Am I wrong to get Reggie Wayne with better hops vibes here?

R&R ....Rice and Ross time

Is 4 going to be his official number? I like it

Yea, it's his HS #

And some were worried about his ability to get separation...He's WFO!!!

The worries about getting separation all were from before we knew he was playing on a fractured toe.

I think we may have gotten a steal but you shouldn't take victory laps about the reactions after the draft, everyone was going off the information at the time.



If we got a first round steal at 55 this pick is going to be legendary. I love this kid's attitude

Incidentally, his numbers before the injury which happened DURING the Maryland game are uh

I'm tempering my expectations, especially the 1st year. But if he pans out and becomes a top WR it'll go a long way to putting to bed any criticisms of Veach's WR drafting. Rice was a guy that was all over the shop on people's evals it seems, and lots admitted he is/was a hard evaluation.

Did people listen to this?

9:27. PFF is on and saying that it's basically mathematically impossible that Rice ran a 4.51 40 and he thinks there was something screwy with the laser timing. It would make sense why Hyatt's was slow too, and Tank Dell.


edit: also Jordan Addison

My eyes see speed

Look at this.


Tell me that 40 score doesn't just stick out like a sore thumb

I really like Rice, think he's gonna be a real nice fit here.

But looking at the names on that list....I dunno if that really tells us much.

Durability, good hands, YAC machine.

Oh and his 10 and 20 yard times are right there with Toney. He’s not a great vertical threat like an MVS but we don’t need him to be that.

He can play the Juju role with success the way we had Juju do it last year. Only a matter of if he can get the playbook down

The point with the 10 and 20 times not lining up with the 40 time is that the 40 time is fiction.

If it's true he ran a 4.4 for coaches I will never complain about his speed again, he's plenty fast.


Also his 10 time is faster than Toney so he will be juuuuust fine getting open off the line.

Word that he was practicing double moves at the request of the Chiefs since he wasn't asked to do it in college and he must have shown promise in that as well.

I apologize to everyone for ever doubting this pick. It's like Pickens without the drama and he could have been a first rounder. No wonder Veach traded up to make sure he got his guy.
