Like Johnston, he just really compliments Toney and Moore perfectly, and I'm excited to see those 3 grow into a potentially great trio.

This me.
All the things you wanted from Johnston (big WR with YAC ability, ability to win down the field in contested spots), Rice can do. You can make an excellent case that while Rice is 2" smaller and a 0.05 tick slower in the 40, Rice is a better 1x1 downfield receiving threat because of his vertical, strong hands, and demonstrated ability to win contested catches.
