Brenden Rice is a professional football player for the LA Chargers, former Colorado Buffalo and

USC Trojan, and the son of the greatest wide receiver in NFL history, Jerry Rice.

In this episode of At the Podium with Manuel Amezcua, Manny and Brenden go deep on

Brenden’s upbringing in Chandler, Arizona, the pressure involved in being the son of an NFL

legend, his time at USC with Caleb Williams and Lincoln Riley, and his plans for life after his

NFL career comes to an end.
