When Jerry Rice was drafted in 1985 out of tiny Mississippi Valley State University by the 49ers, he was thought by some experts to be lacking the breakaway speed that is required of wide receivers in the NFL. But the record-breaking Rice is not only the greatest deep threat receiver in pro ball, he may be the single most dominating player in the game today. At the base of the "V" neck is the "NFL" patch. On the left front tail is the "Adidas" label and below is the size tag, "44." Next to this is the year tag, "00." On the back of the shirt is a white mesh nameplate with the name "Rice" in maroon on black tackle twill. The player number "80" appears on the front, back and on each shoulder of the jersey. The numbers are made of maroon on mustard/black tackle twill. The jersey shows game-use and appears to have no alterations of any kind.
