. Had he played with Brady to start his career, he would of had consecutive 2000 yard seasons.

[@Slipknot5301]

weak argument

[@TubbierWombat]

He wouldn't have had consecutive 2000 yard seasons, but he would have had good stats and NE probably wouldn't have won a SB the entire time.

[@giverofzerophux9051]

how would he have had consecutive 2000 yard seasons if he never had 1 2000 yard season to begin with?

[@onebuffalo5402]

***** heres my retort. jerry rice 25k+ total yards. moss barely 18k. debate over, try again next time.

[@TubbierWombat]

***** HOF QBs Rice: Montana, Young for half of career Moss: Brady for like 3 years.

[@zstewz]

Huge props for the original broadcast footage. Awesome stuff

[@iinsulttheprophet6737]

There's Randy Moss and then there's everyone else. He had the best speed, hands and vertical to ever play the game. Montana made a good receiver (Rice) great. Moss made mediocre QBs great. Moss was responsible for the two statistically best offenses in NFL history (98 vikings and 07 Patriots)

[@EmceeNolan]

Moss was the better talent, but Joe Montana really wasn't even that good a passer. Rice tore it up when Jeff Kemp and Mike Moroski were throwing him the ball in 1986. He actually probably preferred them as they could take advantage of his lethal deep speed.

[@chrisvenaglia9692]

EmceeNolan Jerry Rice ran a 4.71 forty time meaning he was as slow as they come for a receiver.

[@kickyerass]

EmceeNolan "...but Joe Montana really wasn't even that good a passer." HAHAHAHAHA OMG!! HHAHAHAHAHA!! You are a fucking moron.

[@EmceeNolan]

No, I'm someone who has actually seen him play. Montana's entire reputation is based on being "clutch," not on his actual passing ability. He never even once threw for 4,000 yards in a season, despite having Jerry Rice half his tenure. Rice was lighting it up with Mike Moroski and Jeff Kemp at QB. Meanwhile, Montana went to Kansas City and played bus driver for a defensive football team. He is one of the most overrated athletes in history.

[@EmceeNolan]

Rice did not run a 4.71 40 time. That's complete BS. They didn't have official 40 times back then, and what a guy ran depended on the scout holding the stopwatch, but not a single scout had him at 4.71. The slowest anyone had him was in the 4.6 range. Gil Brandt had him at 4.4. Rice was explosive. There's a reason he averaged 18+ yards/catch all but one year in the 1980s (and 16.6 in the year of the exception).

[@bosnian_og]

Wow. Just wow. So beautiful to watch especially the move vs the seahawks in 03

[@offspringfan1288]

Coming from a Raiders fan, I will always value Moss' short time in Oakland. Although our franchise was in disarray, Moss stood out as a highlight and the Raider Nation loved him. He then went on to New England and I think he played in 2 Superbowls. I'd love to see him make a return to the NFL if he could find the right team.

[@mrskinszszs]

jerry has the stats, but randy was the better play maker to me. he was mesmerizing to watch; it's a shame he's gone. no disrespect to rice, btw.

[@Fringe13]

As great of a WR as rice was, he had a team. Most of Randy's career was being part of crap teams, you can be the best WR in the league ever to play but if you don't have a QB that can throw then it doesn't matter. Look what happened when he got a top tier QB to throw to him, broke records. Wish he didn't have the mouth of his though, he could have retired a patriot and probably would have helped the team out a bit to get himself a ring.

[@jesuistahmid]

Fringe13 only if brady had moss for 2-3 of moss' peak! moss would have shattered more records

[@IngemarKenyatta]

No disrespect to Rice. Moss was just better. Greatest receiver to ever play. One of the things that must be remembered is that Moss changed defenses in a way that Rice didn't. I remember when there would be situations where 4 guys would be assigned to Moss. Unheard of!!!!

[@mrskinszszs]

Ingemar Kenyatta 4 guys on moss, and he'd still cut through the coverage and make plays. incredible.

