The NFL continues to reveal its
NFL 100 All-Time Team. This week, it was time to unveil the wide receivers to make the squad. Among that group is a familiar name to San Francisco 49ers and NFL fans.
Jerry Rice is considered to be the greatest ever to play the position and among the 10 receivers named to the
NFL 100 All-Time Team. He holds most of the league's receiving records, including the most career receiving yards (22,895), receptions (1,549), touchdown receptions (197), and most seasons of 1,000-or-more receiving yards (14).
Rice spent 16 seasons with San Francisco after the team made him the No. 16 overall pick in 1985, and won three Super Bowls with the team. He was the Super Bowl XXIII MVP, was named to 13 Pro Bowls, and is a 10-time first-team All-Pro. Rice was also part of the
NFL 75th Anniversary All-Time Team.
Rice was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2010.
The other receivers on the
NFL 100 All-Time Team are Lance Alworth, Raymond Berry, Larry Fitzgerald, Marvin Harrison, Elroy Hirsch, Don Hutson, Steve Largent, Randy Moss, and Paul Warfield.
Moss spent one season (2012), his last in the NFL, with the 49ers. The Hall of Fame receiver was selected to six Pro Bowls and was a four-time first-team All-Pro over his 14-year career.
The
NFL 100 All-Time Team is made up of a roster of 100 players and 10 coaches deemed "the greatest" at their respective positions. NFL Network is unveiling the roster over six-weeks. A 26-person voting panel made up of coaches, team executives, former players, and members of the media are deciding who makes it onto the
NFL 100 All-Time Team.
H/t to
Patrick Tulini for the find.
Week 2 was devastating for the San Francisco 49ers. The team lost two defensive linemen for the season and could be without its quarterback and two running backs for at least another week — possibly longer.
The 49ers confirmed on Monday that both Nick Bosa and Solomon Thomas suffered torn ACLs at MetLife Stadium and will miss the remainder of the season.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan expressed hope that Jimmy Garoppolo might play this weekend against the New York Giants. He is dealing with a high-ankle sprain. While it seems unlikely he will be ready to go against
Former NFL running back turned NFL Media analyst Maurice Jones-Drew ranked his top 15 running backs, as he will do each week. San Francisco 49ers back Raheem Mostert came in at No. 11 on the list after one week's worth of NFL games.
Mostert earned his first career NFL start. That's right. In his sixth NFL season, Mostert finally made his first start on Sunday. Yes, he led the team in rushing last season but wasn't on the field with his teammates during the first offensive snap of any game.
Mostert showed off his versatility on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, rushing for 56 yards on 15 attempts and hauling in four passes for 95 yards and
Levi's Stadium is often criticized for its lack of personality. It's a nice big sports venue in Santa Clara, California, but not much else is typically said.
Candlestick Park tends to bring back fonder memories for San Francisco 49ers fans. Yes, it was old. Yes, it was, at times, cold and windy. Levi's Stadium, by the way, is the opposite. It may have taken you a couple of hours to get out of Candlestick Park. With all of its faults, there was so much history there. That's why it will always hold a special place in the hearts of The Faithful.
That lack of personality and history hurt Levi's Stadium in ESPN's recent ranking of NFL venues.
