NFL Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinee Randy Moss visited the University of Colorado this week, where he addressed the football team before their season opener. Wearing Colorado gear, Moss spoke directly to head coach Deion Sanders’s players with a message focused on discipline and preparation.
Moss opened his remarks by referencing his late older brother, whose enthusiasm for football played a key role in shaping Moss’s own path to becoming a professional athlete. He said his brother’s death in 2019, shortly after Moss was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, remains an emotional memory.
“When Coach Prime called me,” Moss shared, “One thing I couldn’t get out of my mind: Am I my brother’s keeper?”
He drew connections between the passion that guided his career and what he observed within Sanders’s program.
“This is a professional setting,” Moss continued. “From the meals, the coaches, the preparation, everything they do, so if you’re asking me why I’m here. I just want to see the attention to detail. I just want to see what’s coming out of that tunnel on Friday. That’s why I’m here.”
Emphasizing focus and culture—a point often made by Sanders—Moss said: “I don’t care who they come and put y’all l in front of, right (…) Y’all got to believe, if you prepared, you going to go ahead and take it home.”
The Colorado Buffaloes are set to begin their season against Georgia Tech on Friday evening.
