Wow such hostility, I'm guessing this was more along the lines of interesting and cool that he's training with Moss, not that he's going to be incredible because he beat Moss in a cone drill.

Moss isn’t someone you would consider to be someone who can teach. I’d rather he train with a Jennings than Moss


This seems like such a dumb thing to get hung up on. Moss is one of the best to ever play the position. I'm not going to complain about a rookie 5th round WR working out with him.

If Moss had been drafted by the Packers and had played his entire career with them would you have the same view?

Yes. Moss was an average route runner. He can’t teach him what Jennings can. Moss made a career off his gifts.

Young "Just run straight down the field and catch jump balls" Randy Moss was probably an average route-runner. But later career Patriots Randy Moss was an absolutely elite route-runner.

My take on Moss is that he was always great at running routes but would be lazy if he wasn't going to get the ball on a particular play.

This sounds about right...I also think Moss really just loved running deep routes and was somewhat disinterested by all the short to intermediate routes.

Never understood how guys could be so lax in route breaks...hard plant, purposeful and directive first step... throw in a misdirection shoulder shimmy and you're sweet. Didn't understand it in the crop in HS abd certainly don't understand the non commit at the NFL level