[@jesuistahmid]

***** he has a pass happy offense and a gunslinger QB. moss was in an era of star running backs! CJ is also more physically gifted (the height/weight), but most was wayyyyyyy more talented/football IQ

[@2FaceBurntOut]

you are a beast Randy Moss ive been a huge fan since i was a teen i was so happy when you joined the Patriots!love you!

[@nbagoats4819]

I think he's the greatest.

[@r1k185]

agreed

[@xXMidnightSinXx]

He can be considerd one of the best but i think he is at number 2 only because jeryy was better

[@r1k185]

xXMidnightSinXx I think you are rignt man i forgot about jerrrry

[@JoseTorres-kg9ou]

Moss was the most gifted and talented WR ever not the best. But Moss has a huge point... three players on him and still fly by everyone. Theres a reason why they call it " You Got Mossed" and theres a reason why we see so many different coverages to stop one person.

[@joshhughart289]

Jerry had better longevity. Moss was better more dangerous in his prime. His Qbs just were not as good. Jerry would be an amazing slit receiver in today's game like a Cooper Kupp. Closest comp I have for him anyway.

[@MrCeej9999]

Funniest thing is, when Randy was doing his forty times, for the Patriots, before the trade, aged 30, his time was quite a lot faster than Calvin Johnson's combine time. He ran an official 4.29 for the Patriots. Aged 30. Calvin Johnson ran an official 4.35 . Aged 21. And Calvin Johnson is a ridiculous athlete! But it shows you what a freak Randy Moss was.

[@patrickreusch6914]

Calvin speed in every manner doesn't even resemble prime Randy Moss.

[@ThaDreamMerchant]

You do realize 30 is still extremely young right? Who's to say Calvin wouldn't still run a 4.3 at 30?

[@patrickreusch6914]

The numbers don't matter, Calvin is clearly not even close to as fast or agile as Randy Moss was & has never been. He obviously isn't slow, but Moss is arguably the fastest player in the history of the game.

[@patrickreusch6914]

He is the best right, now, I would agree. I would consider his level of play over the past few years top 10 time worthy.

[@lok2428]

patrick reusch :D

[@hopelessly_g]

2:32 God, that was a beautiful route.

[@aaronmartinez5029]

This guy was unbelievable. Leaping ability, his speed, great hands, and how gifted he was.

[@gregpresley1466]

Jerry Rice is definitely the greatest wide receiver to ever play in the NFL. Anyone who says different, must be too young, or has never seen Rice play in 1980s. However, Randy Moss is a very close second place!!! Moss was a BEAST!!

[@pwk22]

It's so much fun when a rookie for your home team explodes in the league. Moss was all anyone talked about in my hometown all those years ago. We're experiencing it again, to a much lesser degree, with Kirill Kaprizov of the MN Wild.

[@swerboski]

Thank you and God bless you for not putting any shitty music in this video 👍🏻🔥

[@JAMES-wl2pd]

Randy Moss was the most feared receiver to ever play. I would take Moss as my number one receiver, Rice or Irving my number two.

[@srchnfrcj]

Christopher Mullen No disrespect to either of them, but gimme Megatron in his prime as my no. 2

[@flexiblestrategist9922]

I agree. Moss is my # 1 but Cris Carter a close second. Ross was faster but Chris had THE best hands of any receiver. He NEVER dropped anything.

[@zyxwut321]

Gives you a sense of what Usain Bolt might've looked like as a wide receiver if he was born in the US and trained in football.

[@jarelllevingston7882]

[@Solo-Skywalker]

[@seanpeacejohn889]

But how fast would bolt be with football gear on? Moss was extremely fast with pads.... Bolt was faster but I don't know about waaay faster once you include pads and actually making football plays

[@Elkviewwv]

@@Solo-Skywalker There is more to Moss than speed. Body control. excellent hands. Bolt can run in a straight line, we don't know anything else.

[@mikedineen7857]

I was lucky enough to see Randy play football in high school, college and the pros. I also saw Randy and white Chocolate play basketball in high school. I thought he could have played professional football right out of high school. He is the GOAT when it comes to wide receivers.

