Let's be honest. Many Minnesota Vikings fans started rooting for the team in the late 1990s or early 2000s. One big reason for the influx of fans to the team was the dominance of young wide receiver Randy Moss.
The superhuman ability of Moss to make contested catches and make opposing defenses look silly was a huge reason the Vikings became must-see TV during that era. The excitement he brought to every game when he took the field.
It was shocking that Moss was still available when Minnesota selected him with the No. 21 overall pick in the 1998 NFL Draft and a recent revelation makes that situation even more unbelievable to fans of the purple and gold.
