After a stellar workout for the New Orleans Saints last week, Randy Moss will attempt to convince the San Francisco 49ers that he can still deliver in the NFL after a year out of pro football.

The veteran receiver, who announced his comeback from retirement last month, will fly to the Bay Area on Sunday ahead of a Monday workout for the team, ESPN reported, citing a league source.

Moss dazzled in front of the Saints last Tuesday, running about 45 routes and looking "like the old Randy," according to witnesses at the workout, FOX Sports reported.

The 35-year-old Moss also ran a 40-yard dash in around 4.39-4.44 seconds, exceeding expectations, sources told sportsNOLA.com.

Moss made the Pro Bowl seven times in his career but his work ethic and sometimes lackadaisical play frustrated coaches. He retired after finding himself without a team following a dismal 2010 season with the Patriots, Vikings and Titans.

Moss was an impact wide receiver as recently as 2009, when he made 83 catches for 1,264 yards and 13 touchdowns in New England.
