Reviews on Randy Moss' comeback with the 49ers continue to be positive. A report from ProFootballWeekly.com quotes a team insider as saying the 35-year-old former Patriot seems to have a singular focus.
“You can still see the Hall of Fame skills,” the team insider said. “At times, he’s been unstoppable [as was the case on his nifty TD grab on a crossing pattern in a two-minute drill at the end of Wednesday’s mandatory minicamp practice], and he has very much quickly become the leader of the receiving corps. He sits in the front row in team meetings, takes notes and is extremely smart. He still has that major star power, and his teammates definitely recognize that.”
Added Niners offensive coordinator Greg Roman: “He has really been as good as you can possibly ask for in terms of being totally engrossed in football. He’s a throwback. … He’s got his family and football and his faith, and that’s what he’s all about. And it’s been great watching the players interact, the quarterbacks interact, the receivers interact with him. And we’ll all be better because of it.”
