When i was playing back yard ball, Moss wasn't heard of... we were into real receivers like, Rice, Brown, Largent, Swann... sht like that! Randy was great but that attitude and mouth are not conducive to what coaches are trying to present! That was Randy's burden to bare...
Marshall baby. Grew up watching this guy torch every team we ever faced. Greatest receiver of all time in my opinion. I even wore #88 growing up to pay tribute to the GOAT.
He actually threw it to McDonalds.. Haha.There’s aMcDonalds behind the stadium.. It’s marked in paint in their parking lot where the ball landed, well, it used to be marked.. I went to Marshall during that time..
Shame on my Dallas Cowboys for not drafting him after they told him they would. He made all the teams that didn't draft him regret it. I was a Randy Moss fan his entire career. He was a juggernaut.
Never had much of an interest in watching football... until I saw Randy's college highlights. From that moment on I HAD to tune in once he got drafted.... and he was absolutely worth the hype. Imagine if he would have played with New England and Brady for 7 or 8 seasons. His records would have been untouchable.
So...I remember being in junior high and week after week they'd have highlights of this Marshall team and I'd keep seeing this player with the number 88 and each time he's scoring these amazing touchdowns. He turned out to be Randy Moss.
The Freak. GOAT. This man was unstoppable. 6'4" with the hops of lebron. Ran the same streaks for years and still was blowing by all coverage. Hand eye was amazing. Moss is the goat.
Rodrick Reynolds And ppl were saying he was a route runner which I'am not denying but pro scouts knew his reputation was that of a deep threat coming into the NFL.
@@bakothegreat6986 The reputation of Moss was that of a deep threat pro scouts said that he was the SCARIEST DEEP THREAT to come along since BOB HAYES. No one talked about him being a ROUTE RUNNER while in college even in high school.
@@bakothegreat6986 I know he is considered the top deep threat of his era.That was his BREAD AND BUTTER coming into the NFL and everyone knew it. Now all of a sudden ppl are talking about his route running when the "9" ROUTE WAS HIS SPECIALTY look at all of his videos.
Thanks for posting this. I am not a fan of any team Randy ever played for and I was born in the 60's. Randy Moss is the best football player I have ever seen. EVER!!!!!! Rice can cry all he wants but it was not even close. Farve knew it too, that's why he finished his career in Minnesota. Brady knows it too.
Randy Moss changed the wr position. Before him, you still saw 5"11 wide receivers in the NFL. Even the bigger more physical receivers were barely reaching 6"2. Here comes this young guy with basketball player height at 6"5, who was just running past db's with his long strides, and going way up in the air to come down with passes. Now you rarely see receivers less than 6"3
@@dwightlove3704 ...I was just gonna say... Long before Randy Moss there was Kellen Winslow, a 6'6" 260 lb TIGHT END that was outrunning safeties. The 1st of the swift tight ends who revolutionized the position the way Magic Johnson revolutionized the PG position in basketball. Remember Air Coryell? Moss would've been a perfect fit.
@@garyaugustus1009 Do you remember TE JIMMIE GILES he was the equal of Winslow while in Tampa he could catch those laser beams from Doug Williams.Giles had the speed to run away from any linebacker of his era.
7:34 "You think of the blazing speed guys, and they're kind of smurfy. You think of the possession guys, they're a little bit bigger. They run the good routes. Think about somebody that has the entire package. The hands. The speed. The quickness. The ability to run routes. To do the things that are necessary to get it done. That's Randy Moss."
I remember sitting on a plane once back in the day..with a Montana football fan..he was blowing some smoke like, "we got our own all american wide receiver named Joe Douglass, and he's nearly as good.." I wish i could've seen his face while watching this game..underestimate much?
I have watched a lot of football in my years. I have seen many of the best receivers but this dude is on another alien 👽 level. Damm he is the best I ever seen. Rookie year in the NFL omg amazing
Imagine you're some two star CB at Western Illinois and your coaches send you out to try to cover Randy Moss on the outside. Thanks coach! I always wanted to be on a poster!
1:54 watched this play the day it happened. Couldn’t believe it then...still can’t now. After he hurdles the defender, he should get tackled because the next level defender has a great angle, but that defender ends up getting badly burned due to The Freak’s unreal acceleration
@Josh Traffanstedt T.O. Second best!? Whatt. I can’t argue with Rice being 1-2, but no way T.O. Is on the same level as Moss was. I’m a packers fan so hated Moss, but respected him. From a pure talent perspective I feel he’s gotta be #1. Stat wise, and longevity, definitely Rice.
Randy was faster, taller, and arguably had just as good hands. Talent wise, no one touches Randy. I say this as a Packers fan, who still hates watching his old NFL highlights because of how often he burnt us.
Jerry Rice is the greatest pro receiver. But with all due respect, he played against vastly inferior competition in college, and his NFL stardom was a longshot. People forget how much he struggled early on in the NFL. He had to flip the switch to become great.
@Marquis De Sade His first year in Oakland he had 1,000 yards and 8 touchdowns with garbage quarterbacks. His final year in Minnesota he had 13 td catches while dealing with hamstring issues for part of the season. The only year he had that was bad in that stretch was 06 in Oakland, so that's one "wasted" year. A 1000 yard season and a season with 13 td catches are not wasted at all.
So I had the privilege of playing high school sports against moss. Our high schools were 15 minutes apart. You should have seen him in high school! Lol his high school basketball team was him and jason Williams AKA white chocolate. Yea they were pretty good in basketball too lol
Saint Michael you send Moss and Rice out for the same ball, Moss is coming down with it 9 out of 10 times. Rice can have all the stats he wants, he ain't fucking with Randy in any way shape or form.
I was 11 years old when Moss began to light things up at Marshall. Honestly, you have to give him a lot of credit for starting the hype that would follow Marshall all through the last part of the 90's and into the early 2000's. The 1999 team could have played with/beaten anyone. I'm an alumni of Marshall and I'm pretty proud to be associated with the University that had the likes of Randy Moss, Chad Pennington, Byron Leftwich, Rakeem Cato, Ahmad Bradshaw, and a host of others who have come from that great program! Go Herd!
NFL talent in college...and the best of NFL talent...just not fair but how many scouts saw his talent? Watch his NFL highlights then go back to college to project what is and could be.
As a former wide out myself and a big-time Jerry rice fan, I can appreciate a great talent like Randy you just got mossed moss for sho you try to create a wr like moss on NCAA cfb but fail lmao
Moss has said that he wishes him and Pennington had gotten to play together at the next level because he was the best QB he ever played with.... But yea other than that, maybe you have a point 1🤦♂️
I’m off to look for Randy Moss high school highlights now cuz I gotta know what the hell it looks like to see high schoolers trying to stop this dude 😂
unbelievable talent and skills, of course. Did any other football player add his name to the language? There's video of him explaining fine points of coverages to Belichick,--he's as brilliant as he is physically gifted
He doesn't have the career tds, receptions, or yes as rice and no one ever will, but he is the most talented and feared receiver of all time that has to be undisputed! Fun to watch as I am a vikings fan!
McDonald's is legit behind the stadium and still there to this day, huntington own born and raised. Loved seeing him and pennington then he passed it to Byron Leftwich and raceem cato
Peak Randy Moss was the best at the position ever. The size, the speed, the physicality, the hands, and the way he adjusts to the ball. He completely outclassed NFL defensive backs let only MAC defensive backs. Jerry Rice was more durable, Johnson a little bigger, but Moss was everything you could imagine in a receiver.
He was supposed to go to Notre Dame but something happened. If he had stayed at Notre Dame he would have been a shoe-in for the Heisman Trophy. Lou Holtz called Bobby and told him about Randy. He went to FSU but was later let go, which I believe Bobby and Lou Holtz sorely regretted. Randy ended up at Marshall and set the college world a blaze.
The only time I ever Agree with Skip Bayless. U give me one Game or even 1 play and Im taking Randy Moss at WR. Idc that Jerry has all the Records. Imo Moss, LT, and Reggie White are the 3 Most Dominant Football Players to ever Grace a Football Field.
Which college football legend would you like to see remembered next?
Harris Highlights let’s get some von miller
Harris Highlights Barry Sanders or Tim Tebow
Peyton Manning
Peter warrick was lethal in all aspects of the game
Peyton Manning 😎
Who else remembers all of the countless times when playing backyard football and yelling “YOU GOT MOSSED”
Brandon Harrington shit we still say it in my adult flag football league
I still play Backyard football 2002, from time to time.

