This is just not true. Maybe not the quickest guy, but certainly Rice had solid top end speed. In his prime he was the NFLs premier deep threat and I never remember him getting caught from behind.

Precisely.

I remember reading a book by Bill Walsh (Building a Champion). He spoke of how in his scouting (MS Valley State) of Jerry, what separated him from most was his stride and second gear. He had never seen that type of gear in all of his days of scouting receivers . In the open field his long stride gave him functional speed to distant himself from defenders. At the same exact starting point, you never saw Rice get caught from behind. Not once.

He was far from slow.
