It’s not often when two great players unexpectedly run into each other at an airport, but that’s exactly what happened when Terrell Owens was making his way through an airport and spotted Jerry Rice.
After speaking for a bit, Owens told Rice straight up that he is indeed the best wide receiver in NFL history, but he’s 1A.
Via TMZ:
During the encounter, Owens said … “I know I’m great. But, I’ve always said there’s only one person better than me at the pigskin and guess who that guy is?!”
Owens added, “You heard it here from the horse’s mouth. He’s #1. I’m always gonna be 1A, Anybody else they can be #2.”
Owens ended his career with more than 1,000 receptions, 15,934 yards and 153 TDs, while Rice had 1,549 career catches, 22,895 yards and 197 TDs.
Both ended up being elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
