Harold Warren Moon (born November 18, 1956) is an American former professionalfootballquarterback who played for 23 seasons. He spent the majority of his career with theHouston Oilers of theNational Football League (NFL) and theEdmonton Eskimos of theCanadian Football League (CFL). Moon also played for the NFL'sMinnesota Vikings,Seattle Seahawks, andKansas City Chiefs. He is considered one of the greatest undrafted players in NFL history.[1][2]
Moon playedcollege football for theWashington Huskies, winningPac-8 Co-Player of the Year in 1977 and being named MVP of theRose Bowl the following year. Due to not generating interest from NFL teams, he began his professional career with the Eskimos in 1978. Moon's success during his six CFL seasons, five of which ended inGrey Cup victories, resulted in him being signed by the Oilers in 1984.[3] During his 17 NFL seasons, Moon was namedOffensive Player of the Year in 1990 after leading the league in passing yards and passing touchdowns. He led the NFL in passing yards twice and received ninePro Bowl selections. Moon spent 10 seasons with the Oilers, leading them to seven playoff appearances, and made an eighth postseason run with the Vikings before retiring in 2000.
At the time of his retirement, Moon held several all-time professional gridiron footballpassing records. Although relatively unsuccessful in the NFL postseason, his five consecutive Grey Cups from 1978 to 1982 remain a CFL record and he was twice namedGrey Cup MVP. Moon was inducted to thePro Football Hall of Fame in 2006, becoming the first African-American quarterback and the first undrafted quarterback to receive the honor. Moon is also the only player inducted to both the Pro Football Hall of Fame and theCanadian Football Hall of Fame.
Born on November 18, 1956, inLos Angeles, Moon was the middle child amongst six sisters. His father, Harold, was alaborer and died of liver disease when Moon was seven years old. His mother, Pat, was anurse, and Moon learned to cook, sew, iron, and housekeep to help take care of the family. Early on, Moon decided that he could play only one sport in high school because he had to work for the rest of the year to help his family. Moon chose to play football as a quarterback since he discovered that he could throw a football longer, harder, and straighter than anyone he knew.[4][5][6][7][8]
Moon enrolled atAlexander Hamilton High School, using the address of one of his mother's friends to gain the advantages of a better academic and athletic reputation than his neighborhood high school could offer. Moon had little playing time until his junior year, when he took over as the varsity starting quarterback. As a senior in 1973, Moon was named to the all-city team and the football team reached the city playoffs.[4]
Moon attended two-yearWest Los Angeles College and was a record-setting quarterback as a freshman in 1974, but only a handful of four-year colleges showed interest in signing him. However,University of Washington's offensive coordinator,Dick Scesniak, was eager to sign the rifle-armed Moon. Adamant to play quarterback, Moon considered himself to be perhaps a slightly above-average athlete who lacked either the size, speed, or strength to play other positions.[9]
Under new head coachDon James, Washington was11–11 in Moon'sfirsttwo seasons as a starter. However, as a senior in1977, he led the Huskies to thePac-8 title and a 27–20 upset victory in theRose Bowl overMichigan.[10][11] Moon was named the game'sMost Valuable Player on the strength of two shorttouchdown runs and a third-quarter 28-yard touchdown pass towide receiver Robert "Spider" Gaines.[12]

Despite his collegiate success, Moon was led to believe that he would only be a late-round NFL pick and was fearful that it would lead to a limited opportunity to make it in the NFL.
Six weeks before theNFL draft, Moon signed with theEdmonton Eskimos.[13] He andTom Wilkinson shared signal-calling duties from 1978 to 1981, winning four consecutive Grey Cups during this span.[14]
Moon became Edmonton's starting quarterback midway through the1980 season. That year, the team won theirthird consecutive Grey Cup, and Moon won his firstGrey Cup Offensive MVP award as Edmonton defeated Hamilton 48–10.[15]
In1981, Moon started his first year as Edmonton's No. 1 quarterback with Wilkinson, who would retire after the season, as the team's No. 2 quarterback. Moon was moved to the reserve list for Edmonton's game against Ottawa on October 12. During the Grey Cup, Moon was struggling, and Edmonton was trailing Ottawa 20–0 in the second quarter. At this time, Moon was replaced by Wilkinson. Moon returned in the second half and directed drives for three touchdowns and the game winning field goal with three seconds remaining in the game. Edmonton defeated Ottawa 26–23 to win a CFL recordfourth consecutive Grey Cup.
