Randy Moss, the legendary NFL wide receiver turned ESPN analyst, recently shared news that he was “battling something internally” after fans bombarded social media with questions about his yellow-tinted eyes.
While Moss did address the situation and admitted to a health issue, the cryptic statement he provided did not reveal what exactly he was suffering from, which in turn has led to wide speculations, ranging from jaundice to liver cancer.
On December 1, Randy said in an Instagram video and then later on his ESPN segment,
You were talking about my eyes last week and I just wanted to let the viewers know that me and my wife, me and my family, are battling something internally.
