Lo caracterizaron durante toda su carrera, su ética de trabajo, esfuerzo y su excepcional desempeño en el campo. Datos personales: Nombre: Jerry Lee Rice Nacimiento: 13 de Octubre de 1962 Crawford, Mississippi Altura: 1.88 mts Peso: 90.7 kgs. Universidad: Mississippi Valley State Números de su carrera: Recepciones: 1549 Yardas: 22,895 Promedio de Yardas por recepción (avg): 14.8 Anotaciones ([TD]): 197 Carrera en la [NFL]: 20 temporadas Camiseta: N° 80 Distinciones: Rice fue elegido en 13 ocaciones en su carrera al [pro bowl] (1986-1996, 1998, 2002) y a la vez, nombrado All-Pro (jugador más destacado del año, en su posición) 10 veces en sus 20 años de carrera en la [NFL] Ganó 3 [Super Bowl]s como jugador de los [San Francisco 49ers] y un campeonato de la AFC como miembro de los [Oakland Raiders] y un campeonato de división en el 2004 con los [Seattle Seahawks]. Su carrera de 20 años en la [NFL] se desarrolló en los [San Francisco 49ers], equipo con el que debutó en la liga en [1985] hasta la temporada [2000]. El año siguiente llegó a los [Oakland Raiders] y con ellos estuvo hasta el [2004], mismo año en que fue cambiado a los [Seattle Seahawks], equipo con el que culminó su gloriosa carrera. -- Vida Personal-- Familiar: Jerry Rice nació en Crawford, Mississippi. Desarrolló sus manos mientras trabajaba ayudando a su padre. Su velocidad, le ayudó a ya destacar en la secundaria. Además sumemos a esto que disfrutaba mucho viendo los juegos por [TV]. Secundaria: Rice ingresa a la secundaria B.L. Moor High School in Crawford, Mississippi. Como jugador de la secundaria, Jerry es nombrado All-State como defensivo (aunque él jugaba como [RB] (corredor) o como [QB] (mariscal de campo), en ocaciones). Aun así, no recibió ofertas de buenas universidades para su ingreso, al finalizar su secundaria. Pero, Archie Cooley, entrenador principal de la universidad Mississippi Valley State en la Division I-AA en Itta Bena, Mississippi, habia oido de Rice. Jerry acepta la oferta y se va a MVSU en 1981. Universidad: Ya como parte del equipo de [Mississippi Valley State University] (MVSU), Rice es apodado "world" (mundo), debido a que "no habia balón en el mundo que él no pudiera atrapar. Rice mantiene el record de campaña, obtenido en 1983, que incluye marcas de NCAA para recepciones, con 102, y yardas por recepción de 1450. Gracias a esto es nombrado en el primer equipo de la Division I-AA All-America. Este es solo uno de los tantos record que dejó Rice en la universidad. Vida Profesional: Ya, en 1984, rimpiendo el record de recepciones en la universidad, Rice causó excelentes impresiones en los scouts de la NFL. Su tamaño, buenas manos y velocidad (4.7 seg en las 40 yardas) estaban tentando a muchos equipos. En su autobiografía, Rice reconoce contactos con varios equipos antes del draft de la NFL de aquel año como [Dallas Cowboys], [Green Bay Packers], [San Diego Chargers], e [Indianapolis Colts]. Dos equipos en especial se interesaban en Jerry, Cowboys y 49 ers. En el draft de 1985, en la primera ronda, Dallas tiene la 17a seleccion y San Francisco como ganador del SB anterior tenía la última selección de primera ronda. Pero el coach Bill Walsh de los 49ers ya se habia enamorado del juego de Rice. Por ello, el día del Draft de 1985, el 30 de Abril de 1985 los 49ers envían su selección de primera ronda (30a) más su selección de segunda ronda a los [New England Patriots] a cambio de la selección de los Patriots (16a un turno antes que los Cowboys, los otros interesados en Rice). Así los 49ers eligen a Rice en el puesto 16 del Draft de la NFL de 1985, causando impacto inmediato en su nuevo equipo. Son recordadas sus 241 yardas en 10 recepciones en un juego contra los [Los Angeles Rams] en Diciembre de dicho año. Al finalizar su temporada de novato, tuvo buenos números con 49 recepciones, para 927 yardas, promediando (avg) 18.9 yardas por recepción. En 1987, Jerry Rice es nombrado jugador del año. Esto gracias a que en solo 12 juegos, logró 1.078 yardas y un record (hasta ese momento) de 22 recepciones anotadoras ([TD]). El año siguiente, en 1988, Rice promedió 20.4 yardas por recepción en 64 pases