There was at least one autograph-seeker Saturday that Jarvis Landry had to oblige: Hall of Fame wide receiver Jerry Rice.

Minutes after Team Rice's 30-minute practice session ahead of Sunday's Pro Bowl, Rice came jogging across the field to seek out the Miami second-year wide receiver for one eager Dolphins fan.

Landry, selected for his first Pro Bowl after recording 110 receptions for 1,157 yards this season, did the alumni captain one better. He went over with Rice to meet the young man face to face.

As the pair made their way off the practice field minutes later, Rice shared some career advice with Landry.

"He's a great guy and we just talked about doing it for other people, making them happy, spending time with our family and putting smiles on people's faces," Landry said. "That's what we're here to do."

Landry laughed at the mention of the NFL's leader in career receptions and receiving yards as his autograph runner.

"It's surreal to have this opportunity," Landry said. "I'm kind of still processing what he told me just now. Every chance I get to talk to him and have a little conversation with him, I'm trying to pick his brain about things that I've seen him do, things that I've heard and just trying to find ways to better myself."

Both teams went through their final walk-throughs on Saturday.

was it:

"stop cathing the damn ball 3 yards behind the line of scrimmage"
 
Must be surreal for Landry... I watched a video of his the other day from honolulu where he answered fans questions for about 12 minutes. He had mentioned that Jerry Rice was his favorite player growing up.

He also said he's gonna catch him or he's on his heels or something along those lines... gotta love his confidence. He's a good kid.
 
I can't wait to see what Gase can do with the talent this team has in the outside.

Landry and Parker both are special.
 
Jarvis is one of the most passionate and emotional players in the NFL. It is a really big deal to him that he's made the Pro Bowl, irrespective of the number of players who pulled out. Make no mistake, Jarvis believes that he is destined for greatness. He is probably already setting his sights on Canton. Interesting comment from Brian Hartline last year, that Jarvis dominated the WR room, even as a rookie.
