- They were the best at their poistions, one-time teammates and birds of a different feather, "A Football Life: Jerry Rice" dives into one of the rivalries that defined the '90s, that of Jerry Rice and Deion Sanders.

“You know darn well we gone beat the brakes off San Diego”
Deion was a cold piece man lol.
Yes indeed.
🐐
Well they did
That 49er team was stacked
Brakes
THREE DAYS! Who the hell goes to the team facility to run routes THREE DAYS after winning the freakin' SUPER BOWL?! Jerry is something else.
ZhangtheGreat Right! I remember a story by Mike Holdgrum. Saying at the Pro Bowl in Hawaii after a practice. ALL the players stood around and watched Jerry workout on the field for 30 minutes. Running sprints, routes, etc. These are the best players in the world, and even they are admiring his work ethic.
ZhangtheGreat A once in a generation talent who cared about his craft. Jerry is a throwback, old school hard worker. Kobe is the same way. The two are a lot alike.
+Kanishka Ray
Michael Jordan was the same way. Guy was basically suicidal when it came to winning. Him, Jerry, and Kobe are some of my favorite athletes in history.
Benji Torralba Agreed. Taking nothing away from MJ.
+ZhangtheGreat yup, when Kobe when to Hakeem after his 4th champion ring.
#champions #youknowwhy
Best wide reciever and best corner on the same team damn
+Ernesto Leal-Isla Zamora
Craig, Montana, and Lott were gone by the time Sanders got there
Kplower Gamingz
He's not even top 10. Maybe top 20... Maybe
But Ernesto didn't say "best". He said "great"
+clark
Barry Sanders all the way baby. Although I loved the way Walter Payton played. He fucken through his body out there and punished defenders. Barry embarrassed them. Barry was better but much love for Walter as well
+miggizle85 *threw his body I mean
+James Dixon Jr. i feel like that is exactly what Sander was saying to Rice lol.
Like dude.. chill.. i am going to make sure they don't score, and you are going to make sure we DO score. So wtf is the problem right now lol
"Super Bowl you know we're going to win by at least 20" 😂😂
R P he wasn't wrong... 😂
True
In the early to mid 90's the Cowboys vs 49ers game was the Super Bowl. 2 powerhouse loaded teams. Even Jimmy admitted he stressed about San Fran, but not in the Superbowl.
All they had to worry about was Junior Seau (RIP) giving someone a concussion.
Chiefs doe
Imagine Deion sanders on the 49ers with Ronnie Lott. Best secondary ever
@@fml5910a legendary*
Wyatt Moody earl sucks
Also Steve Atwater
@@fml5910 *an*
MigratingFawn5 Yt please Steve would never leave Denver. Dion was the first to ring chase and honestly outside of Tony G and Revis only one to really do it. It's why I hate the NBA and other leagues though every league has something NFL has this, NHL has a legit cap, MLB used to be like the NFL in this then guys money cased.
"How do you get rid of God?" That is one hell of a statement from one legend about another. That is some hardcore respect right there.
it gave me the chills when he said that!
That shit was corny nothing about it was incredible and he gave Montana way too much praise when he’s just a normal man
You replace him with Jesus.
MJSpiritual idc about the respect he should never ever ever compare him with God
ChiefsFan Football football god
People like Jerry Rice and Deon Sanders Never had domestic violence problems. This was when football was worth watching.
AMEN.
Neither did T.O never ran a foul with the law 1st Ballot
@@TripAces Absolutely right and they never tapped a policewoman with a car either unlike Moss
It still is worth watching lol!
Well I’m the 90’s we didn’t have Facebook Instagram all of these apps tmz…who knows what they did
At one time Jerry Rice had the most receiving TDs with a quarterback (Steve Young), and he was trailed by himself with Joe Montana. That's a crazy stat to have.
5:40 The way Deion Sanders says "Wednesday" has been stuck in my head for literally years
He has that Florida southern accent.
