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
When I hear rashee rice talk, I hear Patrick and Travis.
It’s refreshing. Humble, loves to play the game, right amount of ownership for mistakes. I know that sounds simple and yet it’s the accountability you just don’t hear from guys like Mvs and Toney. [Reply]
He's starting to work the angles with his acceleration. When he breaks clean there is literally nobody in the league who can keep step with him. Rice definitely looks like a dawk as well. At times you see him initiate the contact. It sends a message. [Reply]
Rice has an odd way of running his routes. He appears slow and very close to be tackled by the corner who is covering him. Yet, he accelerates just enough and grabs 20 yards in a blink of an eye. It's almost as if he plays the game in slow motion. Remarkable to watch. He is also a very fluid runner. Almost like a videogame character. [Reply]

It's possible to praise Rice and be enthusiastic about his future without shitting on Bowe and what he did here.
What he could have developed into? How about what he DID develop into? Were you expecting him to be Calvin Johnson or some shit?
Like 4 consecutive 1000 yard seasons with wild instability at QB and coach. Super fun YAC WR. He put together a ton of great plays where it took defenses to swarm tackle in order to bring him down.
Bowe had a pretty good 7 or so seasons with us. Yeah, at the end he was a part of the season without a WR TD. He had lost a significant step and only got worse when he left KC the next year. But that doesn't mean he was some Jon Baldwin jagoff.
Yep Rice is a clear cut #1! No need to sign like a Mike Evans or so, Rice is HIM! Get Rome Oduzinke!! Pair him with Rice and watch magic happen! [Reply]

Put some respect on his name.
I’m not putting Bowe down on that. He really only played to his potential in 1 season though, imo. That was when Haley forced him to take it seriously.
What I’m saying is I think it’s highly possible Rice eclipses what Bowe did here because he seems less full of himself, more professional, but still brings the traits Bowe did in terms of how he plays larger, is physical with the ball in his hands, and could really hurt you when he got going.
Rice has a chance to have a few really big years in the near future. [Reply]

Bullshit.
He had four very good seasons w/total ass at QB. [Reply]

And if God forbid Rice get hurt and be out for a bit we are back to looking like ass. We don't need Tyreek but we could use 2-3 more guys that are at least solid. [Reply]
#chiefs WR Rashee Rice hasn't hit a rookie wall. He actually looks like he's hitting another gear. I talked to someone who has thrived with late season chemistry with Mahomes in the past and they agree. This is something to watch. My report on The Insiders on @nflnetworkpic.twitter.com/O38n0Ajf6D