[@rickbruner]

Great collection of catches, angles, quotes! He SHOULD be a first ballot HOFer. Greatest pure, long-ball, catching machine in history. Yes, he had an attitude and took some plays off, but he also had some amazing, sacrifical blocks which won games. Like all geniuses, he was complicated. But he was always loved by teammates. Bill Belichick, arguably the greatest coach in history, sings his praises to this day - not only regarding his raw athletic talent, but also his mind - the way he saw the field, the player match-ups. Like all great players, he had a raw intuition about how to play the game.

[@jaminteal]

Moss made a washed up Cunningham GREAT! He made a washed up Jeff George great. He made Culpepper Great, name one thing Culpepper did without Moss? He made Tom Brady into a stat machine. Tom Brady was never a stat machine until Moss came to town. Moss made Matt Cassel into a relevant QB. Cassel has done nothing since his 1 year with Moss. Moss made some QB's careers (Culpepper and Cassel) and other QB's to break records. (Cunningham and Brady)

[@Xer0Fate]

He had a pretty good first season in KC, 27 touchdowns and only 7 pics. I know hes terrible but just saying.

[@figcrostic]

Ryan Tindle That was his second season not first, and he's done nothing since

[@moldlives]

Culpepper missed five games in 2001. Todd Bouman started three of those games and inept third-stringer Spergon Wynn two. In the three games Todd Bouman started, Randy Moss had 144 yards against Pittsburgh, 158 against Tennessee and 144 against Detroit. He topped 86 yards in only one other game all season. Todd Bouman threw for 791 yards in those three games and 1,114 the rest of his career. In 2003, Gus Frerotte played 2 1/2 games when Culpepper was injured and threw for 790 yards with a 118.1 passer rating and led the Vikings, who were 5-8 with Culpepper that year, to three straight wins. In Frerotte's two starts, Randy Moss had five touchdowns and 253 yards. Frerotte's first Minnesota start was against San Francisco, when Moss had 172 yards and three TDs. Terrell Owens had 55 yards in that game and whined afterward that if he had a quarterback like Moss, he's put up stats like Moss. Owens was playing with four-time Pro Bowler Jeff Garcia. Moss with a journeyman backup. In 2005, Moss topped 1,000 yards with Oakland, as Kerry Collins resurrected his career throwing to Moss. In 2007, Moss topped 1,000 yards with Matt Cassel. In 2006 and 2008, his only two full years with Tom Brady, Randy Moss led the NFL in touchdowns both seasons, averaging 18 touchdowns and almost 1,400 yards. Randy Moss is the greatest deep threat in the history of the NFL, yet in his long career, Cunningham, George, Bouman and Frerotte were the only ones to treat him as such and throw the ball to him deep and often. The only truly great quarterback he ever played with, Tom Brady, is a dinker-and-dunker who always threw more often to Wes Welker than to Moss even when Moss was breaking the single-season touchdown record. The biggest issue for Randy Moss has not been playing when he wants to play, but rather playing for a team that knows how to use him right. That basically stopped after his second NFL season. I don't think any great NFL player has ever been more misused than Randy Moss since the Lions would take Barry Sanders out on third down and almost never ran the greatest breakaway threat since Gale Sayers on third-and-long. I plagiarized from Matt Trowbridge, a sports editor from Chicago.

[@joe2473651]

Moss is easily one of the best ever, and I agree with most of what you said. But Tom Brady had a cool stat before Moss called 3 Super Bowls. He made Deion Branch and others a ton of money.

[@vita10gy]

Culpepper had his best year with Moss on the sidelines for most of it.

[@RubbinRobbin]

I agree, Randy Moss is a phenom. Speed demon and one hand sensation. Marshall Faulk, a hater, called him a one trick pony but he's simply clouded. What moss did was something no other receiver has ever done in terms of making a 120 yard game drastically close in. The man is a constant threat destroying cbs even in his later years which proved his talent far exceeded his athleticism. He was gods gift and when his gift is sent there are people who strive to tear him down.

Can u explain that

[@godshammer3122]

BHsoFunny Deon Sanders had "turf toe" before their supposed first matchup then played a different receiver when they did play. I remember people saying his turf toe was healed but if he waited one more week he wouldn't have to face Moss. Every defender in the league knew they couldn't compete with him.

