It's been almost two decades since Randy Moss last suited up in a Minnesota Vikings uniform for a game, but the legendary wide receiver still keeps a close eye on his former team.

On Thursday, the Vikings revealed that Moss made an appearance at the TCO Performance Center in Minnesota during one of the team's OTA practices. The Vikings shared photos of the Hall of Famer interacting with current Minnesota players Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, and, of course, Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell.

It's always great whenever a former Minnesota player or coach stops by to meet-up with the current team, especially when it's someone as legendary as Moss.

He played the game at the absolute highest level, so whenever he's offering to give advice, Vikings players are always ready to listen.

Minnesota, of course, has a current wide receiver in Jefferson who is on a path join Moss in the Pro Football Hall of Fame one day.

In six seasons, Jefferson already ranks third all-time in Vikings history in career receiving yards (8,480), seventh in career receiving touchdowns (42), and third in carer catches (579).

In fact, he only needs nine more receptions to pass Moss for second on Minnesota's all-time list for career catches. After that, Cris Carter and his 1,004 receptions in a Vikings uniform would be the only player ahead of Jefferson on the list.

Jefferson also only needs 837 more receiving yards to move past Moss for second all-time in Vikings history for career receiving yards. That seems like an easy task for Jefferson next season, but after Minnesota's quarterback uncertainty in 2025, it's still easier said than done (for now).

If he can pass Moss in these two categories next season, then Jefferson will only add more cement to the ongoing legacy he's in the middle of creating during his tenure with the Vikings.
