One of the best WR prospects at the catch point and winning leverage mid-route. He consistently sets up defenders to put them on his back, locates the ball, and attacks it at the highest point.
Rashee Rice was drafted with pick 55 of round 2 in the 2023 draft class. He scored a 9.53 #RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 145 out of 3062 WR from 1987 to 2023. https://t.co/lwD9tvVPvvpic.twitter.com/YjucxErSE1

Offense might been gimmicky, and Hyatt was definitely used that way, but Tillman is a good football player. Somebody is going to get a starter in round 3. [Reply]
Rashee Rice tells @mattderrick he did catch some passes in a couple of sessions with Patrick Mahomes in the pre-draft process. Says he most compares his game with DeAndre Hopkins.

He's faster than his 40 on a tweaked hammy
I think the team proved last year without Hardman and Hill that the offense doesn’t need elite burners to be special. I think this selection in Rice and how the offense evolved last year is shifting the way Andy Reid is deploying his offense. [Reply]

I have no idea if Rice will put up the same kind of career numbers, but that's what I see when I watch the tape. I see a young Hopkins.
I hope he can be coached up that way. Not too concerned about his athleticism. But he’s gotta learn to catch with his hands and we can’t afford inconsistently in an efficient offense. I mostly like it but hes got a very long way to go before he becomes even 30+ year old DHop [Reply]

And there’s a reason why Tillman was the more polished and real size receiver mocked to us a lot in the second.
Based solely on highlights which mean nothing, I really liked Rice and Tank Dell. [Reply]
