Randy Moss taps his left shoulder when asked if he still thinks about his friend — that big, lovable, smiling best friend to everyone — 20 years after that tragic 12-hour turn of events in Mankato.
"Do I think of Big Korey over the years?!" the Vikings Hall of Fame receiver asked incredulously. "Every day when I look in the mirror. I got him right here on my shoulder. I've had 'Big K' tatted on my shoulder ever since the year he left us. He meant everything to me. He meant everything to us."
Korey Damont Stringer was a 6-4, 336-pound Pro Bowl right tackle, loving husband to Kelci and gushing 27-year-old father of 3-year-old Kodie when he collapsed on the practice field during training camp at Minnesota State Mankato on July 31, 2001.
