Best NFL player born in each of the 50 states
48. Best NFL Player Born in West Virginia – Randy Moss
Despite his antics, wide receiver Randy Moss was truly a human highlight reel. Born in West Virginia, Moss had a prolific career in the NFL that saw him reach many accolades despite not winning a championship for all his efforts.
To this date, some NFL records that stand out are that he still holds the single-season NFL record for most touchdowns ever at 23 and most by a rookie at 17. Moss made a career out of incredible one-handed receptions and usually went the distance or secured a touchdown when his team needed it.
Moss will forever go down in the history books as one of the best to ever play his position. Even to this day, any young wide receiver just getting drafted into the NFL will spend time watching highlights of what it meant to “getting mossed” on a daily basis.
