When the NFL draft had ended with his name still uncalled, Thaddeus Moss said his emotions “were all over the place,” the whole thing “a slap in the face.” So when his agent called shortly after with the names of three teams who wanted to sign him, all he cared about was who called first.
Which is how the tight end from LSU, the son of Hall of Fame receiver Randy Moss, chose the Washington Redskins.
It didn’t matter that one of the other two teams was the New England Patriots, where his father once starred and a team that had built Super Bowl champion offenses around tight ends.
