I’m retiring for a cause, a young LSU Tigers athlete explains.
Former Cincinnati Bengals tight end Thaddeus Moss, the son of NFL Hall of Fame wide receiver Randy Moss, announced his retirement from football on social media Monday. Moss was a key component of LSU’s 2019 National Championship.
According to CBS Sports, Moss performed well throughout the 2019 college football playoffs. One of his scores helped quarterback Joe Burrow set a record.
Moss scored two touchdowns, a single game career high, on five catches for 36 yards. He also was targeted eight times as quarterback Joe Burrow put a topper on his record-breaking season with a 42-25 win in the national title game. In fact, Moss’ second touchdown of the evening, a four-yard score, gave Burrow the FBS record for most passing touchdowns in a season with 59.
Meanwhile, Moss’ first touchdown of the night came right before halftime to extend LSU’s lead to 28-17. All of this follows up his career day against Oklahoma in the Peach Bowl semifinal in which he had four catches for 99
The tight end left LSU to enter the 2020 NFL Draft but went undrafted. He signed with the Washington Football Team for the 2020 season. He rejoined his LSU teammates Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase with the Cincinnati Bengals for the 2021 season. The Bengals released him in September 2022.
