Forcing the Ball

He's way bigger and stronger than all of the guys in the secondary - they wrap him.

Linebackers rarely risk going for the knockout when he comes over the middle - because if they whiff it's probably going to be a huge gainer.

The two injuries that Moss had in his entire career were both hamstring injuries and he missed 3 games from each. He does more running in a game than any player in NFL history - so he has a right to fade a little at the end - but he takes almost no punishment from hits.

I don't remember Moss ever really getting laid out. I do think that he takes plays off, but he does seem to be running fly patterns on every play so it is understandable.
I also think that there have been occasions that he's pretty much just mailed it in. He is extremely talented, but when things aren't going his/his teams way he tends to disapear sometimes instead of trying to take the game over. Obviously he needs the QB to get him the ball, but there are times he just becomes invisable.
