Football Legends Jerry Rice

Jerry Rice, arguably the best receiver to play in the NFL, holds the all-time record for most receiving touchdowns in both a season and a career.

He was born in rural Mississippi. He played college ball at Mississippi valley state and had the 49ers wanting him bad. He was the 49ers first pick in the 1985 NFL draft. Rice became the main target for quarterbacks, Joe Montana and Steve Young. Jerry helped the Niners to win the 1989 and 1990 Superbowls.

This is a book for someone that likes football. I really liked this book and I would recommend this to football fans.