I have a throwback jersey of Moss from college
go herd
Kicked out of FSU for smoking weed... him and peter Warrick on the same field would have been unfair
EODguy08 Don't forget cavernous Coles and snoop
minus.. along with Peter Warwick
EODguy08 that would have been so fun to watch
Bobby Bowden is probably still crying about what could have been to this day lol
Well Moss and Chad Pennington is hardly fair either.
Dont forget dugans minnis r morgan atrews bell and anquan boldin
“He threw the ball all the way to McDonald’s!” I lost it there 😂
College Football Dojo looooooool
He actually threw it to McDonalds.. Haha.There’s aMcDonalds behind the stadium.. It’s marked in paint in their parking lot where the ball landed, well, it used to be marked.. I went to Marshall during that time..
1:56.... the move, the hurdle, the stiff arm, the acceleration.... GREATEST PLAY BY A RECEIVER.
Blows my mind
Shame on my Dallas Cowboys for not drafting him after they told him they would. He made all the teams that didn't draft him regret it. I was a Randy Moss fan his entire career. He was a juggernaut.
Screw the Cowgirls!
49ers fan, I'm glad the cowboys didn't get him. That would've tipped the balance of power. Our rivalries where epic. lol
He's just Randy being Randy.
and my bears.. devastated! I think we went with Curtis Enis or some sheet

