Hey Jerry Rice — nice catch.

The former 49ers and Raiders great, who retired as the most prolific pass catcher and touchdown maker in NFL history, proposed to his girlfriend Latisha Pelayo on Saturday night at a DeBartolo Family Foundation gala, TMZ reported.

That she said yes was, presumably, a foregone conclusion given that the two have been dating since 2008, according to TMZ. Rice and his first wife Jackie filed for divorce in 2007.

The proposal took place at the Waterside Marriott Hotel in Tampa, Fla.
