In his acceptance speech, Rice credited his hard-working parents, his fear of failure, and his relentless drive for progress for his NFL records for most receptions (1,549) receiving yards (22,895) and receiving TDs (197).

Those stories and more pack the pages of his autobiography, GO LONG! My Journey Beyond the Game and the Fame, published in 2007 by Ballantine Books. (Click here for more.)
