Brenden Rice could be one of the best WR2’s in the NFL in a few years while flirting with WR1 status. He has great size and is incredibly reliable in regards to catching what is thrown to him. He runs good enough routes but we have concerns about whether his athleticism will be enough at the next level. He is a super long strider that lacks short area quickness and takes a long time to get into high gear. However, the physicality he possesses should allow him to be effective still. He has the upside of a WR1 but will likely settle in as a very good WR2.
