Randy Moss says Tyreek Hill is 'nowhere all-time' in NFL wide receiver rankings discussion
Moss took a shot at the Miami Dolphins speedster while talking with the South Florida Sun Sentinel last week, when he said Hill doesn't deserve to be in the conversation as one of the greatest receivers to play the game.
"He's nowhere all-time," Moss told the outlet. "Where is he at in today's game? Tyreek Hill is probably top five. I put him top five."
While Moss hit Hill with the jab, he has no doubt in his mind where he stands in terms of the greatest to ever play the position.
Moss is second all-time in receiving touchdowns (156), fourth in receiving yards (15,292), and 17th in receptions (982). Some make the argument that Moss was the greatest receiver to ever play the game.
"Is that a real question?" he said when asked by the outlet where he thinks he ranks among the best ever. "Are you being political or are you being real?
"Because if we're talking political, we'll say Jerry Rice. If we're talking real football, where I knock you're a-- out, it's me."
Meanwhile, Hill has been one of the best receivers in the NFL for a few years now, beginning with his tenure on the Kansas City Chiefs. He was a Pro Bowler his rookie year in 2016, and that streak continued up until last season, when he didn't make it.
Hill had four straight seasons with at least 1,200 receiving yards before a down year in his standards in 2024. He totaled 959 yards with six touchdowns on 81 receptions during a roller coaster 2024 campaign for the Dolphins.
However, Hill led the league in receiving yards (1,799) the year prior, as well as receiving touchdowns (13).
Hill's ability to use his speed and quick route-running to create separation has allowed his quarterbacks, Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes and Dolphins leader Tua Tagovailoa, to create big plays with him on the gridiron.
However, Hill has some stats to get to be considered one of the greatest receivers ever from that perspective. He is currently 42nd in receiving yards (11,098), 30th in receiving touchdowns (82), and 42nd in receptions.

Notre Dame quarterback Kenny Minchey makes a bold proclamation following Friday's practice
You love to see when your quarterback has extreme confidence, and Notre Dame's Kenny Minchey did exactly that on Friday following the second fall practice. When speaking with the media, the second-year player proclaimed that he believes that he's 'the best quarterback in the country,' as On3's Jack Soble posted on social media. It's a strong claim, but one that ultimately could come true. Minchey will have to beat out CJ Carr first, but having that kind of confidence will go a long way. Everything that we have seen from his during his limited playing time and in practices seem to suggest that he's got the skill set to lead the Notre Dame offense. He's got the running ability to make defenses account for his legs, and the throwing ability to pop the top off of a defense. It will be a very interesting battle between the two, as the competition continues this fall leading up to the season opener on the road against Miami. Head coach Marcus Freeman will have a very difficult decision to make, but Minchey is very confident in his abilities.

Candace Parker calls effort in WNBA All-Star Game 'awful'
Seven-time WNBA All-Star Candace Parker was unimpressed by the effort in the All-Star Game. Parker criticized the game on a podcast that aired Wednesday, calling it 'awful.' 'Y'all cannot come out there with those shirts of 'Pay Us What You Owe Us' and then do that,' Parker told All-Star Aliyah Boston on their new podcast 'Post Moves.' Parker was referencing the warmup shirts both teams wore at the July 19 game in response to failed collective-bargaining negotiations with the league earlier that week. Players are fighting for higher pay and better benefits, among other improvements. The game set a WNBA All-Star record for points scored and Napheesa Collier set the individual scoring mark with 36 points. Team Collier beat Team Clark 151-131. Defense was at a minimum as the league's stars allowed each other to get shots up without contest. It wasn't unlike the all-star games across other pro leagues, but Parker was looking for more from WNBA players at a time when they're in the spotlight. 'I think on one of the biggest stages, in an All-Star setting that was invested in more than any other All-Star game previously. … I think it would've really maximized the moment.' Fever forward Boston, who played on Team Clark, defended the performance of her and her peers. 'An All-Star Game, where we have another game in two days, I think that it's OK to just go out there and hoop and have some fun,' she said. 'Because on Tuesday, we were back at it, and we were playing and we were showing once again why we deserve to get paid.' ___ AP WNBA: Alyce Brown, The Associated Press
