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

That's a tough block there, he executes the fake, and immediately the blitzing corner is there. Clyde's pass blocking was one of his few good traits the last few years, but he missed that one. [Reply]
I wish we'd just give the keys of the offense to this guy and give him 15 targets a game. But I know our offense isn't designed for that and Reid won't do that to a rookie.
I still firmly believe if we're going to win the SB this year, this kid has to come up big. [Reply]

It's awesome to see, and why the offense has a chance to look normal again if we can get a few catches by James and/or Ross replacing Toney and Moore. [Reply]
Designed target rate 39% since week 13 - #1 in the NFL. Reid is finally doing what some of us have been calling for since early in the season - manufacturing touches for Rashee.
Threat rate (number of times he gets the ball vs. number of routes run) is the 7th highest in the league over the entire season. Right up there with CeeDee Lamb, Jaylen Waddle, AJ Brown, and Tyreek.
There's not a WR in the 2023 draft I'd trade Rice for. Not one. And I was a well-documented Zay Flowers guy, thought he'd be the best WR out of the 2023 draft. I wouldn't trade Rice for Flowers, JSN, Addison, Hyatt, Puka...nobody. I think Rice will be the most prolific WR from the 2023 draft. Veach pulled the best WR in the draft (imo) with the 55th pick.
