College career[edit]
Moss played college football for the University of Miami Hurricanes, where he was a standout wide receiver. Before being drafted in the 2nd round of the 2006 NFL Draft by the New York Giants, Moss was rewarded MVP of the 2006 Senior Bowl.
Moss was also a track star at the University of Miami, where he recorded personal bests of 6.42 seconds in the 55 meters and 10.50 seconds in the 100 meters.
Jun 21, 2013 Wes Welker's visit to our Around The League podcast got us thinking: Who is the best slot receiver in the NFL? I posed this question to Chris Wesseling, who didn't hesitate to rank Percy Harvin No. After the New York Giants brought in veteran slot-receiver Golden Tate, it seemed apparent that Pat Shumur and this offense would be moving to a more balanced scheme.One that will rely heavily on.

New York Giants[edit]
Moss was selected by the New York Giants with the 44th overall pick in the second round of the 2006 NFL Draft out of the University of Miami.
The Giants expected to groom Moss to be their slot receiver in 2006 but his progress was marred by a recurring quadriceps injury, which caused him to miss training camp and limited him to five receptions during his rookie season in six games.[2] In 2007, Moss played in 13 games, the year of Giants' Super Bowl XLII victory.[2]
After two seasons with the Giants that produced only 26 receptions for 230 yards and no touchdowns, Moss vowed to improve in the 2008 campaign.[2][2] However, Mario Manningham and Hakeem Nicks, quickly surpassed Moss on the depth chart.
Prior to the 2010 season, Domenik Hixon, who had taken the return job away from Moss during the 2009 season, tore his ACL and was placed on injured reserve. During the preseason, Moss competed for the return specialist job, but suffered from a sports hernia and on August 31, 2010 was placed on season-ending injured reserve. Moss was officially waived by the Giants on November 9, 2010 after reaching an injury settlement.[3] Primarily because of injuries, he departed New York after a five-year career that included just three touchdowns.[3]
