American football player who played for 14 years in the National Football
League (NFL) and was a part of the Minnesota Vikings and Oakland Raiders as
well as the New England Patriots and Tennessee Titans. Widely regarded as the
greatest wide receiver of all time, together with Jerry Rice, he holds the NFL
single-season record for touchdown receptions (23 in 2007), the NFL
single-season record for touchdown reception for rookies (17 in 1998) and is
ranked second on the NFL all-time regular season touchdown reception list, with
156. Moss was well-known for his ability to secure contestable catches, and the
term "mossed" has entered football vernacular. Following his time in
football, he started working as a studio announcer at ESPN for the Sunday NFL
Countdown program and Monday Night Countdown. Moss was born in Rand, West
Virginia native. Moss was a student at DuPont High School. This was one of two
schools that later combined to form Riverside High School. He excelled in
basketball, football and baseball. Randy was also on the school's debate team.
Moss helped lead the DuPont Panthers football team to two consecutive state
championships in 1992 and 1993. He was an excellent wide receiver, but also
played free safety as well as returned punts and kickoffs, as well as was the
team's kicker and punter. In 1994, he was honored by the Kennedy Award as the
West Virginia Football Player of the Year. Parade magazine named him to their
annual All-American high school football team in 1995 and in 2009, named him
among the 50 best football players in high school of all time.
