My first experience with football was not very good because I didn't plan on playing football. I was just playing hookie one day and I was a sophomore and decided not to go to class. And the principal - normally he does his rounds and I thought I had him down pretty good where he was going to be - he sort of walked up behind me and scared me. He noticed I could run real fast. So that's how I got introduced to football.
Jerry RiceI do a lot of running, and I do it every day. I run on a track, I run hills and I work the stair-stepper extremely hard. I do some type of cardio every day. In addition, I have a passion for golf, and that helps me stay fit, too.
Jerry RiceI had to work hard and hit the books because the opportunity to play in the NFL is not really that big, so I knew I needed something to fall back on. Thatโs the message I want to send to those kids when I talk to them in person and let them know the most important thing is getting your education.
