Retiring after the 2012 season, NFL Hall of Fame wide receiver Randy Moss played since 1998 after getting drafted by the Minnesota Vikings No. 21 overall out of Marshall, but he has zero Super Bowl rings.
Over his career, Moss played for the Vikings, Oakland Raiders, New England Patriots, Tennessee Titans, and San Francisco 49ers. During that span, he was the Rookie of the Year, Comeback Player of the Year, a four-time First Team All-Pro, and holds records for the most receiving touchdowns in a season (23) and most receiving touchdowns by a rookie (17).
He’s accomplished many feats in his career, which we’ll continue exploring below, including Super Bowls and Conference Championships.
Despite his dominance, Moss never found himself hoisting a Lombardi Trophy. The teams he played for made it to two Super Bowls, including the 16-0 Patriots, who lost to the New York Giants, and the 49ers, who lost to the Baltimore Ravens.
While he had a Hall of Fame career, it’s safe to say that Moss wishes he could at least have one under his belt.
Moss finished his career with 982 receptions, 15,292 yards, and 156 touchdowns. During the 16-0 season with the Patriots, he saw 160 targets, caught 98 balls, and went for 1,493 yards and 23 touchdowns.
No one can ever doubt his greatness.
As mentioned, Moss didn’t win a Super Bowl during his career, but the quarterback he played with for several years, Tom Brady, has seven to his name. Despite their dominance, they never won “the big one” together.
The chart below shows the winningest Super Bowl players.
