Last week, Randy Moss announced on social media that his cancer is now in remission. Following that, heartfelt thoughts and prayers poured in from all across the NFL world. Former QB Teddy Bridgewater joined in, narrating how Moss has been a bundle of positive energy right through his fight.

Bridgewater urged Randy to keep fighting, stay in a good place mentally, and not hesitate to reach out and share the burden with his loved ones, the NFL family, and his community.
“You’re allowed to have your moments as a human being. But the longer you can stay in that place of happiness and think about all the good times man. Like my mom always told me positive energy will defeat the cancer cells,” said Teddy on Pivot Podcast.
Bridgewater spoke from experience, having gone through something similar with his mother, Rose Murphy. As a teenager, he struggled to fully grasp the reality of watching her fight cancer.
Seeing his mother face and overcome breast cancer with a smile motivated him. Their bond grew stronger as well. Murphy was the one who encouraged Bridgewater to pursue his dream of playing football, and never lost faith in him.
The poignantly symbolic moment for the mother and son came the night before Teddy’s NFL Draft. Bridgewater fulfilled a promise he’d made and gifted his mother a pink Escalade as tears of joy filled her eyes. At that moment, he knew that her fight and his struggles had all been worth it.
Hopefully, Moss can come out the other side much stronger too.
