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 mean, Tyreek Hill is nothing like Jerry Rice. AJ Brown nothing like Deandre Hopkins.
So as an explanation when someone asks what a player they haven't seen is like, you pick a guy who's got a similar style and use that as a comp.
You're acting like that's ridiculous, but it's really not. Nobody's saying they're going to be as successful in the NFL, they're just saying this is the "TYPE" of player.
Nothing to do with ****ing uniform colors or whatever. This is dumb.
I see size, speed, measurements can be equated, for sure. What I think is ridiculous is thinking "this guy is same size as ______" = obvious comp. It is ridiculous. FFS, Justin Jefferson was the NFL Offensive Player of the Year. D'Andre Hopkins is a legitimate NFL all-pro year after year. ROD SMITH is a Hall of Famer. These are the guys to which this second round pick out of SMU, that few had on their draft board this high btw, are being compared. Come on. Bruh. The breathless hyperbole is ridiculous. That is all I have pointed out, yet fatass zach thinks "nah, that's not hyperbole, it's totally legit to comapre this kid out of a Div 2 (arguably) school = comparable to a Hall of Fame player".

Yeah I don't really need affirmation on my opinion from Mahomes. It's just a simple opinion that I could be proven wrong on. And to be honest, Mahomes is an exceptional QB, that doesn't make him an exceptional talent scout. Case in point, CEH. So it's not like it's some type of mic drop that Mahomes likes the guy. [Reply]

People are comparing players and you are banging your hooves against your keyboard crying about it. :-) [Reply]

CEH was basically Barry Sanders here on that draft day. I wait to see them play in the NFL before I really make any judgements. There's still hope for Skyy Moore turning into prime AB because AB also had 200 yards his rookie season tho :-) [Reply]

You're so insightful. No other dumbfuck in this thread has brought that up yet. Just you. That's an original thought. Yep. You're Sherlock fucking Holmes. [Reply]

Also, something no ones talking about is his YAC ability, boy can he make guys miss. I am definitely seeing the Sammy Watkins comps.
It seems to be a huge focus of his game which will be great to see. [Reply]

I have no idea if Rice will put up the same kind of career numbers, but that's what I see when I watch the tape. I see a young Hopkins.
Does he have Hopkins' hands? I think his best trait is that he rarely drops a pass. If Rice is even close to that, this is an outstanding pick. [Reply]
