The Rams selected Bruce in the second round of the 1994 NFL Draft and played 14 seasons with the Rams and winning one Super Bowl. Mostly remembered by his game-winning catch in Super Bowl XXXIV against the Tennessee Titans, the instrumental leader of the "Greatest Show On Turf." (Watch Video)

The Rams released Bruce where he signed and played two seasons with the San Francisco 49ers. However, the 49ers agreed to trade Bruce back to the Rams where he could retire as a Ram after 16 NFL seasons. In the 2010 NFL season, the Rams retired Bruce's #80 jersey that hung in the Edward Jones Dome rafters. 
 
The former Rams great had an impressive career by establishing 1,024 receptions (11th NFL overall), 15,208 career receiving yards (5th NFL overall), and 91 receiving touchdowns (12th NFL overall), as each of those categories remain as Rams franchise records that stand today.

Bruce and former teammate Tory Holt seemed to have been overlooked the last couple of years, as Bruce gets one step closer toward induction. As the only receiver on the list of finalist let's assume that he will get his key to Canton on February 2, 2019. 

Good luck to Isaac Bruce, as the cities of Los Angeles and St. Louis remain optimistic with nomination to his induction into the Hall of Fame. We all are rallying behind him 100% of becoming the 18th Ram player and coach to wear the Gold Jacket. Bruce played the game with passion and class and rarely disappointed the Fans when getting into the end zone. (Watch Video)
