Randy Moss Health Issues
Prayers for a GOAT!
Hard to believe Randy is 47 now, sniffing 50.
Hall of Fame wide receiver Randy Moss revealed he's dealing with a health issue and asked fans to pray for him and his family.
The 47-year-old ESPN football analyst made the announcement on Instagram from the set of "Sunday NFL Countdown" show. He directed his message to men and urged them to get checkups and bloodwork done, without specifying for any particular illness.
"I just ask for all the prayer warriors to put their blessing hands on me and my family through these hard times. People were talking about my eyes last week," Moss said before putting on a pair of sunglasses. "I'm battling something, man, and it's something internal, your boy is going to get through it. I got a great team of doctors and got a great family around me."
Moss played 14 seasons for the Vikings, Raiders, Patriots, Titans and 49ers. He ranks second to Jerry Rice with 156 touchdown catches and had 982 catches for 15,292 yards.
Moss was inducted to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2018. He was joined in the video by ESPN colleagues Rex Ryan, a former coach, and Alex Smith, a retired quarterback.

Hall of Fame wide receiver Randy Moss is continuing to "Moss cancer." The NFL legend is expected to return to his full-time roll on ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown, after missing two months due to a cancer diagnosis last season, confirmed by The Athletic.
Last year, Moss revealed he was receiving treatment for cancer found outside his bile duct between his pancreas and liver. He announced in December that he underwent a successful surgery and received chemotherapy and radiation.
Moss needed to focus on his recovery, so he was unable to appear on Sunday NFL Countdown for some time last season, but made a special return for their Super Bowl edition of the show. Now the 48-year-old is ready to be back with the team for the 2025 NFL season.
"Randy's return on Super Bowl Sunday was an emotional lift — not just for our team but for the entire football community — and knowing he will resume his full Sunday NFL Countdown schedule, beginning in Week 1, has been the highlight of the offseason," ESPN said in a statement.
This is his 10th year with the network.
Moss had a storied NFL career as one of the greatest receivers of all time. He played with the Minnesota Vikings, Raiders, who were in Oakland at the time, New England Patriots, Tennessee Titans and San Francisco 49ers. He was a six-time Pro Bowl selection, a five-time NFL receiving touchdowns leader and has NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year and NFL Comeback of the Year on his resume.

Super happy for Randy.
Here's hoping he stays cancer free for the rest of his days...
Those in "the club" or have loved ones who've battled, know the anxiety/uncertainty he'll have on a forward basis at every CT & lab visit.

Yup. Being in the survivor club is great, but there are still battles for the rest of your life. Good to hear the good news tho.
