Jerry Rice, Retired All-Pro WR

Joining us on the AT&T hotline AT&T your world delivered. Is a future hall of Famer wide receiver Jerry Rice Gerri it's Dylan Michael a Boston how are you. Doing great and -- are wondering. You know -- just introduced you as the greatest receiver in -- history. That make you feel people's about.

Scared to death. And -- that -- it because of all the great receivers you know been so many guys who. They laid the foundation. -- you know the receivers that are out here today. It's one John Stallworth drew Pearson. Like Hartford Solomon on these guys -- largest. You know so when I hear people see you know -- best receivers --

If my at twelve year old daughter was here. She'd say the guy who got screwed in year two of Dancing With The Stars.

Yeah you know that -- shape. Well the big the big it tells me.

You know how I always used to hear about. You're you're legendary. Offseason training program. What you're doing actor -- so what was the most challenging thing for you what will tell us what that would that work out was --

What mile workout -- adult -- it was. It was it was serious -- intent because I would take after this season may be. Three weeks off and just go right back at it and you know a typical date -- With B -- on the track at 730. On don't look -- a running. On the track. And it may be around 930 and ninety go to the deal where capital my football shoes pinnacle. Ramon routes and catching the football and it has been an explosive down -- and by 2 o'clock. And thirty that they come at an outlet and third element -- you know. And as well and do my lifted. And about it it's you know probably. 12:31 o'clock. -- out every day for me you know in because I want to be in the best shape that could be it. And -- yet to stack -- byte in and yet to be well into. You know put to body through. A lot of torture because it's like -- quarter when everything on the line you'd all tired. You know. You have your guys there you know -- exceptional. They can dig a little deeper. They look now what do this in gated and win game.

We -- talking Red Sox manager Terry Francona yesterday and he was talking about David Ortiz. And he said as guys get older and -- on and their career they find they have to work harder than they did when they were younger in order to keep that level up and I'm sure that was true for you as well.

Network now and you know it. It was so funny because the award as I get older he wanted to rest me. But I at coastal out of week because they have pushed myself so part. That early part of my career. And now like you know deal I'd eat to work out and need to push my body to -- extreme. And eventually he like okay you know Jerry is goat do what you have to do now able did you bet but yes you get older you'd have to work out -- the issue but.

Jerry was the best receivers QC right now on the NFL.

Based on what happens lashing -- what -- area FitzGerald when they do. And you know there's some you know -- you know underage on net from the text. Two at old -- Ochocinco. And it it. So strength that yeah -- it sounds so weird and but Chad Johnson can be and you know Terrell Owens even though he's stuck in buffalo it is not. I happened. -- Reggie Wayne. --

Is side is the biggest difference in the wide receiving position now from when you were planet.

You don't later changed a lot because you know when I played it they wanted. The big receivers. You know that's basically what they want it he's seen guys there like five hand. You know five elevenths. You know very of them that that the lat instrument you know because it very quick. So I think the -- done gone you know back -- war and and you know he's got some small receivers out here just as it.

You played in the eighties and you play in the ninety's and we were talking about this about a week ago we said. In the seventies. It was really difficult for quarterbacks to complete passes because they allow so many things on defense the defense is where not to do they basically were allowed them all the receive. But do you think do you think it is easier to complete built up a pass now for quarterback in 2009. That it was and they 19891990.

Well I think it is difficult or did the disciplinary now because. Their. -- the line. That you have to draw. And we got big beef at the linemen. Bearing down on a quarterback and also the quarterback. Gets really as a football you'd expect is big guy. -- you know to changed his momentum and that's impossible. So you know eight. -- Blows today it anything below the -- yet. But you know I think right now they'd be a little bit one leaving it with the quarterbacks and receivers. You know you can bump and run. But after five yards you can't. You know which hand on the receiver anymore. It would aptly it was -- You know I like all the way down field yet he's got a you know what you put in -- the loan whatever but at least. I used that to my event because I knew exactly where. I had to be back in. And -- be able to you know it is a race that I needed to yet to make the catch.