Imagine if he would have played with New England and Brady for 7 or 8 seasons. His records would have been untouchable.
Randy Moss was the best. I watched him play at every Marshall Home game while he was there....it was UN FUCKING REAL
One of my favorite WRs all time!! College and Pros. Just an Amazing Player!!!
I dont care what anyone says IMO greatest reciever of all time
agreed
Nah, he was a beast but Jerry rice's records will never be beat
JordanDaGoat x Hands down the best wide receiver ever
@@James_Edward59 "hands down"
El Boogie337 he’s already beat some of his and he has some of his own most tds receiving and as a rookie
it had to be tough being the CB who knew they had to cover Moss after watching film on him the week before. lol
I'm so glad I got to watch him in his prime
So...I remember being in junior high and week after week they'd have highlights of this Marshall team and I'd keep seeing this player with the number 88 and each time he's scoring these amazing touchdowns. He turned out to be Randy Moss.
Dude was unstoppable
Moss and Warrick would've been that greatest duo of all time and no one else would even be anywhere close

That screen pass TD against Army was so nasty...🤭
My goodness that hurdle at 2:00 🔥🔥
The screen pass lmao. Jukes the first guy out his jock strap, hurdles the next, blazing speed to the house. Laughably gifted athlete
Lol. There wasn't a soul out there on that field that was gonna stop him!
The people listening on the radio were probably so confused lol
He's tall and can jump like a big guy but is fast and quick like a little guy. Incomparable. Unbelievable. Indescribable.
That’s why he’s The Freak.
Joshua Haynes there will be guys with the size, there will guys with the speed, there may never be another with both.
Well he also played basketball. So the hops add to it.

Scored a td in every game in college! 28 games 53 tds! The 1 game he didn't catch a td he ran one on a end around!
Randy Moss is the only WR in NFL history to ever put 17 or more tds in 3 different seasons.
He is the greatest WR to ever play.
Randy Moss, Lawrence Taylor, Deion Sanders and Jim Brown are the four most talented playwrs in NFL History
As soon as I seen Moss lined up against Griffin for Ole Miss I knew it would be a touchdown lol

nfl needs to restore all randy moss footage because it's important.
It’s crazy to think that if Randy had it his way he would have played at Notre Dame and in other life he’s doing this at Florida State
He's the greatest wife receiver to ever play the game in my opinion he's the g.o.a.t facts
I’m from Ashland my just across the river and I can remember him being a legend around the trust are area
is randy moss for real yes he is. like seeing something that can't be real but is, like a ufo.
First Rookie to come within the NFL League and was instantly the Best Player At His Position.
from one Son of Marshall to another ... well done!
1:01 the ease with which he blew by the defender 😳

He's the 1 player who made it look very easy including I believe he didn't take it seriously as he could have
I really believe QBs didn't use Moss to his full potential. Not even Brady. He was that good.
I was a 14 -15 year old fan who was luxky enough to go to wvery game. It was insane.
Sonny saying "He threw it over the McDonalds" is a quote that few will get, but thats 100 yards, easy.
The fact that the NFL has never spoken on Chad ...PENINGTON had the best WR in college
You been moss ring bells
Fun Fact: There should have been a penalty at 1:59 as it was illegal to hurdle players at the time.
Chad Pennington didn't have a huge arm was actually kinda soft but he had one of the most accurate and ball placement arms there were
