Brenden Rice will follow in his father's footsteps this week and become an NFL wide receiver, but that's where he wants the comparisons to end.
The USC receiver told TMZ Sports there is no way he will wear Jerry Rice's No. 80 in the pros.
"I would love to go ahead and make my own impact," Rice said.
Jerry Rice is, by any objective measure, the greatest wide receiver in NFL history. He owns the NFL record for receptions (1,549), receiving yards (22,895) and receiving touchdowns (197) while playing decades before the current pass-heavy era.
