NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Randy Moss used to be a star. Now, he's just an afterthought with the San Francisco 49ers.

It's a role he's still struggling to accept.

Moss spent much of his career as one of the NFL's top receivers. During Super Bowl media day on Tuesday, he called himself ``the greatest receiver ever to do it.'' That's a claim sure to be debated in NFL circles.

One thing is certain: the 35-year-old Moss is no longer an elite receiver. This season with the 49ers, he caught just 28 passes for 434 yards and three touchdowns.

While Moss says he ``doesn't understand'' being a blocker and a decoy, he's willing to accept his new status if that's what it takes to win his first Super Bowl.
