Will Anyone Catch Jerry Rice's record any time soon?

His receiving yards total is just beneath 23k, and the next-closest player is Andre Johnson. However, Johnson is at just 13k and is 33, and the Texans obviously are seeing a decline in his athleticism. Second-up is Calvin Johnson, who although is playing great, is going to.be 30 next season, and he's at just 10k yards.

It seems like Rice's record is going to be around for a very, very long time.

    No, it is becoming a pass happy league but offenses rely more on spreading the ball to several receivers.

    In order to catch Rice a player would have to average almost 1200 receing yards and more than 10 scored TD in 20 years.

    Nobody is in within 6,000 of Rice. Reggie Wayne is about 8,500 behind Rice but his career is just about over. I really don't see any of the active players making a run at Rice;s total. Megatron would probably have the best shot but I don't see him playing another 10 years.
