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
He had some really nice plays. Loved the back shoulder catch and tap.. that was an underrated play. Chiefs ended up punting but without that play they likely punt from the end zone. Keep it coming. 1 weapon is starting to develop. [Reply]

Mahomes starts throwing those to the kid, and we're going to light people up.
Hell it’s something we haven’t had for years. These are the kind of x/y plays I was really hoping for this offseason. It opens so much of the playbook if rashee can consistently win on these plays and just as importantly make plays on the ball even if he’s not necessarily open. If he can do this consistently we will finally get some of that rhythm back [Reply]

Totally agree with you and Chris Meck on the back shoulder pass. Very encouraging [Reply]
Let's hope that this is just the first of several games of growth for Rice....would love to see a few more TD's like that 39 yard one he had yesterday. [Reply]
I'm not saying that Rice is Chase, but just how many of those does Burrow throw whenever Chase is one on one outside, and the coverage is pretty good, and they just complete the damned thing anyway?
I mean, it's a TON.
We've never really had that as a piece of the repertoire here, but if we're going to have that on the table, we're going to start lighting people up. [Reply]
His game speed appears to be faster than his combine testing scores, which is great! His 10-20 yd time was great at the combine, but 40 yd lagged a little compared to others. He seems to hit another gear with the ball in his hands. [Reply]

With how the other wide receiver’s are playing it’s essential [Reply]

He'll need to step it up a decent chunk to surpass Jackson's yardage total, but he seems likely to me to get at least 2 TDs and become the most productive from that measure. [Reply]
