Jerry Rice looks back at Mississippi Valley-Jackson State football rivalry, talks Deion Sanders

One of the main goals Jerry Rice set for himself throughout the course of his 20-year NFL career was to put Mississippi Valley State on the map.

Every day the Pro Football Hall of Famer, best known for his 16 seasons with the San Francisco 49ers, worked to prove that players from small schools and Historically Black Colleges and Universities can be just as talented as players from Power 5 programs. Rice’s career is immortalized at MVSU. Even the Delta Devils’ stadium (Rice-Totten Stadium) is being named after him and his quarterback at the time, Willie Totten.