[@BHsoFunny]

norman edwards he did. Go look it up. One handed catch for a TD

[@BHsoFunny]

norman edwards Revis got beat and faked a hamstring injury

[@eue84]

Never realized exactly how fast this guy was until now, man I wish he had a better Qb throughout his career, I think he got too much emphasis for being a deep threat, but he was so much more than that, but with a Qb like Culpepper not being accurate, but being able to heave the ball you have to do a lot of deep routes if you want to win.

[@dwightlove3704]

Point taken Trill quick question about Moss playing in the 70s vs my guy Mel Blount with the Steelers how would he have coped playing against the father of all super sized DBs 6-4 210 4.45!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mytowntrill5441]

+Dwight Love Well( scratching head).....i've only seen Mel Blount highlights( not live or even a full rewind of him and his team play) so i can only speak on Randy Moss. And what i know about Moss is that his Go-Routes were/are second to none and *ANY* cornerback would have serious trouble with him running stride-for-stride on his go-routes(9 routes) and his stop-and-go routes, sh*t probably with his post routes as well......but on the other hand( just assuming now since i know Blount's physical measurements, 40 time, and his mental approach to football) he would have his way with Moss on slants, curls, out-routes, in-routes, and run blocks since there's a 25 lbs weight difference and a much different toughness level between the two. Fun debate! Moss was great especially early in games and when his running backs were doing good( easy play action T.D.) Now did Blount have good safety help, if yes then he's probably just beat the hell outta Moss, take his mojo out early and it's a different Moss( why Chris Carter stayed in his face on the sidelines trying to keep him motivated).

[@dwightlove3704]

+Mytown Trill Yes Trill Blount had Donnie Shell but I don't know if he had the footspeed to deal with Moss.So Blount would have to have dealt with Moss by himself.

[@TryforceZelda03]

There is no one as fast as Moss at WR in 2016. A God gifted talent. He gets double coverage every time he is on the field. That tells you something. They don't make them like they use to.

[@jaizone2546]

Let's not do that because I don't like the Patriots 😀. That being said, they would've been the best QB / receiver tandem in the history of the game. He was already past his "speed" prime when he went to NE. It would've been unfair to have Brady, Moss, Belichick and early 2000's Patriots defense all on the same team!

[@josephcoleman57]

jai zone most people don't like it's fair now.. That's why they were happy when Brady was suspended for a fictitious rule infraction. No one envisioned one of their players' fate in the hands of evil Goodel.

[@jayturbo5181]

Man amongst boys. I went to Marshall, when Randy and Chad were there.. Unbelievable.. Go Herd!

[@ravenken]

I'm a Moss Fan. I remember him getting passed over in the draft and I was hollering and just spitting with disbelief. Well, he showed the world I was right! He is the ultimate Super Freak!. You know, it is more than just speed which is jaw dropping, his ability to go up has no equal in my mind in all my years from the 60's on, has an equal. I do have other favs. Biletnikoff, Warfield, Swann, Rice, and others but none of them impacted the game the way Moss did. I'm hoping the BP for Baltimore has it. He really is the closest I have ever seen to Moss. We will know this year. Just like Culpepper and others, Flacco is going to drop back and HEAVE that ball downfield and that 4.2 speed will catch it in stride. Hey Randy, if you reading this, give BP a call and talk him up. You the Man. FREAK!!!!

[@greyk610]

There is no way in hell that Jerry Rice has made even close to the technical catches Moss has. And almost ever one of his greatest catches aren't even in this video. Who gives a fuck if the guy doesn't have a SB ring. He's been to two of them and isn't going to win one BY HIM SELF. It's a team fucking sport man. Plus, the dude never used stickem. Because he doesn't need it. Best WR to ever play. I don't even know if I can put Rice in 2nd anymore because the guy used glue his entire career... I mean, who knows if he would even have a single SB ring if he didn't..? The guy is definitely one of the best ever at catch and run, but he doesn't have hands like Moss.

