JERRY RICEAUTOGRAPHED 49ERS JERSEY You are bidding on a great San Francisco 49'ers Jersey signed by the all time NFL Receiver in foorball, Jerry Rice, In1985, breaking in as an NFL rookie, Rice admitted he was scared and dropped the ball more than usual. "I was thinking through every step of a complicated offense," he said, "instead of using natural reactions." San Francisco coach Bill Walsh stuck with him, and a 10-catch, 241-yard game against the Los Angeles Rams in December put him on course. The next year Rice led the league with 1,570 yards and 15 touchdown receptions and had 86 catches. In 1987, he was the NFL's Player of the Year when he scored a league-high 23 touchdowns, including at least one in all 12 non-strike games. The following season he was MVP of Super Bowl XXIII with 11 catches and 215 yards as the 49ers beat the Cincinnati Bengals 20-16. Joe Montana, who threw 55 touchdown passes to Rice. Rice could cut like no other receiver, explosively at full blast, which put cornerbacks on their heels. He could outjump defenders to balls. And his hands -- big and toughened by his early bricklaying days and yet sensitive -- were incomparable. Rice wouldn't rely on physical gifts alone, a characteristic that went back to his hard-working childhood. Meticulous almost to the point of fixation, he catalogued the tendencies of defensive backs, played practice drills as if they were games, and built a strict health-food diet and conditioning regimen. Until sitting out 14 games in 1997 because of two serious knee injuries, Rice had never missed a game at any level, a span of 19 seasons. He played 189 consecutive non-strike NFL games, some of them hurt. He played the 1995 Super Bowl against the San Diego Chargers with a strained shoulder, a first-quarter injury, and caught 10 passes, three for touchdowns. In 1992, he broke Steve Largent's touchdown reception record with his 101st. In 1994, he passed Jim Brown to become the league's all-time touchdown leader with 127. The following season, he broke Charlie Hennigan's 34-year-old record for single-season receiving yards (1,746) with 1,848. He also set the career receiving yardage record that year, going to 14,040 yards with a 108-yard day against the Saints. In 1998, the year after his knee injuries, Rice combined with quarterback Steve Young to become the NFL's all-time top scoring duo with 80 touchdown passes as well as breaking Art Monk's record of 183 consecutive games with a reception. In June 2001 the 49ers released Rice because of salary-cap problems. The Oakland Raiders signed him and Rice responded by having his 13th and 14th 1,000-yard receiving seasons, gaining 1,139 on 83 catches with nine touchdowns in 2001 and 1,211 yards on 92 receptions with seven TDs the next year. The only player with more than 20,000 receiving yards, Rice had 21,597 on 1,456 catches through 2002. His consecutive-game streak of making a reception stood at a mind-boggling 257. In 2002, Rice scored his 200th touchdown and became the NFL's leader in yards from scrimmage and all-purpose yards, breaking Walter Payton's records of 21,264 and 21,804. "That means he gets himself open, even against triple teams," said Young, who threw 85 TD passes to Rice. "Think about some of his accomplishments and through generations of defenses, he's still getting open."
