Can Montigo Moss Carve His Own Path? Randy Moss’ Son Aims to Impress at Vikings Rookie Minicamp

Montigo Moss is carving his own path, even if it means starting with a long shot. The Maine wideout — who just so happens to be the son of Vikings icon Randy Moss — didn’t hear his name called in the draft last weekend. Still, the Minnesota Vikings are rolling out the welcome mat, inviting him to join their rookie minicamp as a tryout player. That’s quite the door to walk through, considering Montigo’s college resume boasts 143 receptions, nearly 1,700 yards, and 16 touchdowns across five seasons, including a standout year last season where he hauled in 61 catches for 722 yards and seven scores, earning All-CAA honors. Of course, any mention of Montigo brings us back to Randy — a first-round pick in ’98 who turned into one of the most electrifying receivers ever to play the game, forever enshrined in Canton as a Hall of Famer. Watching this next-generation talent get a crack at the Vikings is a compelling story — it’s like the past and future converging on the same gridiron. Interested in the full scoop? LEARN MORE.
