The list of players with more career touchdown catches than Randy Moss<\/a> is a short one, \u00a0as only Jerry Rice reached paydirt more frequently than the four-time first-team All-Pro receiver who started out with the Minnesota Vikings<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What further distinguished Moss<\/a> from almost all others was his combination of size and speed. Defenders big enough to take him down often weren\u2019t fast enough to stay with Moss in the first place. That made for a career that culminated with induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Randy Moss put up huge numbers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Randy Moss<\/a> was one of the most dangerous receivers in the NFL on Day 1 of his pro career, and he stayed that way for the entirety of his career. Moss declared for the NFL draft after two monster seasons — 174 catches and 54 touchdowns — at Marshall University and went to the Minnesota Vikings with the 21st<\/sup> pick of the first round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
