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

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.
Hardman was so damn good at jet sweeps. The way he could plant and turn up field always impressed me.
I don’t see a natural on the team for those this year. Toney would be the obvious pick, but I don’t need him taking any unnecessary hits.
Moore is probably the next in line. He’s quick and slipper enough, but he’ll likely never break one. [Reply]

Exactly my point; Hall of Famers drop passes as well, even in playoff games. Not at all surprised a rookie dropped one or two. Certainly nothing to worry about. [Reply]

I'm not saying it's anything to worry about I said it's been the only negative thing to say about him. This was in his scouting report as well. [Reply]
