Jerry Lee Rice (born October 13, 1962 in Starkville, Mississippi) is a former football wide receiver in the NFL. He is generally regarded as the greatest wide receiver in NFL history and arguably the greatest player of all time. Rice was selected to the Pro Bowl 13 times (1986-1996, 1998, 2002) in his 20 NFL seasons. He won three Super Bowl rings as a member of the San Francisco 49ers. He has also played for the Oakland Raiders, Seattle Seahawks, and played on the Denver Broncos' 2005 preseason squad before retiring.

Early life

---

Jerry Rice grew up in Crawford, Mississippi, the son of a brick mason. He developed his hands while working for his father by catching bricks that his brothers threw at him. Rice later recalled that working for his father also taught him "the meaning of hard work." His speed also helped him excel in football in high school.

College

---

Rice attended Mississippi Valley State University, becoming a standout on the football team. He acquired the nickname World, because there wasn't a ball in the world he couldn't catch. In college, he had a total of 51 touchdown catches and averaged 10 catches per game in 1984, when Mississippi Valley State averaged over 59 points per game. That season he was named an AP All-American and finished 9th in Heisman Trophy balloting. The school later named its football stadium Rice-Totten Field in honor of Rice and quarterback Willie Totten who threw Rice his many touchdown passes at Mississippi Valley State. He also caught 112 passes for 1,845 yards and 28 touchdowns during his senior year at Mississippi Valley State

Yes, but he did not put on a uniform to do it. He had already retired. RT @sanjomiklo didn't Jerry Rice sign an "honorary" one-day contract?
