Former Minnesota Vikings legend Randy Moss just sat in on a wide receivers meeting, getting deep in the weeds on the team’s preparation for the 2026 season! This isn’t just a casual visit either; we’re talking about a Hall of Famer dropping knowledge directly on Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison.
Unbelievable Access For These Young Stars
Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell spilled the beans to reporters, confirming Moss was in Wednesday’s meeting led by positional coach and former Pro Bowl wideout Keenan McCardell. O’Connell joked, saying, “That’s a room that I was not going to walk in and start talking about receiver play, I know that for sure, between Keenan and Randy.” You know it’s a special session when the head coach admits he’s just there to listen!
The connection between O’Connell and Moss goes way back, with O’Connell having played alongside Moss for two games on the New England Patriots in 2008. Turns out, getting Moss back around the team was a big goal for O’Connell when he took the job. “Randy’s become a guy that I talk to quite often,” O’Connell shared. “He talks to me more now than he did when I was teammates with him.” That’s high praise and serious access for this Vikings WR room, which also features Jauan Jennings.
Moss Is Always Watching
Moss wasn’t just in the meeting room; he’s been around. He was spotted watching practice from a deck overlooking the media area while O’Connell talked about the meeting. Earlier in the week, he even attended Wednesday’s joint practice between the Vikings and the Baltimore Ravens, where he chatted with players like Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray and Ravens running back Derrick Henry. Talk about a legend keeping tabs on the league!
These joint practices are the lead-up to a Saturday preseason matchup between the Ravens and Vikings. Most starters, including Murray, probably won’t be playing in that game, so Jefferson, Addison, and Jennings will likely have to wait a bit longer to put all that “Moss magic” into full effect on game day. But man, the foundation is being laid for something big in Minnesota!
