From West Virginia to Football Royalty
Randy Moss’s story is the stuff of legend.
Raised in Rand, West Virginia, Moss defied odds and broke records before ever stepping onto an NFL field. But it was 1998, his rookie year with the Vikings, that changed everything.
In a season that redefined what it meant to be a wide receiver, Moss torched defenses for 1,313 yards and 17 touchdowns, helping Minnesota finish 15–1 and reshaping the modern passing game forever.
“We knew he was special,” said former Vikings QB Daunte Culpepper. “But what he did that year? That was video-game stuff.”
The Netflix series promises never-before-seen footage from that historic season, candid interviews with teammates and coaches, and deep dives into the intense relationship between Moss and the media.
“They Wrote the Headlines. Now I Write the Story.”
Throughout his career, Moss was labeled many things: gifted, controversial, difficult, magnetic. But now, the man himself is ready to reclaim the narrative.
“I’ve been misunderstood my whole career,” Moss said. “They called me trouble. But I was just real. And now, I finally get to speak my truth.”
The docuseries will cover Moss’s high school and college days, his draft night slide, his Vikings prime, the “straight cash, homie” moment, his departure from Minnesota, and reflections on how he sees the game — and his legacy — today.
According to Netflix, the episode lineup includes:
-
Rand Town Roots
-
Draft Day Chaos
