Jerry Rice photo

Jerry Rice

Jerry Rice is widely considered the greatest wide receiver in NFL history and one of the greatest players ever to play the game. Born October 13, 1962, in Starkville, Mississippi, Rice grew up in Crawford working alongside his father, a brick mason, catching bricks on scaffolding—training that would develop his legendary hands. At Mississippi Valley State University, he shattered NCAA records with 27 touchdown receptions as a senior in 1984, earning the nickname "World" for his ability to catch anything thrown near him. Drafted 16th overall by the San Francisco 49ers in 1985 after Bill Walsh traded up to select him, Rice spent 15 seasons with the team before finishing his 20-year career with the Oakland Raiders, Seattle Seahawks, and briefly the Denver Broncos. He won three Super Bowls with San Francisco (XXIII, XXIV, XXIX) and was named Super Bowl XXIII MVP. Rice's strengths defined excellence: meticulous route running that coaches called the best they'd ever seen, legendary work ethic including off-season sprints up "The Hill" in Edgewood Park, reliable hands forged catching bricks as a youth, and unmatched clutch performance in critical moments. His durability was remarkable—playing 303 games over 20 seasons while missing only 17 regular season games. His greatest moments showcase his dominance: Super Bowl XXIII MVP—11 receptions for a Super Bowl-record 215 yards, including a crucial catch on "The Drive" to set up the game-winning touchdown with under a minute remaining; October 14, 1990 versus Atlanta—career-best five receiving touchdowns with 13 catches for 225 yards; and December 18, 1995 versus Minnesota—career-high 289 receiving yards (fifth-most in NFL history at the time) with 14 receptions and three touchdowns. Rice retired holding virtually every major receiving record: 1,549 receptions, 22,895 receiving yards, and 197 receiving touchdowns—marks still considered unbreakable. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2010 on his first ballot. After football, Rice competed on Dancing with the Stars (finishing runner-up in 2005), played competitive golf, and co-authored books including "America's Game: The NFL at 100." He launched G.O.A.T. Fuel lifestyle brand in 2019 and serves as brand ambassador for Nike and other companies.

Bill Jacobson

Bill Jacobson grew up in the small Northwest city of Tacoma. He first started acting at the age of 10 doing school theater on a regular basis. His acting teachers always looked to Bill to help carry the performances and felt he had something special that could lead him to discover his talents even more. As he grew to a man he kept up with his acting but slowed down to pursue his interest in athletics. He played high school football where he developed into a promising player. Upon graduating high school he attended Washington State University, where he majored in Journalism and minored in Psychology. His parent didn't have a lot of money and so he was accepted on the work study program and between that and a lot of loans managed to get through almost five years of school. While in school he discovered rugby and fell in love with the game. He also re-discovered his passion for acting and started focusing more on Theatre. He graduated College and started working in the corporate world in the sales arena. He seemed to have a skill in relationship building with his clients and became quite successful. In 1994 Bill had an opportunity to be transfered to Los Angeles with a large company as a territory sales manager. He didn't hesitate, packed his bags and moved down to beautiful Southern California. The next couple of years he focused on the job that brought him there but started feeling anxious about his true passion, acting. He was so close to it, surrounded by it that it started to consume him. He started taking more and more acting classes, putting together head shots, his resume, and started slowly seeking an agent. By 1998 he quit his corporate job, burnt his power ties and started acting. Within the first year of freedom, He joined The Screen Actors Guild, got an agent and landed his first film. Since then Bill has done countless indie films, National commercials, and has co-starred and guest-starred on countless TV shows.

Hank Stram photo

Hank Stram

Hank Stram spent two decades as one of the most beloved voices in football broadcasting, teaming with Jack Buck on CBS Radio to call Monday Night Football and 17 Super Bowls. Long before he sat behind a microphone, though, Stram made his name as a head coach, leading the Dallas Texans/Kansas City Chiefs through the 1960s and into a Super Bowl IV win, then closing out his coaching career with the New Orleans Saints. It was that same Super Bowl IV that set up his second act: wired for sound as the first coach ever mic'd up during the game, Stram's excitable sideline chatter, including his now-legendary line about wanting to "matriculate the ball down the field," turned him into an unlikely broadcast star. He carried that same charisma into the booth, where his sharp, play-predicting commentary made him a fan favorite, so much so that plenty of viewers would mute the TV just to listen to him and Buck on the radio instead. Stram was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2003, capping a career that bridged the sidelines and the broadcast booth like few others in NFL history.
