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

I forget where I heard it from, but Rice supposedly has been following Kelce around all year trying to get up to speed and improve as a WR. Felt like it checked out because toward the second half of the season, he settled into those soft spots in coverage just like Kelce did. Would really put my mind at ease knowing that there's someone out there trying to fill Kelce's zone beater role as he gets older. [Reply]

I know Kelce mentioned talking to Rashee on the sidelines after a failed drive around mid season on his pod. But a few times you could see them on the broadcast walking off and walking on the field together. Rice has the physical traits to get open and create seperation at the line, if the becomes KillaTravs understudy the sky or the 40 time is the limit. [Reply]

Not sure he was developed to his potential.
I'll believe it when there is more variety to the routes he wins on.
Well for Rice to reach his full potential as a rookie in Andy's offense seems like an extreme measurement. But yeah Embree has a lot to prove as the WRs coach going forward. [Reply]

When our offense was sputtering and we needed SOMEONE to win 15 yards past the LOS why could Rice not being running some deeper posts or slants?
It was just the sideways Nagy shit or the shallow crossers 90 percent of the time. [Reply]