[@TheJasoncash83]

+Greysen Gagné You understand that the gloves Moss and just about all WRs use these days are legal stickum, right?

[@greyk610]

Jaco Cash Moss was playing FAR before gloves got so technical.. Although nah, they really arn't.. Getting close, but not stickum like. Plus, it was "illegal". Gloves that they make now are obviously legal.

[@TheJasoncash83]

+Greysen Gagné Actually Moss was playing when the gloves had sticky on them and didn't just stop the ball through physics. I'd suggest learing a little more about football in general. maybe actually test the gloves..I have

[@greyk610]

Jaco Cash Gloves were nowhere near how technical they are today then when Moss came into the league in the 90's dumbass.. Plus, it's nowhere near stickum. And stickum was also illegal. Wearing gloves isn't.

[@TheJasoncash83]

+Greysen Gagné and again, I'd suggest learning a bit more about football in general. When Moss played, the gloves were sticky...about as sticky as stickum. These days, the gloves use physics to stop the rotation of the ball and making it just stop in your hand...Like i said...learn about football...fucking douchebag

[@shadeedahmad6542]

Randy Moss is the best ever. He often had less than great quarterbacks that he transformed into better players with his superior skills. He was often under utilized, but through it all he has outstanding stats. And despite his youthful follies (which everyone has, some way), he withstood criticism, matured and is a GOD fearing and intelligent soul. Truly, Mr. Randy Moss is a success story.

[@davidchou1472]

moss is number #1......conversation ended

[@cnscm2614]

Yes you are Randy Moss . Unbelievable receiver

[@taylorsampson5434]

No receiver will ever change the game the way that Moss did. He is the greatest big play wide receiver in NFL history.

[@austinb.willis5978]

Imagine if moss had the qbs rice had his whole career.

[@patrickreusch6914]

The top speed at 0:57 is so beyond anybody else it is comical.

[@patrickreusch6914]

2:52 too. good lord

[@bio2020]

Did Moss really say that while in a 49ers uniform? hehe....... I mean, there is no question that Randy Moss is the most talented WR to ever play. But Randy got lazy on too many plays, and pretty much ruined his career with weed troubles and throwing away some seasons in Oakland..... Jerry Rice worked very hard every season, and was never lazy....

[@bayarea510]

+bio2020 Jerry Rice used Stickum. That's pretty lazy if you ask me...

[@TheJasoncash83]

+Ace and Moss used gloves with what is basically stuckum on them...

[@bayarea510]

Jaco Cash Then i guess Terrell Owens is the best of all time then huh?

[@TheJasoncash83]

One of them yes

[@cz5146]

In my opinion Jerry Rice was the greatest WR to play the game. Hard worker, loyal team player. I don't care how talented you are if you can't learn that, you're nothing. Moss doesn't hold a candle to Rice

[@jd2616]

I go back to Paul Warfield, back when he was in Cleveland, that was a long time ago, but this Randy Moss is the best I've ever seen.

[@KaliLife619]

I used to be a Packers fan because of Favre. That first game in green bay his rookie season, i knew this guy was a once in a generation type player. Truly unguardable!

[@AchillesWrath1]

His 4.25 40 yard combine speed didnt do him justice. He needs 100 yards to hit top speed.

[@treybear8174]

2:48 is not fair......westrook gave him about 7 yards cushion and he had over the top saftey help and he smoked them both.....ive never seen jerry rice do that......just sayin

[@SmittyCity15]

Sorry but Jerry career is tainted with that stickum. Randy is goat

[@LuxeprivaeMedia]

Robert Smith exactly.....Rice is a fraud.

[@seethemiddlefinger2759]

The Vikings have never replaced Randy.

[@tustaria.3520]

The crazy thing is it seems like he's not even trying while everyone else is huffing and puffing. Unreal athlete

[@randyholliday4641]

Randy Moss had mostly average QB's passing him the ball Jerry Rice had Joe Montana

[@alexc4075]

Brady and Cunningham are average?

