@@MrZola1234 watch film my guy. first off he's the greatest route runner of the modern era and he's taken more 5 yard slants to the house than anyone. Running a 4.6 40 has nothing to do with it considering 1) Jerry trained endlessly so he probably got faster and 2) track athletes know that your initial get off is the most important. Can literally be a 0.1-0.3 difference
I would literally say that those Washington Redskins teams literally kept the Montana/rice 49ers out of the Super Bowl, at least two times if not, three times. There wouldn’t even be any talk about Tom Brady being the goat if Washington didn’t stop those 49ers teams backinto the 80s
Jerry rice my alltime favorite athlete... but... he can't speak until called out? I know people are like. "I hate today's athletes that want to be friendly with players on other teams" At 50, I don't get that anymore. They are supposed to be "professionals" that means something. That means... you should be able to reach across the line before game and ask that man "how's your family.. be safe.. ima smoke you today" then GO AT IT. that's a professional. If you have to dehumanized your opponent to compete... that's crazy. Now if certain athletes have "issues" and tells another man... dont talk to me because... okay... but...."one day they aren't going to be in nfl" you might miss out on a great friend that you love competing against on another team
That was his ultimate expression of respect for you then. He didn't want to be 'friendly' because that would take away his mental aggression to beat you. That WAS him showing respect for you.
True but there are also a lot of great players that play the game like it's a game and fun is their motivation I think whatever attitude brings out your best as a player then that's the one you go with 🤷🏾♂️
It doesn’t surprise me that Darrell Green was upset that Rice wouldn’t speak to him. If there was ever a talker in the entire world, it’s Darrell Green. When he’s not running, he’s talking. Great, fun guy.
Deion said in the end it’s also why nobody likes him, he didn’t know how to have fun or be personable. It’s a game that appears to be scripted and influenced by betting money. Rice even hinted at that himself when he was a Raider, coach changed the game plan days before the Super Bowl.
There’s more to life than being great at sports. 🙏🏾 You’re here to be a humanitarian first and foremost…but people get lost in the world and forget this basic tenet of life.

Jordan was cool with a lot of cats in the league, one coach even had a conspiracy that he’d butter up opponents so they could let their guard down. That comment was so awkward that MJ dropped like 50 on him idk how the story completely goes
Prime said the same thing about Rice. He said he didn't think Rice enjoyed the ride as much as he should because he was always business, he never enjoyed himself during the process of being a successful NFL player. Too uptight....
People said that about Kobe Bryant. Both Kobe and Jerry stated that their goal was to be the greatest of all time. That's a different mentality that you need if you seriously want to accomplish that goal.
Love these stories.. I was little at the end of their primes but Jerry Rice lined up against Darrell Green was must see TV, regardless of their teams records. Two of the best to ever do it.
Fastest man in the NFL at one point in time. Green was a monster. I saw him chase down Marcus Allen from the backfield. Craziest thing ever! I thought it was humanly impossible to cover that much field that fast...... Maybe Rice was afraid to get ran down like a cheetah does a gazelle😂😂😂

LBJ at 40 years old, is doing same thing DG did in NFL at 40..out running opponents have their age! Facts! 🤫
He could still run like a 4.4 when he was almost 40, Green was crazy fast his whole career
The important thing is NOW YOU ARE BUDDIES AND IN THE HOF🎉🎉🎉
Jerry was my idol, the opponent is the enemy, dont talk to them, dont be friendly NOTHING , it's what made Jerry the GOAT 🐐
Rice was locked in and took no prisoners. One of the greatest WRs the NFL has ever seen.
No... He's one of the TWO greatest ever... That's it...
not one of the greatest, he is the greatest period.
Exactly
How many NFL players have scored 200 touchdowns
Best ever
D. Green is most definately one of the best Corner's ever. Perhaps, or maybe he wasnt
as fast as Deion, but he had World Class Speed. He could tsckle better than Deion but Id draft eithrr of them blind folded.
