in the National Football League (NFL) for 14 seasons with the Minnesota
Vikings, Oakland Raiders, New England Patriots, Tennessee Titans, and the San
Francisco 49ers. The most admired wide receiver of all time along with Jerry
Rice, he holds the NFL single-season record for touchdown receptions (23 in
2007) as well as the NFL single-season touchdown reception record for rookies
(17 in 1998) and is second on the NFL all-time regular season touchdown
reception list with 156. Moss was well-known for his skill in securing catch
contests and the term "mossed" has entered the football lexicon.
Post-football, he was working with ESPN as an analyst for its studio Sunday NFL
Countdown and Monday Night Countdown programs. Moss was born at Rand, West
Virginia. Moss attended DuPont High School. This was one of the two schools
that were later merged to create Riverside High School. He excelled at football,
basketball and baseball. Randy was also a member of the school's debate team.
On the field of football, Moss led the DuPont Panthers to state championships
in back-to-back years in 1992 and 1993. He was a standout at wide receiver as
well as playing free safety, returned punts and kickoffs, and was the team's
punter and kicker. In 1994, he was honored with the Kennedy Award as the West
Virginia Football Player of the Year. Parade magazine named him to their
All-American high-school football team in 1995 and in 2009, he was named one of
the 50 best high school football players ever.
