GOAT WR. He didn't have Randy Moss' leaping ability, Terrell Owens strength, or Odell Beckham body contortionist catches. He just ran perfect routes, sure handed, and was the hardest working WR for his era.

1986 = great catch! 2019 = after further review...

19 years at wide receiver let's think about this he played for so long he played when Walter Peyton Joe Montana played he played when troy aikman and Emmett Smith played and he played when Tom Brady and and Peyton manning were Young up and comers if you don't respect him for how great of a player he was you have to respect him for his longevity alone

He was outrunning players when he was 40 years old. 40 yard dash doesn't mean much apparently. Simply the best receiver to every play.

"He's not what he was, but he's still better than everybody" GOAT

Knowing he played 19 years at a skill position is crazy

Niners with 3 different qbs and rice was still playing

If you want to know how great Rice was, he broke that career TD record in 9 seasons, then played for 9 or 10 more years just to add to it.

How you tear your acl and come back the same season.. Straight up GOAT shhhhh!! Rice had work ethic like no other..

If people say he used stickems just know nfl gloves have a better feeling and better grip hes still the best wr of all time yall just haters.

Jerry Rice Is the best man to play the positon Happy Birthday My man

He tore his acl and came back 15 weeks later to catch a td pass damn that man is really the best wr

To all you, "stickem" people out there, you guys need to realize that current NFL gloves are a severe upgrade from stickem 😂😂

God I miss the "Montana to Rice days" the best Quarter back to Reciever ever

He didn't have a stupid endzone dance ,he didn't get a cellphone from under the goalposts, he didn't stand in the middle of the field on the other teams logo , he didn't jump in the stands and eat popcorn, he didn't run his mouth about how great he was ,but there was one thing he did do - he did it with class like no other.

1: Jerry Rice, second half of his career. 2: Jerry Rice, first half of his career. 3: Moss 4: Owens

Could we all take time to admire the beautiful throes by the QB

WOW !!!! What a football player. Rice could do it all and would even block when needed. Hands down the greatest ! People who say no never say him play ....flat out

7:47 my dad was at that game because our family are huge seahawks fans but we live in nj. My dad told me about that very catch and i wanted to find it and see it and it was on this video.

Rice is the greatest, hands down. Dude was amazing in ALL areas of the field and for all downs. There is no WR that comes close to the level of difficulty in guarding him down for down.

JERRY RICE IS JR OF 80 IN THE 80S... LEGEND!!! EVEN NINTENDO AND SEGA MADE THE ONLY NFL GAMES COZ OF HIM. SUPERB!!!!

It’s crazy the huge jump the picture quality did from 88 to 89

Rice is all class. no fancy TD celebrations and just goes back to get ready to go again. GOAT WR.

He had one of if not his best statistical seasons with Elvis Gerbac at qb. Complete monster

The real 🐐

Happy Birthday to the Greatest Wide Receiver in NFL History, Jerry Rice.

49ers fans like me this reminds us of our glory days

Outstanding athlete , true professional and a wonderful human being

GOAT Wide Receiver. He was the Ballet of NFL Football.

He's The Greatest Football Player Ever His Numbers Speak Volumes.

All you stickum people and Randy Moss fangirls out there, Jerry Rice only used it in 1985 which was his rookie season. If you wanna take away everything he did that season, that's fine. He's still greater than every other receiver to play the game.

Jerry Rice The GOAT

I'm glad I got to see him play. What an incredible person and athlete. The only G.O.A.T.

GOAT wr

HAPPY 55TH BIRTHDAY JERRY RICE

Unbeliveble player💪💪💪I❤Jerry!!

The one from 1995 was cool but he caught one against dallas that same year that was only like a 6 yard bloop from Grbac and then outran Deion and like 4 other cowboys. It was amazing.

I was there for two of these plays. @2:50 against the Lions and @4:35 vs the Broncos. My father brought me back to Detroit every Thanksgiving to visit family and we would attend the Lion’s games. I think I was 15 at the time. My home team, the 49ers, just happen to play the Lion’s that year. I had a perfect view of Rice’s catch, I was sitting right next to the end zone, and you could see his knee just almost touch the ground, but he got up and kept on running and no one was even near him. It was beautiful….I was there for the Bronco game as well. They retired Montana’s number that night. Eddie D was there and everything. Rice just returned from being injured at the beginning of the year by Warren Sapp in the opening game vs the Bucs. Rice came back, got a TD and was out again. No one knew how serious it was going to be though. We thought he would be right back. That was also the game Bill Romanowski spit in JJ Stokes face. Niners won though. We went downtown SF to celebrate and my buddy made a u-turn right down Columbus st and a bicyclist smashed right into us; totally my friends fault. My friend begged him not to call the cops and gave him all the money in his wallet. The bicyclist was beyond cool and just took the money. Then we went to the Mitchell Brothers strip club and had fun all night long.

