Jerry Rice finger tip catching proven with Science.

The greatest receiver of all time talks about catching the football in his fingers.
Science shows that Jerry Rice catches the football with his fingers.

[@MARSandtheGang]

I shook this man's hand tonight! Nicest guy in the world.

[@curtisgills2535]

+Taelan Baylor haha l

[@stradvarius7762]

MARSandtheGang Haahaha

[@numba1punta110]

No doubt! Met him at an Airport in 2012. He stopped and took pictures with my entire Army Reserve unit. He even took out some Super Bowl rings and let some of us wear them in pics!! I was the first one to get his picture and didn't want to hold him up. Then everyone in my unit knew he was Jerry Rice 😂. They stopped him but he didn't mind at all.

[@wigshoppingusedtobemyhobby7042]

Jerry Rice is hands down ,the greatest wide receiver I've ever seen. He was a great route runner;he had phenomenal hands...he rarely dropped a pass that hit him in his hands...and he was a great blocker and teammate. Very humble for a super star.

[@pejamin1]

he has the softest voice. did not expect

[@aurorastarfury]

I remember reading an article about special forces training instructors (who were WW2 combat veterans). The trainee had expected the instructors to have really nasty voices. But instead, they were calm, spoke softly but clearly, and were always teaching. Just non-stop teaching, with patience and good humor. Hollywood just makes us believe that "bad-asses" have to talk a certain way, screaming, ranting. That's just useless posturing by guys trying to aspire to leadership but are merely covering up their inadequacies. A true "bad-ass" doesn't have to posture. He simply *is*. The sharpest knives are the quietest.

[@anthonyroberson5199]

Lol he didn't have to talk loud . He's accomplishments SCREAM

[@EgoManiak]

it's been so long since i've seen jerry rice catch, i almost forgot how good he was. class act and one of the best athletes the nfl has ever known.

[@TheEnemiesEnemy]

'Science validates my instincts'. Sweet line

[@erikvrskovy1535]

That shit went so hard

[@chrisbird2624]

He didnt use stickum in this but he still could make impressive catches.. And stickum totally affected his running ability...

[@SBLifts]

Obvi don't play football lol

[@fcb17721]

you my friend have amazing sarcasm

[@CALiiGeddonTwo]

Thanks Jerry for the tip. I am training and learning as much as I can right now so when I try out for SJSU football in 2 years I hope to make the team. Tip: Catch the ball with your fingers rather than the palm of your hands. Tip: LEARN FROM THE BEST!

[@gotemlookin20]

It’s been 10 years. Did you make the team?

[@matthewchow4991]

yeah rice had better quarterbacks than moss, but he did last longer in the NFL. he was very productive at the end of his career.

[@JR3_Jiran]

Matthew Chow moss had culpepper and Brady

[@stevenbrown6720]

Yeah moss had pretty good quarterbacks

[@j2times2006]

The greatest. Period.

[@brimlitate112]

Awesome

[@kylewattssurfing3266]

Great video and thanks for sharing!!!!

[@aza091234]

YAY! THIS HELPS! THANKS!

[@TheRealHipHopHeads]

Interesting.. salute Jerry Rice

[@Dtroll1287]

Jerry rice, god of the wide receivers

[@carsonpettit8010]

Thnx this helped

[@mrandersen6872]

omg don't you guys just love this 4k video quality

[@I_Hate_Craig]

@SpecOpsSpecialist I agree with everything except the "easily" part. If he would have worked hard, he would have had a chance but this is Jerry Rice we're talking about

[@ElSharkwalker]

@itwaslikethatalready loved this comment. Keep in mind though, that was just his receiving yards. he has another 600 plus rushing. He averaged something like 7.2 yards a run.

[@zillakami_mr.poopybutthole1424]

he seems like a nice guy

[@breeezy190]

#1 WR EVER!

[@Tony52308]

Jerry Rice could still be a top 5 receiver today

[@brimlitate112]

Nice

[@deancoronado4898]

Damn. Even science confirms that Jerry Rice is a bad-ass at catching.

[@nandotime3000]

Easy for you to say... Hall of Famer. P.S. Those gloves are alot of help too; not taking anything away from Rice.

[@fade7foul]

Wish I got into football while in his prime. Seems like most top WR have huge egos. This guy GETS it.

[@kriskilpatrick81391]

@Benisuber1 Very true.

[@lunchb0x93]

jerry rice seems like the nicest guy

[@Foonage]

@ClanNadeME yes

[@jonahmuagututia5044]

that is very smart.

[@SlickR6]

Jonah Muagututia u sick guy 😁

[@sobaze]

Jerry Rice is “The Science”! You can’t argue with “The Science”. I heard some little troll in a white coat say that a while back.

