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

The only real concern is route tree stuff. He's gonna have to refine his. But he has the physical tools to be worth the patience, IMO.
And when Moore and Rice go for 1,000 yards each someday, so will end the great WR wars of 2022-23 and we'll just elephant walk our way through the Arrowhead parking lot.
Now I know DJ has been hacked - I know he doesn't think Moore will go for 1000. [Reply]

Chiefsplanet members. Rice was just lucky his high school coach gave him the playing time that our coaches refused to give us. Otherwise, we'd be right there - dropping fastballs from Patrick Mahomes, too. [Reply]
Great catch radius with those long arms. Will catch passes like a WR 2-3” taller because of that and also help getting off press. Shane Buechele is familiar with him I’m sure. Haven’t looked up if they played a year together or just missed but there’s that connection even being a small one [Reply]
I love the "Mahomes wanted CEH" bullshit like it's remotely the same thing. He didn't work out with CEH...he just offered his opinion on him. But people have to be fucking stupid. [Reply]

I dont know what he threw him or how intense the workout was, do you?
I dont give a flying fuck about what happened in a workout. How many training camps do you have to go through where some dude is hyped up the entire time to only turn out to be the shit everyone knew he was?

Probably not this past year's Offense Player of the Year, all pro WR KC has been linked to acquiring, and a HoF WR. That over the top hyperbole is ridiculous.
Twisted nailed it: this WR class is packed with smaller receivers; we went and got the bigger guy who we think can convert on tough downs. Aka JuJu++. Solid pick. [Reply]
