Santana Moss will forever be beloved by Washington fans. Acquired in 2005 in a trade for fellow wide receiver Laveraneus Coles, Moss spent 10 seasons in Washington, ending his 14-year NFL career after the 2014 season.
Moss now works for the Commanders as an analyst, along with some of his former teammates, such as Logan Paulsen, London Fletcher and Fred Smoot.
While Moss’ career numbers will never rival some of the all-time greats, arguably the best wide receiver in the NFL today — Tyreek Hill of the Miami Dolphins — has Moss among his personal top five of all-time.
In a recent appearance with former Washington quarterback Robert Griffin III on the “RG3 and the Ones” podcast, Hill named his personal top five wide receivers of all time, and it was quite the list.
Here’s Hill’s five:
- Jerry Rice
- Steve Largent
- Antonio Brown
- Terrell Owens
- Santana Moss
Three of the top four are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Brown isn’t eligible yet, but should be a lock, regardless of how his career ended. Moss is the only one who will not likely make it to Canton. Unfortunately for Moss, he played with multiple quarterbacks during his NFL career, which lessened his opportunities.
Hill defined his top five as players who changed the position.
Griffin praised Hill’s inclusion of Moss, who he played with for three seasons in Washington. Griffin said he was forever grateful for what Moss did for him in Washington, with Hill responding, “I love Santana.”
