Football fans are offering prayers and messages of support for Pro Football Hall of Famer Randy Moss following a worrisome announcement about his health.

In the video, Moss addressed concerns from fans who noticed a yellow tint in his eyes. The 47-year-old added that he’ll be wearing sunglasses more frequently, but again didn’t specify the health issues.
Following ESPN’s announcement on Randy Moss, the football world quickly came together to offer prayers and supportive messages for the former star wide receiver.
“We’re all praying for you Randy! 🙏,” one fan wrote.

Randy Moss Had A Decorated NFL Career
There’s a case to be made that Moss is the greatest wide receiver in NFL history. Jerry Rice obviously has the stats and accolades, but no wideout in history could match Moss in terms of pure athleticism, speed and mobility.
Moss led the NFL in receiving touchdowns five times in his career, including a single-season record 23 TDs with Tom Brady’s New England Patriots in the 2007 season. If Moss had more than two years with Brady, there’s no telling how much better his numbers would be.
Moss retired with 982 receptions for 15, 292 yards and 156 touchdowns. He played in two Super Bowls during his career (2007 with the Patriots and 2012 with the San Francisco 49ers).
