Look at Michael Thomas before he got injured. They don't run away from the DB but use their body to box out and then the QB places the ball there with good ball placement (Brees).
Mahomes could do that with a Dhop or last year's draft Drake London.

Question for Rice is whether he's big enough to do that. I think a floor for him involves the contested catch element not really translating because he's not as big as he plays, and NFL players shut that down. But even then I think the floor involves him adapting, and Reid focusing on, exploiting the explosive 10-20 yards he clearly has. So worst scenario is he's maybe doing the job we expected for Moore. Probably takes him and the coaching staff a year to work out exactly what they've got.