[@wangchung2157]

God i love how Rice explains this the way it should be, catching a football a million different ways is truly an art form

[@Megabob221]

@TheGame5050. I'd have to agree, Moss is more my style of reciever. He's also my favorite everr

[@MrSlutbaby]

When Randy and Chris were both on the Vikings at the same time. Randy was thrown at less times than Chris and yet still caught more passes, more yards, and more touchdowns.

[@rcthomas6925]

Rice so nice

[@moonwatcher211]

Man, Jerry sure hasn't let himself go

[@YoungLejinz0530]

"Science... it validates my instincts." Yeah... instincts meaning bad-assery to the epic max...

[@tiatrips]

It didn't hurt that for 20 years he did "The Hill" and would work until sundown almost every practice to get everything in his routes picture perfect. I do agree with you that Carter had better hands, but it's not by much. They both made some great catches and were prototypical possession receivers.

[@tiatrips]

To validate your point, when the 49ers played the Broncos in the Super Bowl, rice caught a touchdown where he bounced off of Bronco safety Steve Atwater to get into the end zone. I bring this up as validation because the 49ers knew that the Broncos were not a tackling secondary; they were more concerned with hitting. Rice caught the pass, absorbed and bounced off Atwater's hit, and just about walked into the end zone with Atwater on the ground looking around for him.

[@ElSharkwalker]

Hopefully the NFL will release a collection titled: Jerry Rice's 10 greatest games, so that people that didn't get to see him play get a chance.

[@jzon3251]

Jerry Rice... Mr. Field

[@32KarateGuy]

He still runs "The Hill" if you guys know what i'm talking about. Jerry runs up a hill to stay in shape. This guy has had the best work ethic.

[@harrymills2770]

Catching bricks made your hands strong, Jerry. That's why you can catch the ball with your fingers, without letting it bounce off your palms. You're sort of right, but you discount the strength you built up catching bricks, even though catching a football is different technique.

[@BigTW707]

The goat

[@flash1457]

jerry rice greatest wide receiver ever

[@itwaslikethatalready]

22,895 yards...holy shit

[@Koolgirl6978]

This needs an update of wide to the greatest wide reciever

[@RastaToad]

@utdwcd Yeah, he played WR...

[@changhongyi2318]

Golden Fingers!

[@halospartan117899]

Jerry please comeback

[@Mourtzouphlos240]

Correction Hutson Hutson Hutson with a T. I had always thought it was Hudson like the river in New York.

[@awesomekidandfriend]

lets go jerry rice

[@HBCUNews]

Loved watching him in college, I figured that he would be great

[@Dymez510]

This dude's work ethic is amazing, he looks like he can still play today. I think he's more than just the greatest wideout of all-time, but also the greatest football player of all-time -- but... when it comes to just pure catching ability, nobody was better than Cris Carter.

[@cesarcanete3402]

I'm sorry but the greatest football player of all time belongs to Walter Payton. He can run, block, pass, catch & only missed 1 game his entire career despite being small. Jerry is the greatest wideout of all time, but greatest football player ever belongs to sweetness Walter Payton. Nobody comes close to Walter's skills ability dead or alive.

[@blueleader392]

@@cesarcanete3402 I would argue that Barry Sanders is the best at running the football of all time

[@MutedAds]

It's just a ball to people like him, not really much to it. Balance and cooperation with the ball.

[@richardescobar4215]

Lets just say, stickums most likely played a role in all his records.

[@Benisuber1]

@kriskilpatrick81391 Cris Carter had some pretty amazing hands too.

[@pungrmn]

JERRY! JERRY! JERRY!

[@icantthinkofaname335]

and joe benefited from a GREAT D-fence, and the greatest WR of all time, thats how it works man, thats why football is a team game.

[@hamboneGaminG]

THE BEST !!!

[@icantthinkofaname335]

@playboyv12 TO is prolly the 2ed greatest WR of all time, alot of people forget how amazing he was because of the off field issues.

[@TheJattPavit]

@nandotime3000 just saying its nothing out of the ordinary.

[@etchosts8162]

GREATEST FOOTBALL PLAYER OF ALL TIME HE JUST HAPPENED TO BE A RECEIVER

[@SoapyTaco]

This guy should go to the Jags. Even at 49, he's still better than any of the receivers on the team.

[@hoiwaileung]

the fact is that he has got a rice field in his hand which attracts balls

[@mthompson24]

n dude still got da skills

[@TCool12389]

not only is jerry rice the best reciever, he is the greatest player to play football ever out of every position, as ranked by NFL network, followed by jim brown.

[@COOLSTORYHAN5EL]

Jerry rice is the best football player of all time. There's a reason why his nickname is G.O.A.T. Greatest of All Time

[@christianespino630]

I don't understand how people argue on youtube

[@kaneundertaker1994]

he still looks like he could play today

[@yankeeclipper27]

god dammit he can still catch like a madman

[@Krazykid163]

If he wanted to, Jerry Rice could play in the league tomorrow!!