recibidos para 1.306 yardas, además de 9 touchdowns. Gracias a su juego, los 49ers pudieron ganar la NFS West con record de 10-6. In 1988 Rice averaged a career high 20.4 yards per catch as he caught 64 passes for 1,306 yards and 9 touchdowns. The 49ers once again won the NFC West with a 10-6 record. In the postseason, he was instrumental in the 49ers' 28-3 win over the Chicago Bears in the NFC title game, recording 5 catches for 123 yards and 2 touchdowns. But his performance in Super Bowl XXIII was even better. In what is regarded by many as his finest performance ever, Rice caught 11 passes for 215 yards and a touchdown, while also rushing for 5 yards, assisting the 49ers to a narrow 20-16 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. His receptions and receiving yards were both Super Bowl records. For his performance, he became only the third wide receiver ever to earn Super Bowl MVP honors. In 1989, San Francisco made it back to the Super Bowl, aided by Rice's 82 receptions for 1,483 yards and 17 touchdowns during the season, and his 12 catches for 169 yards and 2 touchdowns in their 2 playoff games. He was once again a major factor in the 49ers championship win, finishing Super Bowl XXIV with 7 catches for 148 yards and a Super Bowl record 3 touchdown receptions. Rice had another superb season in 1990, leading the NFL in receptions (100), receiving yards (1,502) and receiving touchdowns (13). A memorable game from the season was a week 6 match-up with the Atlanta Falcons when Rice caught a career-best 5 touchdowns. San Francisco finished the year with an NFL best 14-2 record, but failed to "3-peat" as Super Bowl champions, losing to the New York Giants 15-13 in the NFC title game. Rice made it back to the Super Bowl with the 49ers in the 1994 season, recording a career-high 112 receptions for 1,499 yards and 13 touchdowns. During the 49ers' first game of that season against the Los Angeles Raiders during a Monday Night showdown, Jerry Rice caught 7 passes for a season-high 169 yards and two touchdowns while rushing for one more and moving into first place all time in the NFL record books for career touchdowns with 127. The 49ers won the game 44-14. Although he only caught 6 passes in San Francisco's 2 playoff games that year, he proved to be a vital component in their 49-26 victory over the San Diego Chargers in Super Bowl XXIX, recording 10 receptions for 149 yards and 3 touchdowns — despite playing with a separated shoulder for much of the game. In 1995, Rice caught a career high 122 passes for an NFL record 1,848 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns (along with 1 touchdown each by way of running, passing, and recovering a fumble). However, the 49ers lost in the divisional playoffs to the Green Bay Packers, despite Rice's impressive 11-catch, 117-yard performance. The following year, he recorded 108 receptions (leading the NFL) for 1,254 yards and 8 touchdowns. San Francisco won in the wild card round, but once again lost to the Packers in the divisional playoffs. In his 3 seasons between 1994 and 1996, Rice had racked up a whopping 342 catches for 4,601 yards and 36 touchdowns. During the season opener of the 1997 season he tore the anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments in his left knee. The injury broke his streak of 189 consecutive games played. Fourteen weeks later he made his return, much earlier than doctors wanted him to. He scored a touchdown, but when he came down with the catch, he cracked the patella in his left kneecap. He was forced to miss the Pro Bowl for the first time in 11 years. However, he made a full recovery, coming back to record 82 catches for 1,157 yards and 9 touchdowns in 1998 and being named to his 12th Pro Bowl. After 2 more seasons with the 49ers, Rice left the team to sign with the Raiders. He excelled with them in the 2001 season, catching 83 passes for 1,139 yards and 9 touchdowns. In 2002 he did even better, catching 92 passes for 1,211 yards and 7 touchdowns, being named to his 13th Pro Bowl and assisting Oakland to a championship appearance in Super Bowl XXXVII. His team lost the