Drafted by the Rams in 1994, he amassed over 15,000 receiving yards in his 16-year NFL career, ranking among the league’s all-time leaders. His defining moment came in Super Bowl XXXIV, when he caught the game-winning 73-yard touchdown pass. Bruce recorded eight 1,000-yard seasons and retired as the Rams' all-time leading receiver.