He left out the dne in Wednesday. Wesday 😂😂😂😂
Got to see Jerry Rice play football at Mississippi Valley State. Men among boys. Team averaged almost 60 points a game.
Greg gee
Very jealous. I would’ve loved to be able to see that talent and athleticism at a small college level. Must have seemed downright unfair
I don't want to be that kinda of guy but the old NFL/NBA was so cool, trash talk all day long and of course great players
J P that’s because now everything is on social media
it was a lot tougher too now if you touch a NBA player when they’re shooting it’s a foul and when a NFL qb gets hit in the foot it’s roughing the passer
Despacito47 facts the rules are basically “don’t touch” now
There was no social media back then so everything felt real and from the heart.
Also in general life in the 90s was tougher especially for the youth. Lot more crime and problems.
It also doesn’t help that the NBA and NFL is trying to take away the “machismo” in the game. That means less trash talking, less fighting, less hard fouls/hits, etc.
3 Super Bowls 28 receptions, 512 yards and 7 Touchdowns. He was so dominant that’s insane!
So in SBs he averaged:
9 catches
170 yards
2 TDs
That's the king
with two of those being blowouts so he probably worked 3 quarters vs. DEN and SD.
Imagine if Sanders stayed in SF for the rest of the 1990s. Would they win AT LEAST 1 more SB and the Cowboys' team of the 1990s would be very disputed at that point?
@@rlouie05 still a decent chance cowboys win in 95. Prime didn’t really get to 100% that season.
The 90's Cowboys -vs- 49ers NFC championship games were the real superbowls. I loved watching those two teams play in the playoffs! You can feel the hate between the two teams when they played.
I respect Rice’s work ethic but I like Deion’s approach - let’s work hard and have fun.
The bigger story was that I had a Lamborghini delivered to me in front of the hotel 😂
7:50 The look in Steve's eye when he tells this story gives me chills. Jerry the GOAT
Now their sons will play compete in the Colorado versus USC game 😮😮😮
Without Deion Sanders the 49ers don't win that Super Bowl. He was the missing piece for the 49ers to beat the Cowboys in order for them to get to the Super Bowl.
Allen Daniel one player does not make a team a super bowl contender or winner it takes a team effort but i do agree that him being on the team fucking intimidated other teams lol i loved him as a niner he had some sick ass INTS i still have his on field players jersey i paid like $249.00 for it but its signed by primetime now 👍💪
svtkilr of course one player can not make a team but Deion gave them that edge because of his on the field presence. Plus they needed him because the 49ers didn't have a player that was a threat on defense, that the Cowboys didn't fear.
him plus Gary plummer ricky jackson Lee Woodall tim McDonald bryant young and let's not forget one of the biggest pieces Ken Norton Jr who was the Cowboys defensive captain. the biggest difference in 92 and 93 was the Cowboys had the best defense and the 49ers had one of the worst. in 94 that changed with the addition of those players I mentioned. the next year in 95 the 49ers whooped the Cowboys. the Cowboys had deion and the 49ers were without Steve young
Dallas really lost their swag after Jimmy left. The only time the Barry Switzer era Cowboys beat SF was in 1996 during the regular season. Jimmy's Cowboys were much more disciplined and knew how to beat the 49ers. Jerry Jones' ego ruined the Cowboys.
OfficialGrizzly exactly cause once Jimmy left the players started to get out of control. Barry was too relaxed and lot of players on that team felt like Barry should've did more. And not to mention Jerry wanted all the credit for the guy's that Jimmy brought in.
THE GREATEST RECEIVER EVER
THE GREATEST CORNER EVER
ON THE SAME TEAM....
ONE OF MY FAVORITE SUPER BOWL TEAMS #199449ERS
This was when football was real football
True
Yup when Rice would cheat and use stickum
besides that.
How about the 50s and 60s football where they didnt cheat, beat women and get paid for it
Football is actually better these days. The players are bigger faster and stronger
“Biggest story should’ve been that I had a Lamborghini delivered to me” this guy is the goat
Jerry is still the best WR to ever set foot on the field. An incredible career and an absolute legend of the game.
