And whenever we encounter Moss’ name, one name always pops out. It’s none other than the Hall of Famer QB, who completes this duo, Tom Brady. Remember when Rob Gronkowski stated, “Tom Brady will always be Tom Brady… but Randy Moss made Tom Brady untouchable.” Well, no question, it’s a fact that Great Players Recognize Greatness.

They played a little over three seasons together, but that’s enough to be called the most dynamic quarterback and wide receiver duo in the NFL. When Brady and Moss teamed up with the New England team back in 2007, all one could do was sit up and take notice.

And it’s clear as a summer day that both the QB and the WR were absolutely insane in that season. Moss was already a senior and one of the top wide receivers, and pairing him with Brady brought out the storm in the NFL.

And ever since his departure was confirmed by ESPN, prayers have been flooding in for his recovery. While Brady described the former teammate and WR as one of the all-time great teammates and friends, he added, “Our heart obviously is with you, our prayers, all our positive energy. We love you so much, man.” That being said, Gronkowski joined Brady and showed his affection, saying, “We’re thinking about you, Randy. We love you man.”

Moss has been keeping his medical condition private ever since he left ESPN recently. However, rumors about his health condition came to the spotlight after a comment from sports reporter Larry Fitzgerald Sr. sparked a controversy. The elder Fitzgerald, when attending the National Football Foundation College Football Hall of Fame ceremony, stated that he had heard that Moss was battling liver cancer.

And right after this cause, Randy’s son, Thaddeus Moss, didn’t wait a second to prove this news to be false and slammed Fitzgerald Sr. He took to his official ‘X’ handle and tweeted, “This is disgusting. You have no right to try to make private matters public for the sake of engagement. I do not believe my father talks to you, so check your f—ing sources.”

However, this rumor spread like a wildfire and caught the eye of certain former teammates of Randy Moss. However, Randy’s son has managed to sideline all the rumors about his father’s health issues. The family is still deciding to keep Moss’ health concerns private. We as fans can only wish for a speedy recovery for the legend.
