Jerry Rice Runs 40-Yard Dash at Combine Wearing 'GOAT' Sweatshirt

Jerry Rice might be approaching 60 years old, but the NFL's all-time leader in catches and receiving touchdowns is still faster than most people.

As part of NFL Network's Rich Eisen's #RunRichRun charity campaign, Rice ran a 40-yard dash at the 2020 NFL combine. He did so wearing a "GOAT" sweatshirt and a matching pair of cleats.

"That was an ugly takeoff," Hall of Fame cornerback and NFL Network Deion Sanders said on the broadcast.

Eisen said Rice's 40-yard dash this week was Rice's first since the 1985 NFL combine. While no official results were published publicly from that event, The Athletic's Bob McGinn reported last year that a scout in possession of the official results says Rice clocked in at 4.