100
Not better than randy moss
@@lukey1210nah he is .
Owens is the Goat end of discussion
@@javiersanchez1661Megatron imo but to each their own (physicality not awards)
this is kinda like shaq and kobe
Josh Omigie same thing I was thinking
100%
This ain't basketball do
@@FrankFTP but it's kinda like it relationship wise
Except they’re equal
Jerry knew that Montana's game elevated in the clutch, the same couldn't be said about Young... Joe's two seasons in KC should have been two more rings for him in SF
That was the golden era of the NFC because it was before the patriots got to be where they were and before the steelers got back on track. Only 3 times between the 1981-1999 Super Bowls did an AFC team win a Super Bowl (1983 raiders and the two from Denver in late 90s).
The Redskins the niners the cowboys and the Giants really dominated. But the salary cap remedied a lot of that
I love how despite their rivalry they both help each other out to achieve things in ways, like dion strapping in jerrys chin strap when he had a hurt shoulder.
Jerry caught 28 passes for 7 touchdowns and 512 yards in the Super Bowl. G.O.A.T. point blank and period.
Superbowls*
7:52-8:14 that’s some of the greatest motivation for anyone who wants accomplish anything
The difference between Jerry Rice and Deion Sanders was simple! Deion Sanders had all the talent in the world, but he had no heart, and expected everything to be handed on a sliver platter, because he was so talented. Jerry Rice, came from a Division 2 school, and worked his ass off since the moment he was drafted. He never took for granted being an NFL player, and never took a day off.
I have a lot more respect for Jerry Rice than I have for Deion Sanders!
+Ty Tratar You're right about the part about Deion being so talented but lacking some of the work ethic, however, Deion played with a much heart as about any player that ever played. Deion loved the game of football, and he would always dance around field and play with everything he had. To say Deion played with no heart is just flat-out wrong.
Deion is still the greatest corner of all time though
Deion worked hard too he just didn't live the game like what's wrong with enjoying the life you created for yourself
+Ty Tratar Miss Valley St isn't a D2 school tho. All of the HBCU's in the SWAC are D1AA not D2
+Xisean Anthony maybe it was back then
Well said Steve! Jerry Rice earned everything he got. Amazing work ethic!
Water covers 2/3 of our earth and Deion covers the other third.
How can you not love Jerry Rice. The real GOAT 🐐
This is how Jerry Rice earned the Greatest Player of All Time. This is what he fought and fought for and he earned. What a rock solid player, role model and athlete. Too bad so few of you exist today.
I’m from Australia. Before I understood hardly anything about football, I heard about Jerry Rice. That dude earned his fame.
Jerry rice is the best reciever and probably best NFL player ever bc of his work ethic. He wasn't the fastest, couldn't leap the highest, wasn't the strongest, but he was determined to win and cared about nothing else. He came to work everyday did his job and left without any drama. A true class act
Nobody had a better Work Ethic than Jerry Rice.
You can tell when a wide receiver is great
1. doesn't matter who throwing him the ball he'll still accomplish what he dream about as a kid
2. doesn't talk much let his skill and hard work pay off
3. 3 days after winning the SB he's back at it no break time still catching ball
4. becoming the legend he is and leaving behind nothing giving it his all
Jerry Rice one of the best ever to play that position 💪🙏
There will never ever be another Jerry Rice!! Ever! Guy was different and Godlike player 🙏
Those 49er teams will never be matched. The following season was the beginning of the Salary Cap era, which brought an end to stock-piling expensive free agents onto one team. The talent is spread out across the league now, so you don't have teams like the 49ers & Cowboys of the early to mid-90s anymore ... those squads were LOADED with superstars. I miss those days.
E Clarke not good for the league...I like the way it is now.
the cowboyz when they had 22 8 88 will never be matched
Hawo Yusuf This weekend cried out for a return to outstanding teams. Just awful football all across the board. NFL is now one elite team (Pats) and then a huge drop-off to a few "barely above average" teams, followed by a huge pile of awful.
