They Wanted His Father

Some very qualified players never get a chance in the NFL. Others get one because of their background. Jerry Rice Jr, son of the Hall of Fame receiver, is one of them.

He played the same position as his father, but had a limited college career. He attended UCLA where he received his degree and then headed to UNLV where he pursued a master's degree while playing one season of football.

Apparently, the Washington Redskins thought enough of him to sign him to an undrafted free agent contract. His numbers are not overwhelming for his one season: 11 receptions for 86 yards and 1 TD.

He appears to be destined as a training camp body.
