Jerry Rice was one of the best wide receivers ever.As people say.He was born and raised in Crawford,Mississippi.Unfortunately they weren't very wealthy.His father was a brick layer and Jerry would help him with his brothers.
They also say he go good hands from when he would catch the firing bricks thrown by his brothers.Jerry would also always run tracks and lift waits he wasn't sure why he just did it!
He also had this thing that even if his whole team had stopped running tracks he would continue and always try to do his best.
He finally played football for the university Miss. Valley State.
He wasn't sure he would make into then NFL because he wasn't in a very big university.He was voted 9th in the highsmen trophy.Then the day finally came,The NFL DRAFT.And guess what Jerry Rice got drafted by Bill Walsh in round 1 (overall 16th).Jerry Rice now plays for the defending Superbowl CHAMPIONS!He had some fantastic years with them.But the first year it wasn't so great he dropped a couple of passes.Anyway he was an amazing athlete.He set a record for the most receiving touchdown passes and won three super bowls.Even one year he got voted MVP instead of the amazing Joe Montana!After and amazing 20 years of the NFL at the age of 42 he retires but sets 38 different records,including career totals 1,549 receptions,22,895 yards and 208 touchdowns!And went to a hall of fame.He also was in the pro-bowl 13 times and voted all-pro 10 times!
