There are very few fans or analysts around the NFL who would disagree with the statement that Tom Brady is the best quarterback of all-time.
Brady put together an illustrious career and was a Super Bowl contender year in and year out. He won seven Super Bowls during his career and also won three MVP awards.
While he has not played in the league since 2022, he has remained very active in the NFL circle.
He has become a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders and is also enjoying his broadcasting career with Fox. Brady has been heard publicly more since retirement than he was during his playing days.

Most recently, Brady spoke out and confidently named who he believes is the “GOAT” from a wide receiver perspective.
In a video shared by Topps, Brady was seen opening a pack of cards. One of the cards that he pulled from the pack was a Jerry Rice card. He quickly named Rice the best wide receiver of all-time.
“Gotta love me a Jerry Rice,” Brady said. “Best receiver of all time.”
Just like Brady being the best quarterback of all-time, there are few who would debate that Rice belongs at the top of the wide receiver rankings. He put together an insane career and changed the game when it came to his position.
Throughout his NFL career, Rice racked up 1,549 receptions for 22,895 yards and 197 touchdowns in 303 games. While the majority of his career was played for the San Francisco 49ers, he also had stints with the Raiders and a one-year stop with the Seattle Seahawks.

As for Brady, the superstar quarterback dominated his entire career. He played in 335 career games, completing 64.3 percent of his pass attempts for 89,214 yards, 649 touchdowns, and 212 interceptions.
Right now, there is one player at each position who could threaten these two for their “GOAT” titles. Patrick Mahomes could push Brady for his at quarterback and Justin Jefferson might have a chance to push Rice at wide receiver.
Regardless of what happens, the names Brady and Rice will never be forgotten in the NFL world. It’s always good to see Rice receive the respect he deserves, especially from a player like Brady.
