A Legendary Career

On November 4, 2010, Rice was honored by NFL Network’s NFL Films production, The Top 100: NFL’s Greatest Players, as the greatest player in NFL history. His remarkable career is highlighted by his status as the all-time leader in major statistical categories for wide receivers, including receptions, touchdown receptions, and yards. Rice’s illustrious career saw him selected to the Pro Bowl 13 times and named All-Pro 12 times over 20 NFL seasons. He also secured three Super Bowl rings with the San Francisco 49ers.
