Randy Moss, the seven time pro bowler has made his long anticipated return to the NFL with the San Francisco 49rs. Ever since the veteran wide receiver has announced his intent to put the pads back on and return to the NFL, it has had fans on the edge of their seats to see where the 35 year old will end up.
In a crowded free agency for wide receivers, Moss must prove his physical stature is up to par after 13 seasons of retirement. Earlier in the month there was speculation that Moss was toying with the idea of playing for the Denver Broncos, or New Orleans Saints however he ended up signing a one year contract with the 49rs under head coach Jim Harbaugh.
The 49rs have been on point with their tight-ends and their ability to run the ball, especially last year, so it makes perfect sense that they were in the market for a receiver.
Although Moss is clearly a skilled and powerful player being that he has played in the Pro Bowl seven times throughout his active career, however it was his work ethic and attitude before his retirement that make coaches and players hesitant to sign him.
Moss initially opted for retirement siting that is was for "personal reasons outside of football," however he intended to make a return in 2011 but decided to give his body one more year to train.
In the time of just one season Moss has completed more than 1000 yards receiving, ten times. He is second to Hall of Famer Jerry Rice who has done it 14 times.
Needless to say, Moss has undeniable talent and it should be interesting to see how he decides to use it in the up coming season starting September 5th.