[@dobbins2550]

Nope, not even close. Jerry Rice: 22,895 yards receiving Randy Moss: 15,292 Jerry Rice TD: 197 Randy Moss: 156

[@MrSPIDEY21]

dobbins2550 Jerry rice also played like 1000 more seasons...look at the averages...if I played 20 years I better have that many yards...that's like sayin emmit smith is better than Barry

[@357twilson]

dobbins2550 also played with 2 hall of fame QBs and hall of fame coach.

[@frame3139]

dobbins2550 Rice had Montana and Young, Moss had Cunningham, Cullpepper, George, Johnson, Smith, Brady ( barely ) and Matt fucking Cassel. Give Rice that, for the most part, pile of dog shit, and his numbers will be well below Moss......... please defend against that truth

[@megatron6579]

Btw Jerry rice is a cheater he admitted that he used stickum which makes it easier to catch the ball

[@imranbokhari839]

rice was single covered .. He had about the same talent as Bruce,Hotz and Harrison. Played on a loaded team where teams couldn't scheme for him. Played with one of the best offensive lines, Roger Craig, Rathmon, Brent Jones , john Taylor and Bill Walsh. had atop 3 defense almost every year he played, which got him way more offensive possessions also had Montana who had won a super bowl before he even got there. Guys like Sharpe, Lofton were better in their prime.. Did you see 2 db's line up at the line of scrimmage a line backer dropping back and safety try to stop him like Moss. Nope ! If Rice wasn't on the 49ers he would of just been another very good Wr. DB's were allowed cheat against Moss because the NFL and the Media hated him. on the other hand Rice got all the calls and the Media Loved him because he was a Sparkly Eyed HOMO !

[@stanleyarcher3463]

imran bokhari Your an idiot that knows Nothing about football. Any defensive coordinator that single covered that greatest touchdown maker that ever played would be fired immediately. Take a look at Rice's TD totals before you make such stupid remarks. RICE IS GOAT PERIOD

[@i-pupindustry6607]

No one has ever seen 2 db's on Moss at the line because it never happened, you Stooge. There is no such formation. You are being confused by the term double covered, which is a zone defense. Meaning that the db has help over the top from a Safety or that a LB was supposed to help over the middle. Your knowledge of footbal, or rather lack of knowledge, shows your post has no basis in fact what so ever. One day Moss fans will get tired of whining about, IF, IF, IF. Nothing will change the fact that Rice is so far ahead of Moss in every phase of the game that he will NEVER be considered #1. Rice= Greatest of All Time.

[@johndailey2323]

Rice was not single covered for most of his career if you actually watch his games

[@ThePowerslave1989]

As a Jets fan, the one handed touchdown catch over Revis needs to be a part of this video.

[@manubains3886]

Still whenever I watch randy moss highlights it gives me goosebumps

[@resolve06]

Steve Smith (CAR) does this and he is 5' 10"

[@ScubaSteve-dg5vy]

You are fucking dumb.

[@resolve06]

ScubaSteve1399 another stupid statement but nothing to back it up. Stfu

[@mlb5656]

That's a great point. I guess you can say pound for pound he's one of the best receivers, but if you don't have the numbers you don't have the numbers. It's like allen Iverson. I don't think I've ever seen such an amazing player in my life and if he was 6'6 he might have been the best ever. But you can't call him the best ever.

[@mortgagenchil]

Mark Newman he's 5'8 bruh

[@resolve06]

freddur that's makes him better

[@Kollin011]

Most of these plays in the video were against zone defenses. How effective was he against Man def? Was there any corner who could mark him? Was there any safety who could handle him in zone d?

[@leowrlboss1879]

Its impossible to cover a young randy moss man to man...impossible

[@Kollin011]

Fabian Wiltshire HaHaHa!

[@nickmhc]

Kollin011 there weren't a lot of corners who could handle him Man D. Did you see the Charles Woodson catch in the Raiders highlight in this video? Rewind and watch. Charles Woodson the guy who won Defensive Player of the Year with the Packers. One of the five best corners of his era (Champ Bailey, then a toss-up between him and Ty Law). That was man coverage. And the book on Moss was if you jam him he'd quit. But Woodson was as physical as any corner of his era (along with Ty Law and, at a lower skill level, Quintin Jammer). Moss pwn'd him

[@Kollin011]

Nicholas Cummings Didn't even realize that was Woodson; say no more. sheesh he made these corners look lazy or inexperienced.

