Moss had a 40 time of 4.25, the only one to ever have a lower time was Deion Sanders with 4.23. Plus he's 6'4" and has good hands and made circus catches. He told his quarterbacks that if they saw him running side-by-side with someone he was just playing with them and to lob the ball out as far as they could and he'd catch up to it.
When Moss first came to MN, the quarterbacks made bets on who would be the first to overthrow him, because it was nearly impossible. This is why he was always at least double covered at all times, since if they tried to run with him they'd get beat and if they ran ahead of him he'd just stop, turn around and catch the ball. With double coverage on Moss, a lot of times the other receivers would get open. Often they'd throw into double or triple coverage anyway and Moss would end up with the ball. I don't know why nobody has been able to duplicate this success.
Here is a Youtube video that sums up Culpepper's time with Randy Moss. First of all, Culpepper didn't even look around at any other receivers. Moss was his only target from the getgo, and all he did was throw it out as far as he could and let Moss catch up to it. When you throw the ball 40 yards ahead of your receiver, there is no aiming involved. Secondly, Moss was double covered. Lastly, he threw the ball 50 yards right off the snap and still underthrew Moss.:

Here's another Moss is double covered but just outruns them both:

another double covered Moss all Cully had to do is throw it so Moss could catch up to the ball but the other two couldn't:

here's one where Culpepper basically hands off to Moss and he runs past five guys for a TD showing how extremely fast he is:

here's basically the same thing only another team:

more than 40% of Pep's career TDs came from Moss. And it's not like only Culpepper could do it. Here's Frerotte doing it:

and here's Bouman doing it:

that's what you call a one-trick pony, these touchdowns that he had very little to do with inflated his reputation and his ego
Cunningham, George, Frerotte, and Bouman all had over a 94 passer rating when playing with Moss. Check the Bouman and Frerotte clips and you'll see why. Moss would change up his speeds so he got there just in time and if anybody else was there he'd outjump them and use his body to block them.
If you throw the ball far and high Moss will get under it, these videos are proof.
