On Sunday morning, NFL legend Randy Moss took to social media to share a heartfelt message with his fans, revealing that he is currently battling an unspecified internal health issue. The Hall of Fame wide receiver opened up about his condition after receiving numerous messages from fans who noticed that his eyes looked yellow during the previous week’s broadcast.
Concerned viewers speculated that Moss might be dealing with a health problem, prompting him to address the situation directly. While he didn’t disclose the specific nature of his health challenge, Moss asked his followers for their prayers and support during this difficult time.
“Throughout the week of the holidays, your boy has been battling something internally. I just ask for all the prayer warriors to put their blessed hands on me and my family through these hard times,” Moss said in an emotional message shared on Instagram.
He acknowledged that people had commented on his appearance, particularly the color of his eyes, during the previous episode of “Sunday NFL Countdown.” In the video, Moss was seen wearing sunglasses, which he humorously referred to as the “Michigan turnover glasses” at the suggestion of fellow analyst Adam Schefter.
Moss explained that he would continue wearing the sunglasses for comfort while he dealt with his health issues. He also took the opportunity to encourage other men to prioritize their health.
“Like I said, I’m battling something, man, and it’s something internal,” Moss continued. “Your boy is going to get through it. I’ve got a great team of doctors and a great family around me. All you men, get your check-ups and get your blood work done.”
Moss’s candid message about his health struck a chord with fans, many of whom took to social media to offer their support and well-wishes. The former wide receiver is known for his resilience and determination both on and off the field, and his openness about his current struggles served as an important reminder about the value of health and regular medical check-ups.
