Bruce, known as "Ike", was one of the most popular players on the St. Louis Rams. During player introductions and after big plays, it was custom for Rams fans to yell "Bruuuuuuce". To the uninitiated fan, it may sound like he is being booed.

Isaac Bruce was drafted in the 2nd round (33rd overall) by the Los Angeles Rams. He signed a 3-year $1.75 million contract with the Rams on July 14, 1994. Earned 1994 Carroll Rosenbloom Award, given to team rookie of the year. He was also voted Rams Rookie of the Year by Orange County Sports Association and Southern California Sports Broadcasters Association. His first NFL reception was 34-yard touchdown from Chris Miller at Atlanta on September 11, 1994.

Bruce moved with the team to St. Louis in 1995. In 1995 Bruce was the NFC Special Teams player of the Week for week one in 1995 for blocking a punt that aided in a Ram win. He was the NFC Offensive Player of the Week for week 6 following a 10-catch, 191 yard, 2 TD performance. His 1995 season was one of best ever season by a Rams’ receiver and second greatest receiving season in NFL history with 1,781 yards on 119 catches. He trailed only San Francisco’s Jerry Rice (1,848) after breaking former Houston Oilers WR Charley Hennigan ’s 34-year-old record of 1,746 set in 1961. His 119 catches ranked fifth on the NFL’s all-time single-season reception list. Bruce also broke four Rams’ records, including most receiving yards, most receptions, most consecutive 100-yard receiving games (6) and most 100-yard games. Bruce made USA Today’s All-Joe team, All-Madden, and All-Pro by Sports Illustrated and he was voted a first alternate to the Pro Bowl. He was also voted the Ram's MVP.

On March 7, 2006, the Rams released Bruce rather than pay him a $1.5 million bonus. However, five days after releasing him, the Rams agreed to a three-year, $15 million deal with Bruce. The re-signing freed a reported $7.5 million in cap money for the Rams.[4] That season Bruce started 15 of 16 games and notched his eighth career 1,000-yard receiving season with 1,098 yards on 74 catches with three touchdowns. In 2007 Bruce caught 55 passes for 733 yards and 4 touchdowns and was second the club in all three categories (second to Torry Holt).

On February 28, 2008, Bruce was released by the team after refusing to take a pay cut, which the Rams promised they would not do in a previous contract renegotiation.

On February 29, 2008, Bruce signed a two-year, $6 million contract with the San Francisco 49ers. Jerry Rice gave Bruce permission to wear his No. 80, however Bruce and the team decided against it. He eventually chose to wear No. 88.

Isaac Bruce's nicknam is "The Reverend" because he wishes to become one after he finishes his football career. He also wants to become a substitute teacher.