[@nickmhc]

Kollin011 Woodson was no slouch, but the mistake that corners made early in Moss' career were the same as guys guarding Rajon Rondo in the NBA. Giving him space to get going and sitting on your heels is the worst thing you could do. Had to get up into him to have a chance. Corner is one of the hardest positions in the league, your point about defenses not being that great is valid but not Moss's fault. And the video's right in that he changed NFL defenses and the way safeties play over the top to prevent the big play. He changed the playing field literally, forcing WLBs and FS's to shade his side and push back an extra 1-5 yards. the All-22 shots of defenses versus Moss were comical, safeties 18-25 yards back (all that room for posts, seam routes to TEs as offenses evolved. He wasn't Rice, he couldn't run the whole route tree but he changed the game in different ways

[@MobUniverstyEnt]

Best route runner and hands = Rice Best Deep ball and jump ball catcher = Moss Best All Around = Terrell Owens thank you and good night....

[@KPDAKINGPEN]

Acceptable

[@kaylaphillips225]

Best hands is Chris Carter.

[@im2technical163]

Kayla Phillips Chris Carter best hands I have ever witnessed...

[@mauricewilson7116]

Unfortunately, Owens' ego hampered him from being the greatest of all time IMO.

[@mauricewilson7116]

Unfortunately, Owens' ego hampered him from being the greatest of all time IMO.

[@KTF0]

Funny seeing safeties running full speed, knowing Randy is running a go route, then he catches it and still passes them by.

[@thielees]

Greatest set of gifts (and work ethic) that any wide receiver could ever hope for. I'm glad I was around to see him play. His biggest flaw was letting criticism get under his skin.

[@bendyman_72]

Randy was the most talented athlete at the WR position. However, to be the GOAT requires other skills. Never say die attitude, commitment to excellence, humility, willingness to sacrifice for your teammates in order that the team succeeds. These are the skills Randy could not display every day. Randy took games off, sat out plays on the sideline and refused to play with Tom Brady because he wanted more money, and was eventually kicked out of New England. Jerry Rice is the GOAT because he showed what you can achieve if you work the hardest, sacrifice for the team, play every down like it was your last, even when you are not the fastest, the tallest, the one that can jump the highest etc.

[@kickyerass]

Lots of what you said is spot on. BUT.. you are a moron about what transpired in NE!!! Belichick punished him for being late to practice in a blizzard - just as he did ALL 7(?) guys who were late that day. Well Randy had to be a prima dona about it. Kinda saying; "Do you know who I am?" And Bill doesn't allow that crap with ANYONE. It's why he is so successful. It's about THE TEAM. Anyway, Bill stuck to his guns as Randy festered and stewed and made it worse. And once again; just as in Oakland, Randy sat sulking on the bench when he wasn't being effective - because he was playing VERY lazily. He not only didn't run hard, but he wasn't even trying to defend passes that he let get out in front of him.. or that he 'over-shot'. The more this went on, the more bill benched him. Then Randy tried to make it about his contract; being re-signed, and with a big payday and all. .. Of course any NE fan also noticed that after it was too late, Moss was BEGGING Bill to take him back as he pretty much admitted it was all his fault. He kept saying NE is Heaven, Bill is the best coach ever. And TomEffinBrady is the best QB in the history of football. And we all sighed; what could have been if he hadn't gone all freako on us. .. And I agree with you; he COULD HAVE BEEN the greatest by a million miles IF he had put in half the effort that Rice did.

[@bendyman_72]

kickyerass thanks for that kickyerass. I wasn't sure of the ins and outs of the exact reason why Randy made a mess of it at NE, but it was widely known that Randy did make a mess of it in NE, despite the Giants snatching his ring off his finger from the Super Bowl altar.

[@bigshawnfinessin3712]

Jerry Rice - GOAT PERIOD!

