The son of Pro Football Hall of Famer Jerry Rice was released by the Montreal Alouettes on Wednesday as part of the club's training camp cuts.
Wide receiver Jerry Rice Jr., who was waived last year by the Washington Redskins, was one of nine players released by Montreal on Wednesday as the team prepares to hand in its final roster ahead of the start of the regular season.
Rice Jr. didn't record any statistics in the Alouettes' preseason opener against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
The older Jerry Rice is a three-time Super Bowl champion, and is widely recognized as the greatest wide receiver - if not the greatest player - in NFL history.
