Randy Moss high ankle sprain

[ThreeSportStar80]

This thread is bogus... Rady Moss didn't suffer a high ankle sprain in 1998 (his rookie season). Here's a piece from his bio....


After a stellar preseason, Randy earned a regular spot in the Minnesota offense. With Carter and Reed as the classic possession receivers, the rookie provided a deep downfield threat for the Vikings, giving their offense a powerful new dimension. Minnesota got off to a great start, winning its first two games. Then the season took a turn for the worse when Johnson broke his leg. Green turned to backup Randall Cunningham, and instructed him to throw the long ball. The veteran was more than happy to do as asked.

If true, I think that is the point of the post....but I don't recall him having a sprain at that time.

Moss sprained his ankle doing just that two days before the team's May minicamp after he was drafted last year. He sat out the camp and, according to Green, the injury hampered Moss's play his entire rookie season, which was nonetheless spectacular.

Looking online apparently Randy moss did have a [strike]High Ankle Sprain[/strike] hamstring that caused him to miss the entire Preseason...only it was in 2007 not 1998...still he did set the Rec TD record that season, and it was his first season with a new team

from answers.com bio

In the first week of training camp, during an 11-on-11 passing drill, Moss suffered a hamstring injury to his left leg. As a precaution, the injury prevented Moss from participating in any preseason games and he missed much of the rest of camp.

His first action in a Patriots uniform came in the infamous Spygate game against the New York Jets in week 1. He quickly quieted critics who claimed that his skills had deteriorated by hauling in 9 receptions for 181 yards, including a 51 yard touchdown pass in which he ran past 3 Jets defenders.

this says a hamstring injury, not a high ankle sprain...and this was with close to 10 years of NFL experience under his belt

[DallasCowboysRule!]

When I first saw this thread title I assumed we'd traded Scandrick to New England.

awesome. that will make Dez better than Moss by default just like Brad Johnson and Trent Dilfer were better than Dan Marino... I doubt Dez will ever change the game like Randy did.
