New England Patriots: 3 takeaways from Randy Moss’s hall of fame speech
By Sam Minton
Grateful for the opportunity
Randy Moss expressed how grateful he was that the Patriots “ignored the noise” and took a chance on the 30-year-old. Moss was viewed as a locker room nightmare, but the Patriots knew he could work well in their system.
Randy Moss thanked the Kraft family for “ignoring the noise” and welcoming him with open arms. As he mentioned the late Myra Kraft, and how she shook his hand to say how happy she was to have him in New England, the emotion from Robert Kraft during the speech was palpable.

I would definitely say the risk paid off.
Moss is one of the best receivers to play the game. In the red zone, there is no one I would rather throw the ball to. Moss can catch anything.
New England Patriots fans will always remember Moss for his fantastic 2007 season. His single-season touchdown record may never be broken. He was performing at such a high level. It seemed like no one could cover Moss, and even when they did Tom Brady made a great throw or Moss made an amazing catch.
His time in New England may have been short, but his impact will be felt for much longer.
Once upon a 2007 season, Randy Moss happened. dark. Next
Randy Moss was such a unique player on and off the field. There will never be another player quite like him.
