Moss played 14 NFL seasons in the league as a part of the Minnesota Vikings, the Oakland Raiders, New England Patriots, Tennessee Titans and San Francisco 49ers.
“As a player and now as an analyst, Randy has always been candid, direct and compelling; when he talks about football and other topics, you are instantly drawn to what he has to say,” said Seth Markman, senior coordinating producer for ESPN’s NFL studio shows. “With Matthew Hasselbeck, Charles Woodson and now Randy joining ESPN this offseason, we have added three dynamic, new voices to our studio team, all of whom are widely known and respected among football fans.”
Moss added: “ESPN is the No. 1 sports channel in the world! Now I’m a part of a network I grew up running home to watch. The team that has been put together has so much football knowledge to share and I can’t wait to get started. I feel very blessed and excited for this opportunity. It’s going be a great and fun year.”
Moss was previously with FOX Sports as a NFL analyst on the Sunday morning FOX NFL Kickoff pregame show.
