Mississippi is another one of those states that continues to crank out NFL legends. From Walter Peyton to Brett Farve to Jerry Rice, the true battle for king of Mississippi lies between Rice and Peyton, but with a 21 year long career, we had to go with the greatest wide receiver of all-time on this one. During his college career, at Mississippi Valley State, Rice broke the NCAA single-game reception record with 24 catches against LSU in 1983. The record-breaking only continued after he was selected 16th overall in the 1984 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers where he played the majority of his NFL career.
Rice won all three of his Super Bowls as a member of the 49ers and was named the third wide receiver ever to win Super Bowl MVP for his 11 catch, 215 yard effort in Super Bowl XXIII. The Hall of Fame receiver currently holds NFL records for most receiving yards with 22,895, receptions with 1,549, receiving touchdowns with 197, and total touchdowns with 208. There isn't a receiver alive that doesn't want to be like the 13x Pro Bowler, Jerry Rice.
