Hall of Fame wide receiver Randy Moss revealed he's dealing with a health issue and asked fans to pray for him and his family.
The 47-year-old ESPN football analyst made the announcement on Instagram from the set of the network鈥檚 鈥淪unday NFL Countdown鈥� show. He directed his message to men and urged them to get checkups and bloodwork done, without specifying for any particular illness.
鈥淚 just ask for all the prayer warriors to put their blessing hands on me and my family through these hard times. People were talking about my eyes last week,鈥� Moss said before putting on a pair of sunglasses. 鈥淚鈥檓 battling something, man, and it鈥檚 something internal, your boy is going to get through it. I got a great team of doctors and got a great family around me.鈥�
Moss played 14 seasons for the Minnesota Vikings, Oakland Raiders, New England Patriots, Tennessee Titans and San Francisco 49ers. He ranks second to Jerry Rice with 156 touchdown catches and had 982 catches for 15,292 yards.
Moss was inducted to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2018. He was joined in the video by ESPN colleagues Rex Ryan, a former coach, and Alex Smith, a retired quarterback.
