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

Also, I'm being negative? I thought this was a football message board where people discuss what they see. Being negative is saying something and hoping above all else I'm right even though it hurts the team. I want Rice to be awesome and to be completely wrong.
Aj Brown is more appropriate cause he just doesn't have the swiftness of Aiyuk to me. Like Notorious said, his feet are a little heavy. He can move well but it's not like Aiyuk/Deebo/Sammy Watkins. He moves like AJ Brown or Dwayne Bowe. [Reply]

Not that he was slow, exactly, but his leg and foot speed visually looked sluggish.
But, it is probably just a different looking stride than I am used to seeing, because he isn't slow. He doesn't look fast, but he isn't slow.
I always thought that if I watched Tyreek Hill run all alone that I might not realize how fast he is.
It’s when I watch him effortlessly blow by safeties in spite of the fact that he’s running in slow motion that I realize the generational talent he has.
Rice, though obviously not as fast as Hill, got separation beside sprinting defenders despite looking like he was running with Buicks on his feet in the game. [Reply]
Mostly he looked like he was fast enough, to me anyway.
There was that one jet sweep he ran though. He got tackled behind the LoS. Think that was him. He didn't look fast on that one. Though I'm not concerned that we actually need Rice to run jet sweeps. We do have other guys that can do that if he can't do them well enough for Andy. [Reply]

I wouldn't presume to know more than Andy, but it seems to me that jet sweep type stuff is better executed by jitterbug types than bigger, long striding WR's.
But that's just me.
Rice (and Ross too, while we're at it) are bigger, long striders. They're not going to 'look' fast until you notice they're outrunning CB's and S's down the field (like Rice's nice long one last night).
Hill just skewed everyone's perspective I think. [Reply]
