Randy Moss: Draft profile and testing record
The Vikings archive quotes a Marshall coach who timed two runs at 4.25 seconds and recalled a 47 inch vertical jump. These are reported campus workout marks, not an official Indianapolis scorecard.
Read the workout in context
The draft selection brought the Marshall receiver to Minnesota. Keep the timing setting attached when comparing his speed with later electronically timed workouts. A fast sprint and a high jump describe separate skills; neither establishes a catch rate or a route grade.
Testing table
Source setting: pro day. Values below follow the linked record. A blank field stays unknown; only a source that says DNP supports that label.

| Vertical jump | 47 inches |
| Broad jump | Not recorded in reviewed source |
| Three cone drill | Not recorded in reviewed source |

College, size and draft selection
The college listed for this draft entry is Marshall. The selection was round 1, pick 21, in 1998, by Minnesota Vikings. This identifies the selecting club rather than a present day team.
The reviewed draft record lists 6 ft 4 in and 215 pounds. Draft measurements describe that point in time. A later team roster can list different measurements, so use a dated roster for a current size question.
What this profile can answer
Start with the event notes when checking a sprint or jump claim. Then use the table to see which tests have a result. The draft section covers the college and selecting club, while the dedicated evidence pages answer narrower speed and assessment questions.
This is a historical testing profile, not a live injury or roster update. A workout cannot tell you whether an athlete will play this week. Check the current team injury report for availability and an official gamebook for game statistics.
What to check for this record
A 47 inch vertical from a coach recollection should stay attached to that account. It should not become an Indianapolis record by losing its event label. The source does not verify the broad jump, cone or shuttle values that once appeared in this profile.
Questions readers ask
Which draft team selected this player?
Minnesota Vikings selected the Marshall WR in round 1, at pick 21, in 1998. This is draft history, not a current roster claim.
What does an empty test field mean?
It means the reviewed source does not record a result. It does not mean zero, and it does not prove why the athlete did not have a listed mark.