Hell of a receiver glad to see him play for my Raiders before he called it quits👍🏽

I wish I had him in fantasy

Jerry Rice, THE BEST EVER

Greatest WR of All Time. Has records and rings to show for it 💯🔥.

Great highlights for the greatest!

I had completely forgot that he played that last year with the Seahawks. I may not have even known it at the time lol

Happy birthday Jerry Rice. The greatest receiver to ever play the game

Dam his speed and route running is superb

Bowman got released. Wow

I completely forgot he played his final season with the Seattle Seahawks. Still, the best wide receiver I've ever seen. #1.

Legend.

Simply the Best. Better than all the rest.😎

Amazing man

You are great I have always thought you were the best of all time happy birthday Jerry rice

Almost pulled a Desean Jackson on the first play

THE GOAT, NO QUESTION!!!

Played 20 was great for 18!! A Legend

Truely the greatest wr EVER AND ITS NOT EVEN CLOSE AND PROBABLY NEVER WILL BE!!!

back when a catch was a catch.

Happy birthday

Greatest player in the history of the game! Happy birthday 🐐

the goat

🐐

The 1988 NFC championship game against the Bears in Chi. in the snow, he had an amazing TD.

Jerry Rice is a Legend and a GOAT

Jerry is the greatest WR.

A true inspiration!!!! He was a class act unlike deion sanders.

Happy birthday Jerry!!

The G.O.A.T best player ever and one of my favorites

His career from 35 to when he retired would be considered a respectable career for most WR 😂. His yardage record is so untouchable. Even guys like AB or Julio that seem on track can’t maintain it for 20 years.

The greatest of all time wide receiver Mr. Jerry Rice SAYS "Pull out your cell phone lets take a selfie" and on my birthday walking out Levi stadium.thank you Mr. Rice

I know I'm probably going to get proved wrong but in all my years of being a 49ers fan and watching football I've never seen a wide receiver like Jerry Rice,but that's not counting one hand catches they don't count it's how great he was.... Jerry Rice you are a G.O.A.T R F L I E L M A. E T E S T

Don't forget how good of a blocker he was, as well. I'd like to see a compilation clip of him just throwing blocks

I think the only change I would make is I'd make the 1995 play where he torched Dallas for 81 yards with that pass from Elvis Grbac.

Not one time does he come talking smack to the defensive back. Class.

Jerry is the G.O.A.T. without a doubt, you name me 1 receiver at the ages of 39 and 40that has caught 83 passes for 1100 yards and 93 passes for 1200 yards. Guess what the Quarterback throwing to him at that time isn't enshrined in the Hall Of Fame either. If he isn't the greatest then I don't know who is. No other receiver was playing at 40 and helping to lead a team to the Superbowl, AGAIN AT 40 YEARS OLD.

I came up on Randy Moss so every now and then I have to come back to these to remind myself who the goat really is and it’s not even close

THE GREATEST!

Such grace. Love ya Jerry. Go Niners

The GOAT 🐐!!!!!!!!!!

HAPPY 55th BIRTHDAY 🏈 🐐

The man's LE-GEN-DAR-Y! Thank u for sacrificing 20 years of your life to give us 20 years of greatness.. 🏈🎆

happy birthday jerry rice # the greatest of all time🏈🏈

Happy Birthday JR

I would appreciate him a ton more had I watched him play in his prime.

Happy Birthday, Mr. World !!

Goat

Greatest wide receiver of all times.So very fast.

Seahawks legend jerry rice

I enjoyed watching rice as a kid when he was playing for the Seahawks you hardly see anybody that healthy at the WR position anymore

This was when football was worth watching. He never had problems off the field either.

Happy birthday JR

2004🔥🔥

Some of these plays are absolutely brilliant from the 2 hall of fame qbs

Jerry and Timmy were unstoppable in our offense

Dang, when rice broke the record it was year before I was even on this planet. Crazy to think about

Joe Montana’s drop back is so beautiful.

Jerry rice ♎️

Jerry Rice > any other nfl WR

Great

One Emoji For Him 🐐

Greatest player in NFL history
