New Orleans (AP) – The Famous Randy Moss Hall made an emotional return to the Super Bowl ESPN’s reflection on Sunday, two months after taking leave of work to be treated for cancer.

Moss returned to ESPN’s NFL Sunday before Kansas City took over Philadelphia in the Super Bowl. He was welcomed with a video that included messages from Tom Brady, Bill Belikik, Justin Jefferson, Kevin Garnett and several other big names that welcome him back to ESPN’s set.

Moss was moved to tears from the video before continuing his job to analyze the Super Bowl.

“The guys were difficult, but I have a lot of love and a lot of people who believe in me,” he said. “I’m happy to be here.”

Moss took an ESPN vacation in early December after undergoing cancer surgery. At the time he said in his bile duct a cancer was found between the pancreas and his liver. He said he had an operation to put a stent in his liver on Thanksgiving and later had a six-hour procedure for cancer removal. He also said he would undergo radiation and chemotherapy.

Moss is an attachment to the 2016 ESPN show, Moss, which turns 48 on Thursday, was introduced at Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2018 after playing 14 seasons with the Vikings, Raiders Patriots, Titans and 49ers.

Moss ranks second in the history of NFL with 156 touch of touchdown and fourth with 15 292 yards, he set a NFL record with 23 TD in 2007 for Patriots.
