Randy Moss Surprises Nate Burleson on 'Good Morning Football'

Two Vikings Legends had quite the interaction Wednesday morning.

Former receiver and "Good Morning Football" co-host Nate Burleson is celebrating his final week with the popular NFL Network show before transitioning to CBS.

The "GMFB" crew has been providing the proper sendoff to its friend and co-worker, bringing in special guests and connections of Burleson's throughout the week.

And on Wednesday, that meant an unexpected call-in from a Hall of Famer.

"We're breaking out all these surprise guests – you never know who's gonna drop by – and we have one right now that we're very excited about," Kyle Brandt said. "The most important thing about this gentleman is that he played two years with Nate Burleson and was the only person to ever call Nate Burleson 'Nate Dumb-a-son.'

"He's one of the greatest athletes ever, in the history of mankind," Brandt added.

The studio screen then revealed a grinning Randy Moss, who clapped his hands and laughed at Burleson's reaction.

"Good morning, y'all. What's happening with you?" Moss asked via video chat.

"What's going on? What's up, Moss? How you doing, Bro?" Burleson responded, still smiling and shaking his head in surprise.

Burleson played for the Vikings from 2003-05, during which he totaled 127 catches for 1,789 yards and 12 touchdowns.

He and Moss overlapped in 2003 and 2004 before Moss was traded to the Raiders in 2005. The pair of receivers combined in 2004 for 1,773 yards and 22 touchdowns, helping Minnesota advance to the Divisional round of the playoffs.

Burleson has been with "Good Morning Football" since its debut in 2016, along with co-hosts Brandt, Schrager and Kay Adams. He recently announced that he has accepted a co-host role with "CBS This Morning."

"Bro, I had to surprise you. I watch you mostly every morning with Schrager and the team," Moss said. "You've done a hell of a job, and I know you're moving on, man, so I just wanted to come on before you leave up outta here, man, to show you some love."
