Randy Moss's Triumphant Return: NFL Legend Beats Cancer, Back on ESPN!
Hall of Fame wide receiver Randy Moss is set to make a triumphant return to ESPN's 'Sunday NFL Countdown' after bravely battling cancer. The NFL icon, who took time off last season to focus on his health, is expected to resume his full-time role when the 2025 NFL season kicks off.
Moss revealed his cancer diagnosis last year, sharing that a cancerous mass had been found in his bile duct. He underwent successful surgery and received chemotherapy and radiation. His recovery has progressed remarkably, allowing him to rejoin the ESPN team for his 10th year with the network.
"Randy's return on Super Bowl Sunday was an emotional lift — not just for our team but for the entire football community — and knowing he will resume his full Sunday NFL Countdown schedule, beginning in Week 1, has been the highlight of the offseason," ESPN said in a statement. Moss made a special appearance during the Super Bowl broadcast, signaling his eventual return.
Moss had an incredible NFL career, playing for the Minnesota Vikings, Oakland Raiders, New England Patriots, Tennessee Titans, and San Francisco 49ers. He was a six-time Pro Bowl selection, a five-time NFL receiving touchdowns leader, and earned NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year and NFL Comeback Player of the Year honors. He holds the single-season record for most touchdown catches (23), set in 2007 with the Patriots.
The football community is thrilled to welcome Randy Moss back to 'Sunday NFL Countdown.' His presence, insights, and passion for the game will undoubtedly enrich the broadcast and inspire viewers. We wish him continued health and success in his return to the screen.
