Pro Football Hall of Famer Jerry Rice put in his most productive seasons with the San Francisco 49ers, catching long bombs from either the great Joe Montana or southpaw-slinging Steve Young. The 20-year NFL veteran holds almost every single record in the books a wide receiver could hold – yards, receptions, touchdown receptions – you name it and Rice's name appears at the top. This is the 49ers jersey Rice wore during San Francisco’s home games in 1995, one of his best statistical seasons as he posted career highs in receptions (122) and receiving yards (1,848) to go along with 15 touchdowns. The red jersey has the NFL logo patch at the V-neck below which is Rice's iconic number "80" in white tackle twill. Wilson label is sewn in the lower left front tail with size "46" strip tag affixed. A separate white strip cloth tag with "95" in red is sewn beside it. Rice’s number "80" appears on each shoulder and a Wilson logo patch is sewn on the left and right sleeves. The back features "RICE" in white tackle twill letters on a red name plate across the shoulders. The greatest wide receiver in football history has signed this Hall of Fame-worthy jersey on the back '0' in 8-9/10 black marker. An MVP hologram is affixed below the signature. The jersey shows moderate game use with some turf scuffs and contact marks, but presents mostly clean as is typical with Rice gamers. He was known to change at halftime and his exceptional route-running made it difficult for opposing corners to even lay a hand on him.
Includes COA from former 49ers Team President Carmen Policy. Full LOA from PSA/DNA (V05731) for autograph.
