Randy Moss. 18. player. 60. <p>The Minnesota Vikings have some good candidates with Hall of Famer’s Ron Yary and Alan Page and future Hall of Famer Adrian Peterson in the running but I went with another future Hall of Famer in Randy Moss.</p> <p>Moss was a Heisman finalist after winning the Biletnikoff his final year at Marshall where he toyed with opposing defensive backs but slid to the No. 21 pick due to off-the-field concerns but Dennis Green’s gamble paid off in a big way for the Vikings.</p> <p>The appropriately nicknamed Freak was a 6-4, 215-pound athlete who was the fastest player on the field and had the vertical leaping ability of an NBA shooting guard. He was unstoppable and made the teams who passed on him in the draft pay immediately after leading the NFL with 17 touchdowns as a rookie. He began his career with six straight 1,000-yard seasons and led the NFL in receiving touchdowns three times.</p> <p>They traded him after his seventh season to the Oakland Raiders where he lasted two years before setting an NFL record with 23 receiving touchdowns with the New England Patriots when he reestablished himself as the game’s best receiver.</p> <p>He did have a brief reunion with the Vikings in 2010 when he played four games with the team after he was acquired in a midseason trade. For his Vikings career, Moss had 587 catches for 9,316 yards and 92 touchdowns. He ranks second all-time in receiving yards and touchdowns.</p>. WR. Minnesota Vikings
