Rice makes his mark

During Rice’s rookie season, he struggled with a steady succession of dropped passes, and fans were questioning whether Walsh had made a sound decision.

Rice took his game to a level that may never be matched. In 20 seasons with the 49ers, Raiders and Seahawks (for whom he played his final 11 games as a 42-year-old), Rice caught 1,549 passes for 22,895 yards and 197 touchdowns – all records by a wide margin. No player has crossed the goal line more – Rice, with 10 rushing TDs, is the league’s all-time leader with 207 scores.
