I see #51 on the left

agree - If they're actually going to be Legends, that means it's got to be one of the following:

• Dick Butkus
• Sam Mills
• Takeo Spikes
• Ken Norton
• James Farrior
• Jonathan Vilma
• Brian Cox

Ray Lewis, Jerry Rice, and the last one is hard but it’s def an RB like AP, or Terrell Davis

Middle is Jerry Rice or T.O.

My thoughts exactly

Gosh, that would be incredible.  I wish you were correct.  Bang bang, baby.

Think Jerry Rice gets a 99 this year?

The mere fact he actually exists in the game does give me hope, but at this point, doubtful.  Perhaps a late round Ultimate Legend if we're truly blessed, but it's EA so I'm not gonna get my hopes up.  They think there's other receivers that somehow had a better career than Jerry, which simply is not the case.  Just goes to show how little the folks at EA truly know or understand the great game of football.  In every measurable metric by which we judge receivers, Jerry exceeds Randy in all of them.  Randy thought (or knew) he was so good that he barely had to try, whereas Jerry was THE greatest of all time due to his intense work ethic.  I'm sure an argument can be made that peak Randy might have been better than many aspects of Jerry's game, but that was a mere flash in a pan.  I do liek the Randy and Brady versus Joe and Jerry direct comparisons, though -- some of the absolute best to ever do it.  Here's a few specific numbers to back up my kRaZeE ranting and raving:

Career receiving yards:

• Randy = 15,292
• Jerry = 22,895

Career receiptions:

• Randy = 982
• Jerry = 1,549

Career Touchdowns:

• Randy = 156 (2nd)
• Jerry = 197 (1st)

Cant take these serious anymore after EA swapped the players out couple weeks ago.

That being said middle looks like Desean jackson in a Washington  uni zzzz they never got him in an eagles uniform

Thanks

Exactly. It’s ok for ea to flat lie to all of us but it’s not ok for us to get ahead in the game however we want.

Jerry is the literal greatest football player of all time. His peers even voted him no1

I’m guessing Norton to appeal to the wallets of the niner and cowboy fans, much like they do with Steelers and a few other teams

I just bought like 30 UL 93s to build these when they drop. My gut tells me this is going to be a mega release. You can see theyve all got baked on abilities too.

Finally, someone else who doesn't think its up for debate. Jerry is the best WR to ever do it. I think the fact that Jerry has 7k more yards than Moss says enough. 

Honestly, in my opinion, Moss isnt even a top WR all time.

1. Jerry Rice

2. Marvin Harrison (Out of all the great WRs of the 2000s, He was far and away the most consistent, almost always over 1k yards a season. Rediculous hands, super humble guy.)

3. Larry Fitzgerald (2nd all time in recieving yards with almost 40 year old Kurt Warner, Matt Leinart, Kevin Kolb, Josh Rosen, well past his prime Carson Palmer, and a few others throwing him the ball)

It's no accident that Brady was one of the few QBs to ever get the most/best effort from Randy.  Jerry was obviously blessed to spend the bulk of his career with Joe Montana and Steve Young, that definitely didn't hurt his consistency, but he was no slouch and able to compete at an extremely high level for a very long time.

Hard to dispute anything you're suggesting above, i'm kind of pumped to see where mister Marvin Junior winds up -- would it be a crime to suggest perhaps he'll be the second coming of Larry Fitz (assuming he ends up in the NFC Best division, in Phoenix), heh.  He's obviously going to be the first WR off the board, right?  I'm not much of a Draft guru / genius, but seems that is a fairly safe bet.  If he's ~half as good as his old man, oh boy, lucky for any squad that retains his services.  Some massive shoes to fill, coming from Hall of Fame caliber pops.

I wonder if jerry rice has a special stick 'um XFactor lololol

How does jerry not have baked in Route Tech? Awful drop
