Randy Moss Named Athlete of the Year for 2007

With all the hype the white media has given Tom Brady, almost no one noticed the greatness of Randy Moss. Tom Brady is a quarterback for the ages, but there is no substitute for Randy Moss. The embattled receiver has been the reason for the season for Tom Brady, as he gave him one of the most coveted targets in the NFL.

Drafted entirely too far into the 1998 draft, it was clear that Moss was going to be a great receiver. Putting up Jerry Rice numbers during his rookie season put all teams on notice that they'd made a huge mistake by not drafting this amazing receiver.

This was the year when a beautiful professional marriage was delivered, as the New England Patriots looked beyond the controversy and brought Moss to the Patriots. As a result, the Patriots put themselves into position to break a record that has not been touched for 35 long and grueling years. Before Moss, the Patriots were strong, but they've never been in position to do the things they can do now, and Brady would never have reached his record had it not been for the unbelievable guy going deep on every other pass.

Randy Moss is clearly the best player in the NFL and the top athlete in America, at least in 2007. That is why he is The Your Black World Athlete of the Year.