Maybe Rice thought it was better not to know him, instead of knowing and liking him, and losing his edge when playing against him
Yeah, Im pretty sure thats what he was trying to say. Dude was too likable I guess lol. Its one thing to be so bad, no one wants anything to do with you. Its another to be so good that a friendly rivalry cant even be friendly because it might be TOO friendly on the field 😂
G.O.A.T was invented for jerry not MJ. Jerry was that guy!!!
That can be your little secret
Actually LL Cool J invented it for himself originally
@@slimischillin7753rice was the GOAT way before LL hit the scene...and Ali was the greatest of All Times long before Rice...
@@andremiller4863 bro I’m talking about the acronym itself, thanks. Get off these dudes sack and do a history lesson
Jerry was the type of player to lock in and stayed focus on staying locked in. Jerry was always on a mission to prove to anyone that he was him
Everyone is different and motivates themselves in different ways. The best always have a chip on their shoulder. If Kobe did the same thing everyone would be praising the Mamba Mentality.
Imo that’s what makes the competition better going out of your way to be petty then when you grow old you can laugh at everything you went out of your way to do!
Green was the best cornerback i have ever seen.
Relax... Calm down... Let's hope and pray that Deion Sanders... Rod Woodson ...Darrelle Revis doesn't read your comment
@@dantemackey7471 “I HAVE EVER SEEN” it subjective bro
@@dantemackey7471 honestly Deion is the only one close. Reavis only had had like a 6-7 peak years and Woodson switched to safety after he lost a step. DG was a solid lockdown corner for 20 years. Champ deserves some love too.
You are a True Class Act and one of the best to ever play
Green should have had his number retired a long time ago,
Congratulations ❤❤❤❤
Sometimes, that’s what makes the greats great!
Facts green
Alot of sports players are superstitious. I understand we're rice is coming from.
I'm a Redskin fan an Daryl is my favorite player of all time, I wore his number 28 when I played, I even have the Redskins an the number 28 as part of my email address.
Thank you for the information
I love you Jerry love what you stand for love you brother.
Darrell was top 3 all time
Jerry Rice was so awesome as a player. I don't know anything about him other than that.
My favorite Uncle Darrell Green 💚 love this guy he is football 🏈💯
Same attitude as Jordan. And two in the goat debate.
I don’t think there’s much debate
Jordan was cool with a lot of cats in the league, one coach even had a conspiracy that he’d butter up opponents so they could let their guard down. That comment was so awkward that MJ dropped like 50 on him idk how the story completely goes
There's no debate about whether Rice is the goat WR or not, it's just a fact at this point
Darrell Green is a legend.. I remember him racing players at the old pro-bowl skills comp even after he retired 😂
Prime said the same thing about Rice. He said he didn't think Rice enjoyed the ride as much as he should because he was always business, he never enjoyed himself during the process of being a successful NFL player. Too uptight....
People said that about Kobe Bryant. Both Kobe and Jerry stated that their goal was to be the greatest of all time. That's a different mentality that you need if you seriously want to accomplish that goal.
A Whole ( Legend)!!!🔥🔥
Love Darrell Green. Cowboy fan
And that's what makes Jerry Rice Jerry Rice
Love these stories.. I was little at the end of their primes but Jerry Rice lined up against Darrell Green was must see TV, regardless of their teams records. Two of the best to ever do it.
Fastest man in the NFL at one point in time. Green was a monster. I saw him chase down Marcus Allen from the backfield. Craziest thing ever! I thought it was humanly impossible to cover that much field that fast...... Maybe Rice was afraid to get ran down like a cheetah does a gazelle😂😂😂
The old Skins snatched a playoff win from the 49ers Rice didnt like that prob
You think so? 😂
@@blacksuburban2410 I guess you didn't know that SMH
i can understand Jerry's mind-set . he had a job to do.respect the man and his game
Players treating each other like enemies was what built the NFL and NBA.
That’s the difference between sportsmanship and unsportsmanlike.
