Jerry Rice is the greatest wide receiver to ever play in the NFL and it turns out the three-time Super Bowl champion is still capable of running a perfect NFL route at the age of 54.

On Monday, the NFL’s all-time leader in receptions (1,549), receiving yards (22,895), receiving touchdowns (197) and all-purpose yards (23,546) took in the San Francisco 49ers’ practice and showed the team’s wide receivers how to get the job done.

It's hard to believe that Rice is 54-years-old when you watch him in those videos considering he could probably still make some defenders look foolish.

Special day having @JerryRice and Steve Young w/ us today! Thank you fellas. #greatness #49erway #canwesignthem?