In1982, Moon became the first professional quarterback to pass for 5,000 yards in a season by reaching exactly 5,000 yards. He passed for 36 touchdowns, which set an Edmonton record, and was third in a single season in CFL history. Edmonton would recover from a 3–5 start to finish the regular season 11–5, and first place in the West Division for the sixth consecutive season. The team qualified for the Grey Cup for the sixth consecutive season and won theGrey Cup for the fifth consecutive year. Moon was named the Grey Cup Offensive MVP for the second time in his career.
In his final CFL season,1983, Moon threw for league-records in pass completions (380), attempts (664), and yards (5,648), records which have since been broken. On October 15 against Montreal, Moon set an Edmonton record by passing for 555 yards, which was third in a single game in CFL history. Moon was nominated as the West All-Star quarterback, and won theJeff Nicklin Memorial Trophy, which is awarded to the Most Outstanding Player in the West Division. He was then nominated as the CFL All-Star quarterback and won theCFL's Most Outstanding Player Award. However, the season was not as successful for the Eskimos as they finished with an 8–8 record. Having barely made the playoffs (which they would have missed altogether if not for a loss by theCalgary Stampeders to the last placeSaskatchewan Roughriders in the last week of the regular season), the Eskimos were throttled in Winnipeg by theBlue Bombers in the West semifinal.
During his six years in the CFL, Moon amassed 1,369 completions on 2,382 attempts (57.4 completion percentage) for 21,228 yards and 144 touchdown passes. He also led the Eskimos to victory in nine of 10 postseason games. In 2001, Moon was inducted into theCanadian Football Hall of Fame and the Eskimos'Wall of Honour. Five years later, he was ranked fifth on a list of thegreatest 50 CFL players presented by Canadian sports networkTSN.
Moon's decision to enter the NFL touched off a bidding war for his services, won by theHouston Oilers, led byHugh Campbell, his head coach for his first five seasons in Edmonton.[3]Gifford Nielsen—the starting quarterback in 1983—retired after Moon joined the team, stating that Moon becoming the starter was inevitable.[16] Moon had a difficult adjustment period, but threw for a franchise-record 3,338 yards in his first season in1984, but Campbell was just8–22 (.267) at the helm and did not finish the1985 season.[17] When new head coachJerry Glanville found ways to best use Moon's strong arm in1986, the team began having success. In the strike-marred1987 season, the Oilers posted a9–6 record, their first winning season since1980. In his first postseason game in the NFL, Moon threw for 237 yards and a touchdown in the Oilers' 23–20 overtime victory over theSeattle Seahawks in theWild Card Round of theplayoffs.
Prior to the1989 season, Moon signed a five-year, $10-million contract extension, which made him the highest-paid player in the NFL at that time.[18] In1990, Moon led the league with 4,689 passing yards. He also led the league in attempts (584), completions (362), and touchdowns (33), and tiedDan Marino's record with nine 300-yard games in a season.[19] That included throwing for 527 yards against Kansas City on December 16, 1990, the second-most passing yards ever in a single game.[20][21] Thefollowing season, Moon again led the league in passing yards, with 4,690.[22] At the same time, Moon joined Marino andDan Fouts as the only quarterbacks to post back-to-back 4,000-yard seasons. Moon also established new NFL records that season with 655 attempts and 404 completions.
