NFL Hall of Fame wide receiver Jerry Rice is maybe the best to ever play at his position.
However, on Saturday, he was just a proud dad ready to watch and critique his son, former USC wide receiver Brenden Rice, as the latter tested in the 2024 NFL combine.
As Brenden Rice participated in Saturday’s wide receiver drills for eligible combine prospects, his dad Jerry Rice had an in-the-moment coaching note for his son while both were appearing on NFL Network.
It’s really not every day where you get to hear an all-time NFL talent provide commentary for his son’s combine drills, but the Rice family made sure to work that in to their experience at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Dad is a tough critic 😂 @JerryRice @BrendenRice

No matter where Brenden Rice goes in the draft this April, he’ll already have one of his biggest fans cheering him on in his dad.
Even though Jerry Rice had some ideas on what his son could work on, we have no doubt he’ll be the first person available to help Brenden Rice reach his potential.
