required learning for receivers?

Seriously, every receiver should be forced to watch NFLN's Jerry Rice: Catching History.

They may not become the next jerry rice, but it would go a long ways towards them being the best player they can be.

Jerry Rice wasn't any good though.

Steve Smith > Jerry Rice

[cdandi1]

To get an idea of Smitty's potential greatness..Moose is 16th all time in career receptions with 860 in front of guys like Shannon Sharpe, Keyshawn Johnson, Michael Ervin, Andre Rison, Larry Centers, Steve Largent, etc. Moose is also in the top 20 WR's all time in receiving yards. We can all agree, as much as we loved Moose, Smitty is the superior player. Ik this doesn't have much to do with the thread. But, to mention Jerry Rice for the integrity of this thread...he did have TWO, legend qb's throwing the pigskin to him. Give smitty those guys...and hte sky is the limit.

^ True. But he still was great. He even had a couple good years in Oakland at 40 something

[cdandi1]

def, Jerry was great...and that show displayed some eye popping catches and YAC.

[Jangler]

Yep, most of his catches were little 6-8 yard slants and he would take them to the house. Speed kills and it helps to have hands.

Rice wasn't exceptionally fast. Only ran a 4.7 40. He just knew how to avoid tackles and how to put himself in position to score.

[Jangler]

Not sure what's going on here...

[Khyber53]

He played eight years of High School football.

Receiving fullbacks FTW

I'm sure the OP was referring to Rice's work ethic, and I completely agree. The guy worked his ass off for everything he achieved. I remember Young saying Rice was the only person on the field training...the day after they won the superbowl.