Jerry Rice was a pleasure to watch. It began for me as a 9 year old kid and ended a few months before my 30th birthday. Great memories.
“We gon beat the brakes off San Diego 😂😂😂
As a young 9ers fan in 90's. I want to see Deion Sanders more years as a 9ers.
2001 season I was building the Raider training camp facility in Napa valley, I would be on the training site at 5am Jerry would be alone on the field at 6 or 7 am running and training, the team would not start training till 9 am on the field. The players said Jerry could run away from anyone any time he wanted to. I only wished Al would let Gruden do what he was capable of doing. Grudin proved it he took the Raiders and Tampa to the superbowl. It has not been easy being a raider fan. When the owner is fickle and uncommited it is hard to get excited.
man, the good ol'dayz!
Growing up as a 49er fan and all, I was used to Deion Sanders on the opposing team of the Niners. I did enjoy seeing Rice line up with Sanders. I also remember being highly amused when I heard Sanders signed 1-year with SF. He came from the Atlanta Falcons who were at the time division rivals. AMAZING Cornerback but his showboating angered you. However, for 1 year, he was *OUR* AMAZING, showboating CB. He was well worth the price and I only wish the 49ers retained him longer. You had to build to beat the early-mid-90s Cowboys, and Sanders was a part of 2 of the Super Bowl Championships between the Niners and Cowboys.
For wide receivers! Jerry Rice will always be the GOAT!
Was there ever a more confident player than Deion 6:33 or a more humble player than Rice... Offense, Defense extreme opposites but legends.
The G.O.A.T. Nuff said.
Yes stickum is the greatest.
taerG si sibannaC You can't deny his work ethic and spectacular route running. Sorry but he still HOF. Still the G.O.A.T. Go cry somewhere else. HAHA!
salamander337 blah blah blah. Stickum helped him catch the ball, so he cheated. plain and simple. You quit crying.
taerG si sibannaC He drop a lot of easy catches too so it's not like he caught all his passes. Otherwise he'd be the perfect receiver. He's the best not because of his catches. He's the best because of his route running and hard work ethic. Your crying ain't gonna derail his legacy. He's still a HOF'er and still the G.O.A.T. Go cry to New England about how bad they're cheating. HAHA!!!
salamander337 I thought he was the greatest because of his hands and his spectacular catches? And yeah at the beginning of his career he would drop lots of balls. His fans even boed his sorry ass until he started using stickum and then jerry butterfingers rice was no more.
"we gon work but we gon play" best deion quote ever loll
😅
This was the best era of football. Growing up in the 90s, all these players were my idols and the reason I played! Football will never be the same.
2000s also had iconic players such TB, Peyton, Ray Lewis, Gronk, etc!
Love the team always blow my mind the heart and soul of SF
i laughed when I heard " u gotta fake number 80 over there...crybaby " lol
KraceeSteez Alvin Harper please soon as he went to Tampa Bay he was never heard of again what a joke
Damien Hargrove haha well we only remember one 80 now
t
Lol... Rice was probably the most mentally tough players in history.
Lolol that was funny...He might of been the first sports Troll.
especially with these past seasons this video makes me happy to say im a forty niner
TheLakerFan 24 He's saying even though these past season have been awful, I'm still proud to say after watching this video that I'm a 49er.
TheLakerFan 24 lol why even watch the video if you hate them so much?
TheLakerFan 24 shut the fuck up hater go 49ers
TheLakerFan 24 key word right now historically top 3
You're an actual 49'er or a 49'er fan?
I know it is off as in sport, but this reminded me of Shaq and Kobe when Shaq was with the Lakers. they would clash a lot since Kobe had the same mentality as Rice Always focused and ready to go. Shaq and Deion both are great and focused when needed, but also joked around. Love this!- Pats fan (Yes, Laker fan too)
There was really nothing like the 49er cowboy rivalry in the 90s
hahaha two HOFers but two very opposite individuals. respect real football
Lol Deion. So cocky I love it
He’s confident not cocky the two always get misunderstood
He's confident not cocky
@@dominicmartinez631 if Deion is not cocky, the word is meaningless.
