Jerry Rice is known as the greatest wide receiver of all time has accomplished so much in career. A wide receiver known for his career from 85 to 05, mainly with the San Fransisco 49ers. Rice is a 13 year Pro Bowler, 3x Super Bowl Winner, and holds multiple records such as receptions and more than 6000 yards ahead in the receiving yards category.

Jerry Rice to many is known as the greatest NFL player of all time, in regards to his ability to change the dynamics of the wide receiver position and not known for dropping passes. The dropping of the passes come from so many different factors, such as large hands, great hand eye coordinator and even some give credit to the precise throwing ability of Steve Young. Rice has been able to be an example to so many guys for some many years and made catches to solidify himself as one of the greatest Hall of Famers.

There's one big issue that has arrived at center stage. Has he cheated the game? This usually comes up in every greats journey through their life as an athlete. I mean, he did come from a small college in Mississippi Valley State, where he was nicknamed "World" because there wasn't a ball in the world he couldn't catch. But there seems to be something to that. Nobody really knows much dirt on him and in the media world we live in, there has to be.

Well, Mr. Rice did an interview and stated that he had used stickum on his gloves to get a different feel for the ball when he was able to catch it. The question that comes is, does that separate itself from cheating? Stickum was banned in the NFL in 1981. Has Jerry Rice put the asterisk next to his name now because he has announced it? I'm not sure what the situation will become of this but we will soon find out the results?
