Jerry Rice hands Tom Brady GOAT status

After winning seven Super Bowl rings, no one can argue that Tom Brady is the greatest football player of all time. 

When Tom Brady first signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, how many folks outside of New England and Florida actually thought he’d be able to win a Super Bowl in his first year with his new team? Not many.

Yet, everyone who doubted Brady once again looks foolish, as the future Hall-of-Famer just took down the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday to bring home his seventh Super Bowl ring. Make no mistake about it, folks. Brady is no question the GOAT, and Jerry Rice is here to tell you that’s now fact.

Jerry Rice has made it clear he thinks Tom Brady is the GOAT

If you’re going to want to listen to anyone about the GOAT debate, it’s certainly Rice. He’ll go down in history as one of the best players we’ve ever seen hit the gridiron. Throughout his incredible 20-year career, Rice set all kinds of NFL records after hauling in 1,549 receptions for 22,895 yards and 197 touchdowns. Those stats are just ridiculous.

While Rice most definitely is in the GOAT conversation, he understands that the title no question belongs to Brady. Rice won three Super Bowls with the San Francisco 49ers, which isn’t even half of what Brady’s been able to accomplish with his seven.

The crazy thing about the signal-caller is he didn’t look like he missed a step whatsoever this year despite being 43 years old. Brady will turn 44 in August, but has already said he’ll be returning to Tampa Bay next year to try and defend the title.

Who knows, Brady very well could keep on playing even after his contract is up. Don’t be shocked if Brady ends up winning another Super Bowl before he eventually does end up hanging up his cleats.