Anthony Lodge it is

What a perfect illustration of Jerrys v Deions approach. Love this.
LEGENDS IN THE MAKING... THE GREATEST WR OF ALL TIME... MY 2 FAVORITE PLAYERS PRIME AND THA PLAYMAKER
I feel like Jerry Rice Personifies dedication man.
One of the best rivalries ever
We will never experience another like Jerry rice. Those days were the best NFL to watch. Now a days its just to much drama...thanks Jerry for all those great memories...
+Lucky Go Lucky 5 dollars says your wrong, as long as the nfl continues we'll get at least 5 more Jerry rices, and at least 7 more Ray Lewis.
+Fucyuim spedermn Bullshit. I'll go on record as saying there will never be another receiver that is a Pro Bowler at 40 putting up a 92 catch, 1211 yard season and being the best offensive weapon on a Super Bowl team like Rice was with the '02 Raiders. Millenials like you think that athleticism is a substitute for intangibles. The current NFL product is vastly inferior to the one Rice played in.
+Fucyuim spedermn , No we won't. That's called SPECULATING! Just like there will never be another Micheal Jordan in the NBA, there will NEVER EVER be another Jerry Rice. I hate the Raiders, but to put a 92 catch, 1,211 yard season is pretty damn impressive to do at 40 years old.
Great video. The only issue is that the rivalry would continue after 94/95, when Deion went to the Cowboys. They would compete there too. But again great video, the 94/95 Niners were like a dream team.
+David Mulhern But in '95 it was Packers vs Cowboys for the NFC title and arguably the real Super Bowl.
Sanders was a superior athlete where everything came so easy to him. He was just phenomenally gifted. Guys like him don't need to lift or run. Rice was also a superior athlete but he believed it was a sin to not nurture his talent with incredibly hard work. I easily see the friction here.
So glad we got to see Deion on Rice. Sometimes you don't get it like TO v Revis.
He says it like it is. Gotta love him.
Both legends 🔥😤‼️
TOP 3 ALL TIME WIDE RECEIVERS.
1. J RICE
2. R MOSS
3. M IRVIN
1: Rice
2: Hutson
3: Largent
Pretty good
Replace Irvin with Owens I'm a Cowboys fan but Irvin should be 4 or 5
+DollarNinja - truu
1: Rice before turning 30
2: Rice after turning 30
3: Moss
this rivalry is great when deion sanders went to the dallas cowboys, it give us 49ers fan a really good match up with jerry rice and him.
I never paid much attention to Deion Sanders Jerry Rice feud. Football is Football. I was a Cowboys fan growing up grade school 80s because of Sanders and Troy Aikeman days.
My respect fro Jerry Rice just grew just on another post I was saying that Randy Moss was the GOAT I may have to change my answer Jerry Rice GOAT.
Change it again to Tom Brady
Wow simply the best
This man is the best wide receiver ever to live
As someone who originally is from Detroit, I became a 49ers fan after they won SB 16 in Detroit at the Silverdome.Bill Walsh was the head coach but the wide receivers on that team were Dwight Clark 87, and Freddie Solomon 88.The 1981 season was the beginning of the glory years of the 49ers.
Ricky Watters should be in the HOF.
+Daniel Kelegian Hall of Very Good. You know who is actually more deserving that NO ONE EVER mentions? Fred Taylor. Look at the numbers...more yards on fewer carries (no one with as many carries has Taylor's ypc [4.6] that isn't in the HOF) and he did it basically being stuck as a part time guy more than a few years.
+Manu Ginobilis Bald Spot That stat is amazing considering he missed 55 games out of 208 he could have played in. He was injured a lot. Also, Ricky Watters played only ten seasons. His numbers are phenomenal for a ten year career.
+Daniel Kelegian I get nostalgic myself from time to time but.......pump ya brakes. HOF? Come on now.
