The next Rice in football is on his way to standing up to his father’s legacy as his family’s support for him gets stronger. Jerry Rice, the legendary WR of the San Francisco 49ers, now has his son ready for the NFL, and the fans desperately want Brenden to play for the 49ers, as well, and continue the tradition.

Brenden Rice, the wide receiver of the USC Trojans, has had a mighty heavy weight on his shoulders ever since he declared for the NFL Draft this year. The expectations of being the next great Rice, as his father once was, have been set forth against him since day 1. And now, as the Draft draws near, tensions are at an all-time high, but amidst this atmosphere, his sister’s love for him will surely help in relieving a bit of the pressure.

Jada’s comment read, “Go crazyyy🔥” and the comment was seen being liked by Brenden as well. With his father and sister backing him with full support, Brenden might just get to be the next generational talent as the blood of the 3-time Super Bowl winner courses through his veins. But while everyone expects him to follow in his father’s footsteps, Jerry himself reveals that it would be tough if Brenden ended up with the 49ers.

Jerry said, “It’s going to be hard for him if he comes to the San Francisco 49ers and you know there’s going to be put so much pressure on him but you know he’s just going to have to be a man and deal with that and say, “hey look this is not about what my dad did it’s about what I’m trying to accomplish now and I got to work my butt off and I got to prove to my teammates that hey, look I deserve to be that starter and I’m gonna do everything to help my team to win.

Thus, while it would be the most fantastic story if Brenden ended up with the 49ers, it sure would put a lot of pressure and expectations on the youngster’s head as he tries to live up to his father’s glory.
