OAKLAND, Calif. -- Randy Moss has a new award named after
him.

The top returner in Division I-A college football as chosen by
sports information directors will receive the Randy Moss Return Man
Award.

Moss was the leading kick returner in Division I-AA in 1996 when
he averaged 34.6 yards per return for Marshall. He has returned two
kicks and 18 punts in his nine-year NFL career with Minnesota and
Oakland, scoring on a 64-yard punt return for the Vikings in 1999.

"Back in college, I took pride in that," Moss said. "That's
something I've always had the passion and love for is being able to
catch a kickoff, catch a punt and be able to run it back, because
that can make a difference in the game. It can bust a game wide
open."

The award was created by Gulf Coast Events and GameDay
Consultants, operators of the 2007 North South All-Star Classic.
The finalists for the award will be picked Dec. 13 with the winner
announced at the North South game Jan. 13.

Marshall is currently a I-A team, thats the only reason I can think of that they would give this to a I-A player.

Should be the Desmond Howard award. Hell he won a heisman, and could barely catch a pass:nod: :nod: :nod: and a Super Bowl MVP:eyebrow:

Why in the world would you name an award after Randy Moss. He's a classless lout who does give 100% effort on the field, has admitted to smoking pot, AND has walked off his sideline DURING A GAME!!!

What a joke.