In1992, Moon played only 11 games due to injuries, but the Oilers still managed to achieve a 10–6 record, including a victory over theBuffalo Bills at home in the regular season finale.[23] A week later, the Oilers traveled to Buffalo to face the Bills again in the first round of the AFC playoffs. Aided by Moon's 222 passing yards and four touchdowns in the first half, Houston built up a 28–3 halftime lead and increased it to 35–3 when Buffalo quarterbackFrank Reich's first pass of the third quarter was intercepted and returned for a touchdown byBubba McDowell. However, the Bills stormed back with five unanswered second-half touchdowns to take a 38–35 lead with time running out in the final period. Moon managed to lead the Oilers on a last-second field goal drive to tie the game at 38 and force overtime. However, he threw an interception in the extra period that set up Buffalo kickerSteve Christie's game-winning field goal. The Bills' rally from a 32-point deficit[24] was the largest comeback victory in NFL history at the time and became known in NFL lore simply asthe Comeback. Moon finished the 41–38 road loss with 36 completions for 371 yards, four touchdowns, and two interceptions. His 36 completions were an NFL postseason record.
The1993 season was the Oilers' best with Moon but was also his last with the team. Despite a drama-filled 1–4 start and early struggles from Moon, Houston went 12–4 and won theAFC Central division crown.[25] However, the Oilers lost toJoe Montana and theKansas City Chiefs 28–20 in the Divisional Round of theplayoffs.[26][27]
Moon set a franchise record with Houston for wins with 70, which stood untilSteve McNair broke it in 2004, long after the team became theTennessee Titans. Moon also left the Oilers as the franchise leader in passing touchdowns, passing yards, pass attempts, and pass completions, all of which still stand today.[citation needed][when?]
On April 14, 1994, Moon was traded to theMinnesota Vikings for a 1994 fourth round pick and a 1995 third round pick; he signed a two-year deal with the Vikings.[28][29]
Moon passed for over 4,200 yards in each of his first two seasons. The Vikings signed him to a three-year contract extension in 1996. However, Moon would miss half of the1996 season with a brokencollarbone.[30][31][32]
The Vikings' starting quarterback job was given toBrad Johnson and Moon was released after he refused to take a $3.8 million pay cut to serve as Johnson's backup.[33]
Moon signed with theSeattle Seahawks as a free agent in1997, made thePro Bowl, and was named Pro Bowl MVP.[34] He played for them for two seasons.
Moon signed as a free agent with theKansas City Chiefs as a backup in1999.[35] Moon's 291st and final touchdown pass was an eight-yard pass toTroy Drayton against theSt. Louis Rams on October 22, 2000, a game in which the Chiefs defeated thedefending champions 54–34.[36] He played in only three games in two years with the Chiefs and announced his retirement at age 44 on January 25, 2001.[37][38][39]
Combining his NFL and CFL stats, Moon's numbers are nearly unmatched in professional football annals:[citation needed] 5,357 completions in 9,205 attempts for 70,553 yards and 435 touchdowns.[citation needed] Even if his Canadian Football League statistics are discounted, Moon's NFL career numbers are still exceptional: 3,988 completions for 49,325 yards and 291 touchdowns to go along with 1,736 rushing yards and 22 touchdowns.[40][additional citation(s) needed] Moon also held individual NFL lifetime records for most fumbles recovered (56) and most fumbles made (162), but this was surpassed byBrett Favre in 2010.[41][failed verification] Moon was in the top five all-time when he retired for passing yards, passing touchdowns, pass attempts, and pass completions.[42][failed verification]
Moon was named to ninePro Bowls (1988–1995, 1997).[citation needed] He worked as abroadcaster for theSeattle Seahawks on both TV and radio until 2017.[citation needed] Moon was elected to thePro Football Hall of Fame in 2006, becoming both the firstCanadian Football Hall of Fame player, first undrafted quarterback, and first African-American quarterback honored; he was elected in his first year of eligibility.[citation needed] On October 1, 2006, theTennessee Titans retired Moon's number at halftime in a game against theDallas Cowboys.[43] He won his first Super Bowl ring in 2014 as a broadcaster for the Seahawks.[44][45] On April 25, 2025, Moon un-retired his No. 1 Titans jersey to allow quarterback andfirst overall pick in the2025 NFL draft,Cam Ward, to wear it.[46]
Moon mentoredCam Newton, the first overall pick of the2011 NFL draft, alluding to their common experiences as prominent African-American quarterbacks.[47][48][49] In December 2017, Moon was suspended indefinitely from his sportscaster position after being sued for sexual harassment.[50]
