I'm really looking forward to the Hall of Fame ceremonies. It's going to be unbelievable - just crazy. I'm looking forward to thanking all the fans for inspiring me to go out there and play my best football each and every game. Jerry Rice
I think the thing about that was I was always willing to work; I was not the fastest or biggest player but I was determined to be the best football player I could be on the football field and I think I was able to accomplish that through hard work. Jerry Rice
Defensive backs are the best players on the field. But when you get an exceptional player like a Deion Sanders or a Darrell Green - these guys are fast and they have very good technique. You have to work a little harder. Jerry Rice
I've grown over the years and I know how to adapt to situations, where I can go into a situation where there's a crowd of people and just take over. But pretty much I'm off to myself. And I'm totally committed to the game of football. That's why I've had so much success. Jerry Rice
There is still a lot of football in me and I enjoy watching the players go out there and be the best players they can possibly be. Jerry Rice
My work ethic came from my parents and my fear of failure. I came from a small, predominantly black school and I didn't want to let them down. Jerry Rice
If I should get selected into the Hall of Fame, I'd be able to say 'thank you' to all the legends that are in the Hall of Fame. And also say thank you to my teammates, and also to all the fans. It's going to be like a dream come true. Jerry Rice
You know, I never looked down the road and said, 'Hey look, one day, the Hall of Fame.' It's always about playing each and every game 100 percent and I thank my teammates for getting me into the Hall because football is a team sport, not an individual sport. Jerry Rice
Jerry Rice quote: "Like I said, repetition in practice and hard work."
Like I said, repetition in practice and hard work. Jerry Rice
Monday Night Football. That was everything to me because you get a chance to show everybody what you're capable of. It's only two teams on that Monday night. Jerry Rice
My agent said, 'Jerry, Dancing With the Stars - they want you on there.' I said, 'Ain't no way. I'm not going to do that.' Then he came back to me again, and he kept putting pressure on me. I said, 'All right, I'll give it a try.' Jerry Rice
Jerry Rice quote: "I was just a small boy from Mississippi, and now little kids..."
I was just a small boy from Mississippi, and now little kids are going to identify with me through this game. Jerry Rice
The things that are happening to me are unbelievable. I'm actually busier right now than when I played football. This is almost like I'm coming back out of retirement. It will be fun to see myself in the game. Jerry Rice
Jerry Rice quote: "I think what people might not really know about me is that I'm..."
I think what people might not really know about me is that I'm really a shy individual. Jerry Rice
Montana and I had a chemistry that was unbelievable. When I first came into the league he told me I added five years to his career, and I just think we complimented each other very well and were able to do some amazing things out on the football field. Jerry Rice