game 48-21, but he had a good performance in it, recording 5 receptions for 77 yards and a touchdown. His 48-yard touchdown catch in the 4th quarter made him the first player ever to catch a touchdown pass in 4 different Super Bowls. Super Bowl XXXVII turned out to be the final Super Bowl game Rice would play in. Oakland dropped from an 11-5 record in 2002 to a 4-12 record in 2003 and a 5-11 record in 2004. Rice left the Raiders 4 games into the 2004 season and joined the Seattle Seahawks for the remainder of the year. Rice received permission from former Seahawks wide receiver Steve Largent to wear jersey number 80 during his time in Seattle, even though the team had retired the number in honor of Largent. Rice would play his last post-season game for Seattle, which was a loss to the St. Louis Rams. After his tenure with the Seahawks was complete, he tried to make the Denver Broncos roster during the 2005 preseaon, but retired shortly before the season began. On August 19, 2006 the San Francisco 49ers announced that Rice would sign a contract with them, allowing him to retire as a member of the team where his career began. On August 24, Jerry Rice officially retired as a San Francisco 49er, signing a one-day ceremonial contract for $1,985,806.49 - 1985 being the year he was drafted, 80 for his jersey number, 06 being the year he returned to the 49ers and 49 for his team. That figure was strictly ceremonial, and Rice received no money. There was a halftime ceremony to honor the wide receiver during the 49ers' matchup with the Seattle Seahawks on November 19, 2006. He was joined on the field by former teammates and coaches. -- Legado Rice retired as the leader in a number of statistics. His 1,549 receptions were 448 receptions ahead of the second place record held by Cris Carter. His 22,895 receiving yards were 7,961 yards ahead of the second place spot held by his Raiders teammate Tim Brown. His 197 touchdown receptions were 67 scores more than Carter's 130, and his 208 total touchdowns (197-p, 10-r, 1-ret) were 33 scores ahead of Emmitt Smith's second place spot of 175. To get an idea of how massive his 22,895 receiving yards are, if Rice had not gained any other yards on rush attempts or kick returns, his 22,895 receiving yards would still rank him second place on the NFL's list all-purpose yard leaders (category based on combination of rushing, receiving, kick/punt return yards, and interception/fumble return yards). Aside from an overall talent and will that put him in a class by himself, Rice will always be remembered for his supreme work ethic and dedication to the game. In his 20 NFL seasons, Rice missed only 17 regular season games, with 14 of them occurring in a single year (the 1997 season when he tore his knee ligaments), and the other 3 occurring in the strike shortened season of 1987. His 303 games are by far the most ever played by an NFL wide receiver, and are only 72 games behind the NFL record for games played by a player at any position. In addition to staying on the field, his work ethic showed in his dedication to running precise routes, with coach Dennis Green calling him "the best route runner I've ever seen." Also known as one of the best blockers at his position, there was no aspect of playing wide receiver at which Rice did not excel. In 1999, he was ranked number 2 on The Sporting News list of the 100 Greatest Football Players. Only Jim Brown was ranked ahead of him, and Rice — 35 places ahead of the next-highest-ranked player then active, Deion Sanders — would play another five seasons. -- Estadísticas-- Regular season Receptions (1,549) Receiving yards (22,895) Touchdown receptions (197) Yards from Scrimmage (23,540) All-purpose yards (23,546) Rushing/Receiving Touchdowns (207) Total Touchdowns (208) [197-p, 10-r, 1-ret] Touchdowns against a single opponent (29, Atlanta Falcons) 1st Quarter Touchdowns (49) 2nd Quarter Touchdowns (68) 3rd Quarter Touchdowns (42) 4th Quarter Touchdowns (49) Touchdowns on Monday Night Football (35) Receiving yards gained in a single season (1,848) Touchdown receptions in a single season (22) --done in only 12 games.
