Randy Moss
Randy Gene Moss is a former American football wide receiver who played 14 seasons in the National Football League. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2018. Moss is widely regarded as one of the greatest wide receivers in the history of the NFL.
Um... why is he not number one?
Why is he behind Peterson?
Behind Tarkenton and Adrian Peterson?

Cris Carter
The late, great Buddy Ryan said it best: all he does is catch touchdowns. This Hall of Famer caught 131 touchdowns and 1,101 passes. He possessed the best hands in the history of the Minnesota Vikings.
In 1994 and again in 1995, he caught 122 receptions. He, along with Coach Dennis Green, helped revive the winning tradition of the Minnesota Vikings.
In 1998, he was part of one of the most explosive offensive teams in pro football history. His 1,011 receiving yards and 78 catches helped the Vikings win 15 games.

He carried a questionable team on his shoulders. He might not be number one in history until he breaks Emmitt Smith's rushing record, which he will.
Second MVP ever on the Vikings. 28 yards to break 10,000 yards and he is number 28. Second best RB in NFL history.
He tore his MCL and calf, but he became the MVP. Epic story.

John Randle
The Hall of Famer. The man. The mouth. A perfect fit to be wired for NFL Films.
His legacy goes beyond sacks and trash talking. His induction into the Minnesota Vikings Ring of Honor, 137.5 career sacks, and 15.5 sacks in 1997 left quarterbacks and opponents black and blue.
Randle is a legend for all time.
