Montigo Moss, Son of NFL HOF'er Randy, Accepts Vikings Rookie Minicamp Invite

Former University of Maine wide receiver Montigo Moss, the son of Pro Football Hall of Fame wide receiver Randy Moss, has accepted an invite to Minnesota Vikings rookie minicamp, per Fox Sports' Jordan Schultz.

Moss played five seasons for Maine, and he finished his career on a high note by catching 61 passes for 722 yards and seven touchdowns. Moss saved his best work for the final three games of the year with 17 receptions for 261 yards and four scores.

Minnesota, of course, was Moss' first team and where he made a name for himself.

The four-time All-Pro burst onto the scene with one of the greatest rookie seasons in NFL history in 1998 with 69 catches for 1,313 yards and 17 touchdowns. He was a three-time First Team All-Pro in Minnesota over his seven years with the Vikings en route to a phenomenal 14-season career.

Now his son is trying to carve his place in the NFL. The younger Moss, who was listed at 6'1" and 220 pounds during his final collegiate season, steadily improved over his time in Maine, catching 143 career passes for 1,692 yards and 16 touchdowns.

He also got an endorsement from Maine men's basketball assistant coach Pete Gash upon the breaking news.

Rookie minicamp dates have not been released just yet, but the event will occur sometime in early-to-mid May.
