Just like he did for the NFC Championship Game, Hall of Fame receiver Jerry Rice is hoping to join the San Francisco 49ers on the field ahead of Super Bowl LIV.

"I don't know if they'll let me on the field, though, but I'm going to try," Rice told David Lombardi of The Athletic.

The 57-year-old warmed up with his former team while wearing a suit and tie prior to the 49ers' 37-20 win over the Green Bay Packers. He plans to run at least one pass pattern in a full suit again if he's allowed on the field for the Super Bowl.

"It'll be a go pattern," he said. "I like to go deep."

Rice won three Super Bowls and one Super Bowl MVP award as a member of the 49ers.
