Sidney Rice

Sidney Rice's story hits the classic notes I never tire of: a tall kid raised in Gaffney, South Carolina who turned raw size into an NFL career and topped it off with a Super Bowl ring in Seattle. Seven seasons as a wide receiver isn't a long run, and multiple concussions shortened what could have been more, yet reaching the absolute summit of the sport says everything. What I admire is the trajectory from high school star to champion. Plenty of athletes have talent; far fewer convert it into a title. Rice did, and that lasting achievement is what I'll remember him for.
