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

Several times this season by Rice's 4th catch or so opposing defense were noticeably less interested in contact.
Yeah Anquon Boldin is who he reminds me of too. Rice is more wiry, but just as tough to bring down. [Reply]
Curious to learn more about him and Pat's sideline disagreement at the end of regulation. I love that he wants the ball if he's open, but I don't necessarily love him jawing at the GOAT in the Super Bowl, if that's what happened.
His drops were pretty bad early on but this guy is one of the biggest reasons why we ended up winning it all. He really came on the last several weeks and that allowed things to open up for the offense [Reply]

Oh well, champs.
that’s what happened. He came off the field and complained to a coach then said something to Mahomes who went off on him. [Reply]
The kid is tough too. There were a lot of plays where it looked like he was hurt and might come out of the game but he stayed in and continued to make plays. Good stuff! [Reply]

In Rice's defense, he was open. But Mahomes very quickly snapped back and corrected him, and they got back on track.
I just see the competitive fire in both of them to be great in that exchange. Hopefully there's no genuine bad blood between them. [Reply]

I sure hope not because I was thinking of getting a Rice jersey this time.
I'm gonna guess that they will talk about it in film review and it will be the end of it. You don't want a rookie challenging your future HOF QB in the SB. However, you also have to love that fire and want to win in him. [Reply]

I doubt it lingers. Heat of the moment thing.
But, next year if he complains about not getting the ball publicly, or another blow up occurs on the sideline..... now, we got a problem. Cross that bridge when we get there. if ever. [Reply]
I feel like Rice will really start taking over that Kelce intermediate pass role next season. With that in mind we need to stay aggressive finding other pieces that compliment him. [Reply]
