Jerry Rice — Team for the Ages

49ers, Raiders, Seahawks WR Jerry Rice

Legacy one-liner

When it comes to the NFL’s all-time greatest receivers, there’s Jerry Rice … and then there’s everyone else.

Just in Rice’s first 12 seasons, he had 16,377 receiving yards, more than anyone who ever played the game. He had 154 touchdown receptions, more than anyone except for Randy Moss, who had 156. Rice had 1,050 receptions in his first 12 seasons, more than anyone except Terrell Owens, who had 1,078.

And then Rice went on to play eight more seasons, catch 499 more passes for an additional 6,518 yards and another 43 touchdowns.
