When the New England Patriots signed superstar wide receiver Randy Moss, no one could have predicted how big an impact the NFL legend would end up having.

Everyone knows that Moss is one of the best wide receivers to ever play professional football, but he had some great years with the Patriots. Unfortunately, he never won a Super Bowl with the team.

Despite this fact, Moss is still very popular with the New England fan base. He will forever be a part of the Patriots organization.

It sounds like he needs some positive thoughts and prayers along the way.

This morning on Sunday’s NFL Countdown, Moss revealed that he is struggling with health issues and asked for prayers.

“Your boy is struggling with something inside. I only ask that all prayer warriors lay their blessed hands on me and my family during these difficult times.”

Here is the video of Moss announcing the problem:

While he hasn’t announced what he’s dealing with, it’s clear that coming out and asking for prayer is at least a relatively serious matter for him.

Our thoughts and prayers are certainly with Moss, no matter what he is dealing with. Hopefully he will be able to overcome his current problems and get back to full health.

During his NFL career, Moss put up monstrous numbers. He ended up playing in 218 games and catching 982 passes for 15,292 yards and 156 touchdowns. In 2007, he threw for a career-best 1,493 yards and 23 touchdowns in a year with New England.

That being said, the hope is that Moss heals and returns to 100 percent. For now, fans can only wait for another update from Moss and send him positive thoughts and prayers.
