Former NFL'er Jerry Rice will make his pro golf debut this week on the Nationwide Tour.

And he isn't shy about his goals. "I'd love to make this cut in my debut," he told the AP.

Rice said he has a long history with golf that he used to dabble on the side during his NFL career.

"I can hold my own," Rice told the AP about his long game. "I have been up at night visualizing my strategy what I'm going to do on every hole.

If Rice can actually pull off making the cut- I think it's a greater golf feat than Phil winning The Masters. It really would be a huge boost to all of us with "real jobs" who dream of someday giving it all up to focus on the golf game.

Unfortunately for Jerry (and for us), it's not quite as easy said than done. Jerry may not finish dead last- but I'd bet he ends up close to it. Still- it's worth watching- and I don't dislike Rice. I'm 100% rooting for him to make the cut and finish high. It really would be amazing- I just don't think he's quite there.
