Rice stopped at 95.7 The Game recently and praised those who still work hard to keep us safe and help those affected by the coronavirus, saying “during the pandemic, the frontline people are the real goats.”
You’ve been saying it from the beginning how much you appreciate those who put their lives ahead of yours.
Why argue with greatness?
Because of his footballing legacy, he leaves such an illustrious career.
The Hall of Fame wide receiver won 13 Pro Bowl and 10 All-Pro picks in 21 seasons. He also won three Super Bowl rings in the process.
With 1,548 career catches, 22,895 career receiving yards, and 208 total touchdowns, he knows one thing … or several, to be placed in such prominence.

He is as good as a boy on the field as he is off it.
