MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – The Superfreak is a Hall of Famer.
The Pro Football Hall of Fame announced their 2018 class Saturday night, and Minnesota Vikings great Randy Moss had his name called.
Voters whittled 15 modern era finalists down to their five selections.
This was Moss’ first year of eligibility. He is the first wide receiver to be voted in on his first ballot since Jerry Rice, who many consider to be the greatest receiver to ever play the game.
Moss certainly has the stats to back up his selection – among wide receivers, he ranks fourth all-time in yards (15,292) and second in touchdowns (156) despite being only 15th all-time in receptions.
