Its not that anyone held him back or anything happened they just have a waiting period, He's met that now and boom first ballot HOFer

Excellent guy and arguably the best WR to ever play the game; well deserved.

(I'd say that Payton had a similar work ethic)

I know about the 5 year waiting period, but they should've made an exception for Rice

No they shouldn't have. Rice is a great player but no one is above that.

You know how they have retired the number 42 from being worn in MLB and 99 from NHL? Well 80 should be retired from being worn in the NFL. Jerry Rice is THE number 80. Sort of like how Jordan is 23.

I'm happy to say I was fortunate enough to watch this guy play. He's definitely right up there with the best players of all time.