[@Biglefrank]

He's a great receiver, a hall of famer but if thinks he's better than Rice he's smoking crack

[@NYJGreatness]

Nah, you’re smoking crack.

[@influentia1patterns]

I remember The Dolphins triple covering him when he was a Vikings, and they had a very talented CB there. Culpepper threw it anyways and I thought he was insane for doing so... Then Moss caught it anyways. My head exploded, and I had to pick up my brain and put it back together.

[@warehousedave7937]

One thing I have in common with Randy Moss is that I too believe that Randy Moss is the greatest receiver to ever play football.

[@stockjonebills]

If he had more class in his career he could top or equal Jerry Rice, but in my opinion Rice is the greater WR.

[@mauricedavis1740]

class doesn’t really have anything to do with how good you are as a player. Yeah it’s a nice thing to have but it doesn’t make you a better wide receiver, that was a stupid comment..

[@PrimeHDable]

Jerry rice was more athletic and could kill anyone on the slants. Randy Moss was fast, could kill any safety or cornerback on the deep pass. But I am going to be honest. People are saying Calvin Johnson is the WR ever. Not until the end of his career he isn't. You still have Steve Largent, Cris Carter, and many more receivers better than him. It just kills me when they say Calvin is the best WR of all time.

[@HeRoiiNgSuS]

LOL Rice was never triple covered...EVER! Moss would have entire defenses shaded to his side of the field and he would still torch them. Straight Cash Homie! UMad you old time football geezers. Rice was lucky to have found a passing offense QB'd by one of the, if not THE, greatest QB ever and then QB's by the QB with the highest QB rating ever in history all in an offensive scheme that took over the NFL with no real defensive counter. Moss just came in a fucking dominated from day one with garbage ass QB's who were either to old or to trash.

[@AFIG92]

Rice had to go up against legendary corners like Deion, and smoked him...the YAC stat was made specifically for rice...and yes he was actually triple covered many times...don't be a moss fan boy, rice is GOAT

[@HeRoiiNgSuS]

A. Figueroa Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha....hold on....hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahhaahahahaha Rice was rarely if ever triple covered and corners? Moss versus Champ Bailey, Aeneas Williams, Rod Woodson, Chris McAllister, Nnamdi Asomugha, Ty Law, Charles Woodson, Troy Vincent, Darrell Revis have all been torched by the one and only. BTW 49ers never beat the Cowboys scrub. Hahahahahahahahahgahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahaha Comparing 80's corners to todays? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahhaahhahahahahahahaahhaahhaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahajaahhaahhahahahahahahahahaha

[@Changa924]

MaRS vS Corners could be WAY more physical in the 80s than they can today. Jerry Rice would get 2,000 yards and 20 touchdowns a season easy if he played today in the softest era in nfl history.

[@AFIG92]

If you ever paid attention back then football was actually physical...comparing the early 2000 to the 80's physically wise man you must be high you idiot....it's just clear as daylight that you've never seen rice play, ever....FUCKEN fan boy

[@jaminteal]

A. Figueroa Rice is great don't get me wrong, he holds every major WR record for a reason. However, Moss does not get his due, especially from the media, which is why so many people have no idea how good Moss truly was. I would argue that Moss SHOULD be in the conversation with Rice. Moss' speed, hands, leaping were superior to Rice. Rice played in an era where defenses were geared toward stopping the run and did not play deep cover 2 or other zone defenses geared to stop the deep ball as often as they do now. Moss could definitely play against physical corners. There is a video on youtube documenting that actually. Fact of the matter is Moss could burn anyone deep if covered 1 on 1, which is what most the coverages were in the 80's. If moss played in Rice's era with those defenses, Rice's team and QB, I would argue that Moss would have better stats than Rice did with the 49ers. Moss would burn defenses deep so many times it would be like backyard football.

[@TheJoker-hw9ib]

Watching him in his prime you knew that every game he was gonna pull one in deep. It was just a matter of time before you see a deep bomb and you knew he was catching it for the TD. Every Vikings game you'd watch the whole game just waiting for it cause you knew it was coming.
