Randy Moss' Son Reacts After Going Unsigned at Vikings Tryout
Randy Moss' Son Reacts After Going Unsigned at Vikings Tryout originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
For Montigo Moss to follow in his father's footsteps, it's going to be an uphill battle.
The son of Randy Moss, Montigo caught 61 passes for 722 yards and 7 touchdowns as a senior at Maine in 2024 but went undrafted in April.

He received an invitation for Minnesota Vikings rookie minicamps in May, joining six undrafted rookie wide receivers and third-round pick Tai Felton.
As a tryout, Montigo was among just two receivers without a contract at rookie minicamps, meaning he would have to put on a performance that would warrant cutting another player to receive a contract and join the team this offseason.
Moss did not receive an offer after his visit, but he did share some thoughts about the experience that he hopes will propel his career forward.
'Being around athletes who dedicate every ounce of energy to perfect their craft opened my eyes, " Montigo told VikingsNewsSkol on June 10. "Watching their focus during drills and their intensity in every rep showed me that talent alone isn't enough.

'I'm extremely thankful to have been given the opportunity to witness that environment firsthand and to showcase my skillset in hopes of continuing my career with this talented community,' he added.
At 6-foot-1, 220 pounds, Montigo doesn't have the same frame that made his father a nightmare for opposing defenses. Montigo said he ran a 4.6-second 40-yard dash coming out of high school, which is on the slower end for NFL receivers.
However, he has a polished route tree and could be a bully as a run-blocker and special-teams contributor.
While Montigo remains unsigned, there is a seed planted in Minnesota that could be revisited at some point this summer.
