He holds most of the league's receiving records, including the most career receiving yards (22,895), receptions (1,549), touchdown receptions (197), and most seasons of 1,000-or-more receiving yards (14).
Rice spent 16 seasons with San Francisco after the team made him the No. 16 overall pick in 1985, and won three Super Bowls with the team. He was the Super Bowl XXIII MVP, was named to 13 Pro Bowls, and is a 10-time first-team All-Pro. Rice was also part of the NFL 75th Anniversary All-Time Team.

The NFL 100 All-Time Team is made up of a roster of 100 players and 10 coaches deemed "the greatest" at their respective positions. NFL Network is unveiling the roster over six-weeks. A 26-person voting panel made up of coaches, team executives, former players, and members of the media are deciding who makes it onto the NFL 100 All-Time Team.
