The ball in the hands of Jerry Rice often ended up in the end zone. Like father, like son, it seems.
Brenden Rice collected a Utah punt at the Colorado 19 on Saturday and 81 yards later was untouched into the end zone.

Brenden Rice has some of the same moves and savvy his dad had during a Hall of Fame career that earned him the title as the G.O.A.T. when it came to wideouts and players, in general.
Brenden’s dad put up some amazing college stats:
Jerry Rice had 50 touchdown receptions at Mississippi Valley. As a sophomore, Rice caught 66 passes for 1,133 yards and seven touchdowns. The next year he set NCAA Division I-AA records for receptions (102) and receiving yards (1,450). As a senior, he broke his own marks for receptions (103) and receiving yards (1,682) and his 27 touchdown receptions in 1984 set the NCAA mark for all divisions. Rice finished ninth in the 1984 Heisman Trophy voting and finished his college career with 301 catches for 4,693 yards.
