Randy Moss says Tyreek Hill is 'nowhere all-time' in NFL wide receiver rankings discussion
Tyreek Hill may be one of the best wide receivers in the NFL right now, but Pro Football Hall of Famer Randy Moss doesn't want to hear his name being mentioned among the all-time greats. Moss took a shot at the Miami Dolphins speedster while talking with the South Florida Sun Sentinel last week, when he said Hill doesn't deserve to be in the conversation as one of the greatest receivers to play the game. "He's nowhere all-time," Moss told the outlet. "Where is he at in today's game? Tyreek Hill is probably top five. I put him top five." While Moss hit Hill with the jab, he has no doubt in his mind where he stands in terms of the greatest to ever play the position. Moss is second all-time in receiving touchdowns (156), fourth in receiving yards (15,292), and 17th in receptions (982). Some make the argument that Moss was the greatest receiver to ever play the game. "Is that a real question?" he said when asked by the outlet where he thinks he ranks among the best ever. "Are you being political or are you being real? "Because if we're talking political, we'll say Jerry Rice. If we're talking real football, where I knock you're a-- out, it's me." Meanwhile, Hill has been one of the best receivers in the NFL for a few years now, beginning with his tenure on the Kansas City Chiefs. He was a Pro Bowler his rookie year in 2016, and that streak continued up until last season, when he didn't make it. Hill had four straight seasons with at least 1,200 receiving yards before a down year in his standards in 2024. He totaled 959 yards with six touchdowns on 81 receptions during a roller coaster 2024 campaign for the Dolphins. However, Hill led the league in receiving yards (1,799) the year prior, as well as receiving touchdowns (13). Hill's ability to use his speed and quick route-running to create separation has allowed his quarterbacks, Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes and Dolphins leader Tua Tagovailoa, to create big plays with him on the gridiron. However, Hill has some stats to get to be considered one of the greatest receivers ever from that perspective. He is currently 42nd in receiving yards (11,098), 30th in receiving touchdowns (82), and 42nd in receptions.

Randy Moss Reveals Which Wide Receiver Will Be The GOAT
Randy Moss Reveals Which Wide Receiver Will Be The GOAT originally appeared on The Spun. Randy Moss knows a thing or two when it comes to the wide receiver position. With 982 receptions, 15,292 yards and 156 career touchdowns, Moss is in pretty much everyone's top 3. But when it comes to the GOAT, the Hall of Famer believes there's a young man in Minnesota that could ultimately claim that title when it's all said and done. Advertisement In an interview with TMZ Sports, Moss had high praise for Vikings wideout Justin Jefferson who's keeping the franchise's legacy of superstar WRs alive. "I think Justin Jefferson is on pace to be arguably the greatest ever and definitely the greatest Viking to ever do it!" Moss exclaimed. "I've always been a fan of a complete football player, where you can score from anywhere on the field. And Justin brings that to the table." Jefferson is off to one of the best starts we've ever seen from a receiver in his first five seasons. But in order to catch Moss (and eventually Jerry Rice) he's going to have to keep it up for a long, long time. MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA - OCTOBER 08: Justin Jefferson #18 of the Minnesota Vikings competes against the Kansas City Chiefs in the first half at U.S. Bank Stadium on October 08, 2023 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Chiefs defeated the Vikings 27-20. (Photo by)Justin has been selected to a Pro Bowl and All-Pro team every year but one when he was limited to just 10 games and still finished with over 1,000 receiving yards five scores — better than a lot of wide receivers' full seasons.

Randy Moss looks forward to his return to ESPN
After a bout with bile duct cancer, Hall of Fame receiver Randy Moss is ready to go for the 2025 season, when he'll return to his weekly job at ESPN. 'Man, I look forward to it,' Moss told via 'I miss my crew. Greeny, Alex [Smith], Tedy [Bruschi]. But I really didn't miss Rex Ryan much because he got on my nerves. Rex, if you are hearing this, I am coming back, so scoot over. . . . [W]e have a great group of guys that I work with that I tremendously missed for two months. ESPN accepted me with open arms, man, I just can't wait for Week 1 to get back up there with the crew and talk football.' Advertisement Moss left the show in November for treatment. He had surgery in late November. He returned for ESPN's Super Bowl coverage. 'Just being able to experience that was nothing I wish on any man or any human being,' Moss. 'But for the fact that God took me through it and brought me out of it back healthy, being able to be back with my family, great support system, and some great doctors around me. Like I said, it was an emotional roller coaster, but the people I met on the way, I'm a blessed man. I'll leave it at that." It's great news for one of the all-time great players. No receiver had more talent than Randy Moss. Despite all the great receivers currently in the NFL, Randy Moss still has a magic and an aura that none since him have matched. And he's from West Virginia. Which, as a West Virginian, has been a point of pride for a long time.
