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
Flowers was a guy we wanted to trade up for in round 1, yet we get Rice in round 2 staying put. Gigantic win for Veach after last year's debacle with Moore. [Reply]

Morons will still pretend like Flowers is SO much better. [Reply]
Really excited we used him downfield. There's not reason he can't be used all over the field as much as possible. He's such a weapon with the ball in his hands [Reply]

No doubt, I think it's safe to say he does have quick explosive speed initially but does not have quite the "take it to the house" long end speed as witnessed getting caught after running 20-25 yds uncontested. Whereas IF Ross makes that catch it is a TD no doubt IMO. Don't get me wrong here because I do love how Rice is developing but Ross needs to replace MVS especially after today's key drop AGAIN. Just saying. [Reply]

With all due respect here, I don't think you realize how talented this kid is because the Chiefs brass had every excuse imaginable(except his play) to cut him after the domestic crap. They know how good he really is and just need him to know the playbook more and recognizing the soft areas in the D as the play develops(a la getting Patrick's eyes down). You can see that Rice is starting to figure out what Pat sees pre-snap. But the only way you get better is just getting more snaps. Or at least split the snaps between MVS and Ross. MVS is a flat out choker IMO. [Reply]

The only thing stopping Rice from being a big play downfield threat is Matt Nagy’s Reerunned obsession with the underneath passing game. [Reply]

Ross isn't a speedster type. He's not going to be taking deep balls to the house, it's not his game.
