Moss brought to tears by fans’ ovation at Tom Brady HOF night originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
One of the best parts of Tom Brady’s Patriots Hall of Fame induction ceremony Wednesday night at Gillette Stadium was a standing ovation one of his former teammates received from the fans in attendance.
About an hour and a half into the event at Gillette Stadium, Brady and host Mike Tirico were joined on stage by the four players who caught the most touchdown passes from the legendary quarterback: Rob Gronkowski, Julian Edelman, Wes Welker and Randy Moss.
Tirico asked Moss about the special 2007 season during which Brady set a record with 50 touchdown passes and Moss set a record with 23 receiving touchdowns.
Before the Hall of Fame wide receiver could finish answering the question, fans gave Moss a long ovation that brought him to tears.
It was a really cool moment.
Although the 2007 campaign did not end with a Super Bowl victory, it produced some of the Patriots’ most memorable moments during the Brady era.
The connection between Brady and Moss was one of the best in NFL history, and although the star receiver only played a little more than three seasons in New England, he will always be a fan favorite in this region, and rightly so. .
