Rice signed copies of his new book, titled "America's Game: The NFL At 100," which was written by Rice and author Randy Williams. The book is a compilation of the NFL's history as seen through Rice's perspective.

While speaking to the media, Rice also shared his thoughts on his former team's Cinderella season ahead of their Super Bowl appearance.

"No one thought this was gonna happen this year," Rice said. The Niners have made a complete turnaround after finishing last year a mere 4-12.
