Randy Moss is headed to Canton and the soon-to-be Hall of Famer still can’t believe it happened. On Sunday morning the WR great got a hero’s welcome to the ESPN set.
Randy Moss was overcome with emotion talking about entering the Hall of Fame
This was something else.
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
“Other than serving the man upstairs and loving my family, this is the best that they can ever give me. First ballot, man. I don’t know what else I can say.”
It wasn’t long before Moss couldn’t hold back his emotions any more.
Moss is fourth on the NFL’s all-time receiving list with 15,292 yards over the course of his career, and holds the single-season record for touchdowns when he caught 23 in 2007 with the Patriots.
Video of Moss learning he made the Hall of Fame went viral on Saturday when he got the news in the lead up to the Super Bowl.
Obviously making the Hall of Fame is an honor for any player, but it’s rare that we see someone this genuinely moved by being immortalized. Just brilliant.
