Number One- Jerry Rice

Jerry Rice

The GOAT. The Greatest OF All Time. Flash 80. His license plate number, as well as the stitching on his towel hanging from his game pants. Jerry Rice owns essentially every receiving record created. The most identifiable ones include receptions in career, 1549, receiving yards, 22,895, and touchdowns with an astounding 208 over his 20 year career. As well as dominating the record books he dominated the art of preparation. Many times coaches would send people to work out with Jerry and come back, saying how crazy that man is. Jerry Rice as a receiver was unstoppable no matter what coverage you played he would and could beat you. His route running was so good that present coaches watch Jerry Rice highlights to teach their players on how to improve their game and run the perfect route. Jerry Rice was inducted to one of the greatest Hall of Fame classes with Emmitt Smith and John Randle.