[@oracleofdelphire]

@TheDudeFromKalispell only if during the game

[@NewYorkCityBoxing]

I was expecting Lynn Swann when he said -- the greatest.

[@user-co1gi7yd2r]

lmao why

[@hueynewt1]

All great players are going to say they are the best. Rice was definitely the best and Moss is number 2 for sure, i cant say Moss was better than Rice but it would have been interesting to see what Moss could have done if he was catching passes from two of the greatest qbs of all time in montana and young, and you see what Moss did when he finally played with a hall of fame qb.

[@IqvantvmI]

Where was this tasted? Great link, and well, I think we didn't need science to prove that Rice was beyond all other WR born to date

[@TheNewVue]

Haha he's so mellow

[@TheKj1434]

@MrKevthetube To contrary belief,colds are caused by viral infections, which become airborne through coughing and sneezing, and NOT BY CLIMATE. Trust me, I live in Phoenix. That's just an old "Wives' Tale".

[@georgeguerra7989]

Michael Irvin and Deion Sanders of the best wide receivers ever

[@nickemp4334]

But Deion Sanders was a corner.

[@AlvinNinja]

+Nicholas Kemp Deion actually did play WR for a short amount of time but he's definitely way more famous for his skill at the CB position lol

[@jamesryu5501]

Lol Deion was a corner but whatever...

[@AlvinNinja]

+james ryu technically he also played WR but he's way more known for his CB skills

[@rickyphamvong1224]

+Curtis Gills nigga I'll do it to you first he played WR for a bit

[@kopposka11]

jerry is fucking godlike

[@masterbigfoot]

@zyxwut321 I know that he worked his butt off to get to that level. When I say gitfted I mean being genetically gifted he's 49 years old and he's still in amazing shape

[@Opuchki]

True, CJ is better than JR. But i believe that when CJ's career is over, JR will still stand as the best WR ever to play the game. Jerry was productive almost his entire career (20 yrs!!) and he played most of it in a league that wasn't quarterback-driven, unlike today. Meaning, CJ, like many other great WRs today, has had the advantage of playing in an era with, not only extremely talented QBs, but a league that favors the passing game as well. Let's see if CJ will ever have 22,895 rec yards.

[@z4ng3tsu1ch1g0]

@borednessislife Not even close...Jerry Rice has set a bar that no one could ever reach. Look at the stats, work ethic, you name it.

[@nandotime3000]

@TheJattPavit Right... I am aware.

[@DracoX9]

@BeastModeC3ntral Nope, look closer. Reeboks.

[@N1NJ4F15H]

good job taking a stand for what you believe in

[@NBWDOUGHBOY]

Jerry still looks like he can give you a good quarter and some TD's,,,, Looking good there Jerry....

[@rmccaull]

I'm not disagreeing with anyone on here, but megatron is 27 years old. Jerry was 42 years old when he retired. If anyone is going to beat any of Rice's records, it's Calvin. GO LIONS

[@SCSAsJorts]

@lemmonhead10866 lol that i understand, i just wanted to clear it up just poking fun thats all

[@sumskater999]

Jerry Rice and Reggie Miller are probably the two athletes that are still in GREAT shape today. I think both those guys could play in the NFL and NBA today.

[@Sharkwalker1]

@Utip32 that's what mississippi said

[@TheJattPavit]

@nandotime3000 Most receivers use gloves anyways.

[@decibelOW]

the shape hes in he could come back and play today haha

[@hueynewt1]

12 seems about right.

[@donnaskillet]

Annnd as usual,Drew Brees is the exception to the rule.He was on the cover of the game, and the last time I checked Number 9 is still an effective NFL Quarterback.

[@utip32]

which makes rice still the best. it took 12 games for rice to catch 22. it took 16 for moss to get 23. rice is better because it took moss longer to get as many as rice.

[@icantthinkofaname335]

@Jiiggaman IF is the key word in this statement, football in 70% work ethic.

[@zyxwut321]

That's also hard work and a lifetime of staying in shape. He still trains as hard now as he did during his playing days.

[@oneshotk03d]

Matt stafford is good, and calvin is really benefiting stat wise by being on the lions. Even though the team is terrible, most of the offense is run through him so he gets alot more passes. Trust me if he was on the patriots, even with a better qb, im sure his stats would drop.

[@Starwars1549]

Thats right if it hits the palms your screwed. Just like in SuperBowl 46 Wes Welker's catch hit his palm.

[@LinKxWolFyy]

Clannademe you should only catch with your hands because it may nock the wind out of you if you catch with your chest and also it won't bounce out if you catch with your hands
