There's no doubt in Davante Adams' mind who the greatest receiver of all time is on his list.
When appearing on "The Rush Podcast," the Las Vegas Raiders' six-time Pro Bowl wideout named New England Patriots legend Randy Moss as the best receiver in history.
Most would still make the Jerry Rice argument, which is a fair opinion to have considering the records and multiple championships. But on strictly pure ability and overall talent, there has never been a more dominant player than Moss in the history of the game.
He finished his NFL career with 982 receptions for 15,292 yards and 156 touchdowns.
"And the top-four receivers, we got Randy is the greatest. You got Jerry Rice. You can't say anything about those," said Adams.
Moss recently made a guest appearance at the Patriots Hall of Fame induction of his former teammate, Tom Brady. The Pro Football Hall of Famer was met with a reaction from Patriots fans so incredible it brought him to tears.
He was obviously great long before he ever played a down with Brady and the Patriots, but no one will ever forget how dominant he was in that 2007 season.
It was a weekly highlight reel of Moss blowing past defenses and Brady heaving up deep balls for touchdowns. They completed the perfect regular season with a 16-0 record and just fell short of winning the Super Bowl.
In the same year, Brady broke the NFL record (at the time) for touchdown passes in a season, and Moss broke the record for touchdown receptions (23). It was a seemingly impossible feat that will never be seen again.
