Touchdown Machine
No one has scored more touchdowns than the great Jerry Rice. You've seen the stats. But have you seen these stats? I broke down each and every one of Jerry's scores.
Want to know who threw Jerry the most touchdowns? It's Young to Rice for a record breaking 85 scores. Want to talk about averages? The average Jerry Rice touchdown sails 27 yards before falling into the hands of Flash 80. How about yardage? Rice has garnered 5,516 yards on touchdowns alone. Want more? He's rushed for 10 touchdowns in his career (10), a higher amount than the number of touchdowns Elvis Grbac or Steve Bono have thrown to him. He's caught more touchdowns that went 51 yards or longer than scores that covered 21-30, 31-40, or 41-50 yards. In one season (1988), he averaged a whopping 48 yards a touchdown!
Enough with the talking. The stats speak for themselves. Take a look at Jerry's greatness and draw your own conclusions.
