Washington has signed Jerry Rice Jr., an undrafted rookie wide receiver that played collegiately at UCLA and UNLV.

Rice made appearances at minicamps with the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers this offseason.

“I’m my own person, my own individual,” he told the 49ers’ Web site in May. “Obviously, I have his DNA too, so there’s some similarities. But in the end I am Rice Jr., not Rice Sr., and it’s time to make my own name.”
