233 regular season and playoff games. 1,026 receptions. 166 touchdowns. 16,269 receiving yards. One nickname: The Freak. Today, Randy Moss will take his rightful place alongside the NFL’s greatest ever players when he gets inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. One of the best, most productive, and most influential wide receivers to ever play the game, Moss receives the honors in his first year of eligibility.
The former New England Patriots wideout, who had a record-breaking stint with the team from 2007 to early 2010, is one of eight players to get enshrined during today’s ceremony in Canton, Ohio: executive Bobby Beathard, safety Brian Dawkins, offensive lineman Jerry Kramer, linebackers Robert Brazile, Ray Lewis and Brian Urlacher, and fellow wide receiver Terrell Owens join Moss today.
