Why Randy Moss didn't sign with UT

[RavinDave]

I tend to think of him as Miss Demeanor

Don’t @ me, it was a joke

If I am remembering correctly, he ruled out Notre Dame because he got into some kind of trouble before signing day. ND pulled the offer and he signed with Florida State. He got in more trouble before playing there and ended up at Marshall.

Tennessee decided not to pursue him as they checked into his background and was made aware of something’s . His character was in question and he also didn’t have the requirements to be eligible at Tennessee.

“When I went to Tennessee, all I heard was Peyton Manning’s in Virginia at a family member’s house, he’s trying to drive back here just to recruit you,” said Moss during the broadcast. “And I was like ‘if he’s driving here to recruit me, why isn’t he here right now to get me’. So it was kind of like Peyton being late, he wasn’t punctual. So that was the reason I didn’t become a Volunteer.”

Manning to Moss would have been a beautiful thing.

Can you image Peyton Manning throwing to Randy Moss at Tennessee?

Unstoppable

Tennessee should have just paid Moss whatever he wanted with no questions asked.

Moss at that age likely would’ve never made it at a major college, just too many distractions too many temptations. Randy is more intelligent than some give him credit for but he just didn’t give a damn about the rules at that age.

Unstoppable

Except when he stopped himself.

Scariest thing is how good he could’ve been if he had decided to try to be the greatest ever.

Not a fan. I played golf with him several years ago in a benefit tourney. The best part of the tourney was when we finished. He has/had hands but i suspect a terrible teammate.

Jerry Rice says "Hi".

I love Jerry Rice but he is behind Randy in spectacular plays, Although I think he has the best career numbers.

People using that as an excuse like they’ve never been late a day in their life lol

Randy was late in the first round of the draft and placed on probation having to play in Minnesota

Both can be true. He could have easily used Peyton not being available to remove Tennessee from the equation because he was looking for a reason. Either way, it worked out for both parties.

Or if he was serious about attending the university of Tennessee and meeting Manning, back in the mid 90's we had telephones.

Coach Fulmer I'm coming to Knoxville this weekend. Make sure one six picks me up.

Problem solved
