Randy Moss' nice gesture to Deion Sanders

The gesture by Moss is extremely nice and one that outlines the respect the two NFL legends have for one another.

In late 2024, Moss stepped away from his role as an on-air commentator after it was discovered that the former NFL wide receiver had a cancerous mass in his bile duct. The positive news is that "he [Moss] said he had surgery to put a stent in his liver on Thanksgiving and underwent a six-hour procedure to remove the cancer." as reported by ESPN.

Both Moss and Sanders appear to be cancer free and back to their prominent roles in the sport of football.

As a result, Moss clearly could understand the difficult situation and time Sanders was experiencing as of late, something that makes his positive, nice gesture even more meaningful and respectful.
