In his limited appearance ahead of Super Bowl LIX in Louisiana, Moss gave his side of battling cancer and having to step away as an analyst.

"Y'all already know it's a big crybaby here," Moss shared. "Y'all, I couldn't do it alone. And I really thank y'all — NFL, my teammates, I seen Pep [Culpepper], I seen Mrs. Green, I seen Brady, Belichick. Hey guys, it's been hard, but I got a lot of love, and a lot of people believe in me, man. So I'm happy to be here."