+Jonathan Blaze Just under 15000 total yards, 78 total TD's in 144 games. Why not??
Daniel Kelegian 4.1 yards per carry and never rushed for over 1.500 yards in a season. He was good. But not one of the best RB's in history.
Joe Starkey calling 49er and Cal games are some of my fondest memories
"Touchdown 49ers!" by Joe Starkey. Been a 49er fan my entire life, I share Jerry Rice's middle name AND his birthday, although I didn't find that out until my late 20s. I started watching the season that they beat Cincinnati the first time in Super Bowl 16 at the Silverdome. Every time I think back in a fit of nostalgia, I think of Starkey saying that. It always sounded so unique. Now any time I hear it on highlights, I just smile. A different time.
@@richardbets4825 You can still hear Mr Starkey call Cal Football games. Please listen while he is still behind the Mic. I do not know when he may retire. I listen to him at least a couple of times a year just to hear him call a game.
@@thelastjohnwayne Yessss! Thank you for the info, sir! I appreciate it. Too kind.
Underestimated His Impact On An Off The Field... Dude is A Living Legend.. 👍🏿
Great clip right there
I was a 9year old kid thinking the NFL is scary back then😂😂💪
I loved how Jerry Rice got 149 yards LOL 😂
The two best players at their respective positions EVER. Period. No arguments allowed.
Rumor has it, he’s still out there running routes..
PRIMETIME BABY!!!
5:30 We talkin bout practice man. How silly is that. We talkin bout practice!
The #1 player and the #6 player of all time on the same team is the most nutz thing I could ever see lol
Incredible the all time greatest WR played against the all time greatest cover corner
Tom Brady: I'm the real goat!
Jerry Rice: Hold my beer
I know my profile picture is OBJ, but everyone knows that the real wide receiver, was Jerry Rice. He was the beast mode of football, before it was overwhelmed by all of the new style players. If you don't like Jerry Rice, go to the hospital for a checkup.
Love both of these players!
Kobe said this gave him the motivation to be great💯
I could only imagine the battles Rice and Sanders had on the practice field for that one season
HE ALWAYS WORKED HARD. HE ALWAYS GRINDED. EVERYBODY KNEW HE WAS THE BEST, BE HE PUSHED HIMSELF LIKE HE WASNT EVEN ON TE TOTEM POLE. JERRY RICE WANTED NOTHING LESS BUT TO BE GREAT WHENEVER HE STRAPPED THEM UP, LACED THEM UP. HE WASNT GOING TO ACCEPT ANYTHING LESS FROM HIMSELF. HE IS NOT JUST THE GREATEST WIDE RECEIVER THAT EVER LIVED, HE IS ARGUABLY THE BEST ATHLETE AS WELL.
That's what she said
DASHAN WHEELER did you know jerry rice actually used stickum whitch is against the league rules at the time. so yeah he cheated.
+Aj Ku so stickum makes you run good routes, does it make you faster, no, dumbass. His dad was a bricksmith and that's what developed his hands. Don't tell me that a lot of people didn't use stickum at his time, because that's bs. You're obviously a complete dumbass and don't know a shit about football.
+TheNoobWithEbola The 49er's also had their players spray silicone on their jerseys.
+neondeion12 silicone is a slippery lubricant. Check your sources
My absolute favorite players of all time .. I started collecting football cards in 1987 because Jerry and I have 80 cards I will pass down to my son .. LETS GO NINER EMPIRE
Rice/Deion is the ultimate work vs. talent matchup. Nobody worked harder than Jerry and Nobody was more gifted than Deion.
Basketball has MJ. Football has JR
Juan Morales nope not even close
Football now has Tom Brady, let’s face it Brady has eclipsed both Rice and Brown
@@brucelee6834 Brady has never been considered to be the best QB let alone the best Player before say 2010. He was always looked at as a System player. Brady ain't the best QB ever, nor is he the best player ever. Rice is the best football player ever and Montana is the best QB ever. But you can argue that Brady is the best QB ever. I'll give you that
