Jerry Rice

Perhaps the greatest wide receiver, Rice played twenty seasons in the NFL. Most of his career he spent with the 49ers. He’s considered the best route runner. In addition to his AFC Championship and three Super Bowls, Rice holds over one hundred NFL records! That’s more records than any NFL player. The Sporting News listed him second, just behind Jim Brown, on the list of “Football’s 100 Greatest Players.”

Warren Sapp

Despite controversy for his rough tackles and verbal outbursts, Warren Sapp is known for his record breaking career as a defensive lineman. Unfortunately, he was once removed from a game because of unsportsmanlike conduct. Moreover, he played for both the Buccaneers and Raiders during his twelve years as an NFL player. Remarkably, his 96.5 sacks ranks him at second for highest sacks for a defensive tackle. The nose tackle was perhaps his infamous move that other teams later adopted. Sapp was selected seven times for the Pro Bowl and won the Super Bowl in 2002.
