San Francisco 49ers - Jerry Rice

While Steve Young was the main provider for Jerry Rice's touches, Rice's individual accolades are simply untouchable. During an era where receivers weren't as coddled as they are today, Jerry Rice achieved the impossible. Rice made the game look effortless. While he wasn't the fastest receiver the world has ever seen, his route running ability could ditch your team's greatest cover corner with ease. His hands were soft and pillowy, instantaneously stopping football's that looked like speeding bullets without a single bobble.

After being selected 16th overall in the 1985 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers, Jerry Rice would spend sixteen years out of his twenty-season career with the Bay Area squad. To this very day, Jerry Rice holds an insane fourteen NFL records including most career receiving yards (22,895), most career receptions (1,549), and most career touchdown receptions (197). It also doesn't hurt that he's a 3x Super Bowl Champion, 1x Super Bowl MVP (XXIII), 13x Pro Bowler, and 10x First-Team All-Pro recipient. There's no denying that Jerry Rice is the greatest receiver of all-time.
