Jerry Rice Jr. and the 49ers

She's an attention grabbing toothpick with fake tits. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I always found it crazy, that without fail, no matter the sport, no matter how good the superstar, their sons would never even be average talent in their respective leagues. You'd think somebody somewhere would have a son with at the very least a modest career, skill obviously isn't hereditary so it makes sense they wouldn't have nearly as much talent, but so many of them just lack talent at all.

Montana, Rice, Gretzky, Jordan. Doesn't matter the man, all their kids are just.. Meh. It's crazy, it's like having a superstar dad curses you to be below average.

Ahem.... Chris Long, Kyle Long...

Ahem.... Chris Long, Kyle Long...

There was this one guy who played baseball named Griffey or something like that.

Ahem.... Chris Long, Kyle Long...

And Laurinaitis if we don't need to stay in football. Loved his dad for years before I heard of James and his uncle was big in Japan, though not in the US as much.

Do actors count?

I'd say no, since one doesn't expect actors to be athletic... when for athletes, it's pretty much implied.

Ken Griffey Jr, Barry Bonds everyone named Matthews. Chris Long

 

[Mojo Ram]

He's slow just like his father, too.

Yup, that's what held Jerry back IMO.

That and the fact that he played at a small school was detrimental to his development at the NFL level.

 

[Mojo Ram]

Let's not kid ourselves, he wouldn't be the receiver he is today if he was on the Detroit Lions his entire career. I didn't say he wasn't great. But he definitely was not the fastest guy on the field.

He was TGOAT in my book.

Anyone ever heard of the manning family?

No?

Ok. Nevermind, carry on.

A Kevin Greene mention.

49ers pass on Rice, but sign another guy with familiar name

The 49ers didn’t sign Jerry Rice Jr. after his weekend tryout with his dad’s old club, but they did sign a guy with a familiar name.

The 49ers announced they signed tight end Kevin Greene and linebacker Chase Thomas, and waived/injured tackle Luke Marquardtand waived/non-football injury linebacker Morgan Breslin.

The Greene they signed isn’t the Hall of Fame finalist pass-rusher who did a year with the 49ers in 1997 (posting 10.5 sacks), but a defensive end/linebacker/tight end from Southern Cal who was undrafted.

Thomas, from Stanford, was with the Saints and Raiders last preseason, and spent the year on the Falcons practice squad, before having a cup of coffee with the Packers this offseason.

My son played BB against Greene when he was a Sr. at SHCP in San Francisco during Greene's Sr. yr. It was a State Playoff game. What an impressive physical specimen he was even in HS. 6'5" - 235#'s. But very courteous and well spoken kid.
