In his career, Moss finished with 982 receptions, 15,292 yards, and 156 touchdowns. Moss is No. 15 all-time in receptions, third in receiving yards, and second in receiving touchdowns. There’s no question that an argument can be made for Moss as one of the best receivers to ever step on a field.
Stefon Diggs is going to pay tribute to Moss with cleats that show Moss mooning the Green Bay crowd, one of the more iconic moments of his career.
But there were plenty of other moments in Moss’ career that stick out. So we asked you all what your favorite moments were.
The iconic 2005 Wild Card Game mooning at Lambeau
After Randy Moss buried the Packers in the 2005 NFC Wild Card game, he pretended to moon the Lambeau Field crowd as the Vikings ran away with a 31-17 win.
At the time, Buck called it a “disgusting act” by Moss, but the two have since made peace, and now we can remember it as an iconic moment in Moss’ legendary career.
It’s also the highlight that comes to mind for many of you.
“Straight cash, homie.”
One of the greatest quotes ever spoken in professional sports. In 2005, Moss was asked about his fine for the fake moon in Green Bay. It was $10,000, and when asked about paying it, Moss uttered the famous words, via KARE-TV.
Reporter: “Write the check yet, Randy?”
Moss: “When you’re rich you don’t write checks.”
Reporter: “If you don’t write checks, how do you pay these guys?”
Moss: “Straight cash, homey.”
Reporter: “Randy, are you upset about the fine?”
Moss: “No, cause it ain’t [expletive]. Ain’t nothing but 10 grand. What’s 10 grand to me? Ain’t [expletive] … Next time I might shake my [expletive].”

Can’t forget about these Moss moments.

The day he left specific teams
