“Love You”: While NFL Legend Jerry Rice’s Big Day Marked by Jada’s Touching Note, Son Brenden Misses Out for the Game

As Jerry Rice celebrates another year in his life, his daughter Jada Rice melts the hearts of fans with her sweet message to his father. The retired NFL prodigy turns 61 as he celebrates his birthday in Bali. While Jada displays her affection for Jerry Rice, fans are still waiting for his son, Brenden Rice, to put forth his wishes. 

As one of the best players for the USC Trojans, Brenden Rice is keeping himself busy with the college football schedule. He emerged as the star player to watch in the last game played against the Arizona Wildcats. Now he’s on his way to play against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. However, all eyes are still set on the emerging footballer’s social media handle and if any updates regarding the celebration of his father’s birthday will come forward or not. 

Jada Rice and Brenden Rice on Jerry Rice’s birthday 

In her latest IG story, the 27-year-old daughter of Jerry Rice posted a photo of him holding a cute brown cake with strawberries on top, a blue candle, and a note that says, “Happy Birthday.” The legend wore a white-sleeved shirt, partially tinted glasses, and a warm smile on his face as he celebrated his birthday. Jada Rice captioned, “Happy Birthday Dad @jerryrice! Love you so much! Enjoy your time in Bali.”

And while Jada Rice crowned her father on his big day, Brenden Rice posts his arrival at South Bend, Indiana, on his IG story. As of the latest story by the son of legend Jerry Rice, he is heading out for his next game against Notre Dame.

And while fans are excited about the upcoming game, they’re curious why no story or post is wishing his legendary father has yet been bestowed by the rising professional. 

Nonetheless, everybody seems to be celebrating Jerry Rice’s birthday. After all, the legacy he has left behind deserves an honor of a similar extent. The Pro Football Hall of Fame called Jerry Rice as “the most prolific wide receiver in NFL history with staggering career totals.”

The San Francisco 49ers also celebrated the birthday of Jerry Rice in a series of 12 pictures from his time as a wide receiver with the 49ers. The team posted on their official website, “Happy Birthday to Jerry Rice,” once again vouching for the role he has played as a team member and the impact he has left behind.  

Jerry Rice’s legacy in the NFL world

The 61-year-old retired NFL legend made an impression on the field during his career as a wide receiver for 20 seasons. The Super Bowl MVP played with the San Francisco 49ers from 1985 to 2000 and helped them secure three Super Bowl championships. After that, he played with the Oakland Raiders, Seattle Seahawks, and Denver Broncos before retiring in 2005. 

Time and again, Brenden Rice indeed made it clear that he’s not looking to walk in his father’s shadow but forge his own path. But the world has a way of comparing a son to his father. However, despite the comparison, Brenden Rice is way ahead of his game. He’s not only a star player for the Trojans, but he’s also inking business ventures with major labels and brands. 

Brenden Rice is someone who thinks outside of the box. He’s someone who won’t let anything distract him until he achieves what he feels is worthy of being celebrated. With the upcoming game and preparation, he could have missed his dad’s birthday. But what if he’s planning for something different? There could be a surprise out of the blue for Jerry Rice.
