Hall of Fame receiver Randy Moss is one of the greatest players the NFL has ever seen, and he’s arguably the most qualified person to rank the league’s current crop of receivers. Moss recently did just that, and likely didn’t win any favor with Miami Dolphins star Tyreek Hill.
Randy Moss Names Himself As NFL’s Best WR, Places Dolphins’ Tyreek Hill in Current Top 5
Moss, the 21st overall pick in the 1998 NFL Draft, was named Offensive Rookie of the Year and first-team All-Pro after posting 69 receptions, 1,313 yards, and a league-leading 17 touchdowns. Over a 14-year career with five teams, he set the single-season touchdown record in 2007 with 23 scores.
That historic campaign ended in heartbreak, as Moss and the Patriots lost in the Super Bowl, his only appearance in the big game. Since retiring, the 2018 Hall of Famer has opened a restaurant, which recently partnered with the Dolphins.

Speaking with the media at an event, Moss was asked who was the greatest receiver of all time. After naming Jerry Rice and himself as the best, Moss moved on to Hill. It’s safe to say that Hill probably won’t like the ranking.
Pro Football Talk’s Myles Simmons broke down Moss’s comments from the South Florida Sun Sentinel. Moss said, “He’s nowhere all-time. Where is he at in today’s game? Tyreek Hill is probably top five. I put him top five.”
That might not sit well with Hill, one of the league’s most dynamic playmakers. The eight-time Pro Bowler has five first-team All-Pro nods and a Super Bowl ring with the Chiefs. In 2023, he led the NFL with 1,799 receiving yards, his second straight 1,700-plus-yard season in Miami.
He certainly is one of the game’s best right now, but Moss doesn’t see Hill as one of the league’s all-time best.
Hill missed the playoffs for the first time in his career last season after posting 81 receptions, 959 yards, and six touchdowns. Those numbers were his lowest since 2019, when Hill only played in 12 regular-season games.
The eight-time Pro Bowler has yet to respond to Moss’s ranking, but he must be focused on bouncing back from a tough 2024. Hill created waves by saying that he wanted “out” of Miami after the regular season finale. He later apologized for his comments and is committed to the Dolphins for 2025.
This is likely a make-or-break year for Miami and head coach Mike McDaniel. Could Moss’s ruling on Hill light a fire in the receiver?
