It is the most prolific season a wide receiver has ever had in the National Football League.

Over the course of 16 games in 2007, Randy Moss couldn't be kept out of the end zone. In his first year with New England, Moss hauled in an astounding 23 touchdown catches to set a new single-season NFL record.

Paired with New England quarterback Tom Brady, Moss haunted opposing defenses. He caught touchdowns in all but three games and had multiple scores in half of New England's perfect 16-0 romp through the regular season.

It was a special season-long combination of a dynamic wide receiver paired with a superstar quarterback, one who will one day find himself alongside Moss at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.

In emailed answers to questions from Vikings.com, Brady detailed what made that 2007 season with Moss such an unforgettable one.

"He had the greatest season any receiver could ever have that year," Brady said. "So much of his hard work, his intelligence, really was able to manifest itself in our offense. He was so spectacular as a player, as a teammate, and that was one of the greatest years of my life.

"Randy was my lockermate; he sat next to me. We always had a connection. I know Randy had a great love of the game, and I think we connected and we bonded over that. We have maintained a friendship that lasts to this day," Brady added. "It was just an incredible year, and his impact on the team was immediate. I'll never forget playing with him. I certainly miss him as a player. I have great memories of him throughout his entire career."

Moss' Patriots debut came to the tune of nine catches for 183 yards and a score against the Jets. A 51-yard touchdown came on a play-action pass, with Moss the only player going out on a route. A trio of Jets defenders were nearby as Moss scampered into the end zone.

"I threw the ball about as far as I could all the way across the field and the route – it was a one-man route, it was a play-action fake to try to get people sucked up in the line of scrimmage, and Randy ran behind them," Brady said. "I threw it, and as soon as I let that ball go, I said, 'No way he's going to catch that ball.' He tracked it down. It was a touchdown, and he went on to have 23 touchdowns that season. It was a great way to start the year, and nobody in the history of football could do it like Randy did it."

Moss will likely be remembered for his time as a Viking, and the undeniable impact he had on the league from the time he was drafted in 1998.

But if you're looking for his best overall season, it might be in 2007 when he was as dominant as ever with 98 catches for 1,493 yards and those 23 touchdowns.

It was Brady to Moss, the most unstoppable duo the league has seen over a single season.

And there is no doubt they will one day be reunited in Canton.

"This is a very deserving honor. I mean, I saw the work that he put in, not only his physical ability, but how smart he was as a player and how he approached every week," Brady said. "He was a master at what he did and he took it seriously. He saw defenses that no one else ever saw because of his threat, his ability to play football and how threatening he was out on the field to opposing defenses.
