2024 Player Outlook
Marvin Harrison Jr. isn't the only legacy wide receiver in this class as Brenden Rice happens to be the son of the greatest wide receiver of all time - Jerry Rice. And, like many players in the modern era, Rice hit the transfer portal after his second season to upgrade from Colorado to USC. His 45 catches for 791 yards and 12 TDs as a senior look solid before you realize USC was a top five team in the country in many passing categories including TDs. His statistics, measurables, and draft capital aren't inspiring so the bet here is on his pedigree and the lack of other high end options with the Los Angeles Chargers.
Player News
Chargers selected USC WR Brenden Rice with the No. 225 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
The son of NFL Hall of Famer Jerry Rice, Brenden Rice (6’2/208) brings elite bloodlines to whatever team drafts him. After spending two years at Colorado, Rice transferred to USC ahead of the 2022 season and immediately set career highs in receptions (39), yards (611), and touchdowns (4). He would expand on that production in 2023 (45-791-12) but has been relatively average as far as efficiency is concerned. Rice brought a 60 percent contested catch rate into his final season but caught only three of his 12 contested targets in 2023. He’s a physical receiver who possesses good size, but Rice doesn’t profile as anything more than an adequate backup at this time.
