Rashee Rice was drafted as the 55th overall pick in the second round of the 2023 NFL draft. After winning it all last season, Mahomes continued to display his skills while his receivers just could not catch passes. The concerns were very high but little did they know that they might have drafted a future star in Rice.
After a full season of Rice playing the receiver spot, it is safe to say that he is arguably the best receiver on Chiefs current roster. Rice had 938 receiving yards, 7 receiving touchdowns, and 79 receptions on 102 pass targets in the 2023 regular season. He broke the Chiefs’ franchise record for most receiving touchdowns by a rookie with 7 and also had the most receiving yards by any rookie receiver in the Chiefs’ history. In his playoff debut, Rice torched the Dolphins’ defense with 130 receiving yards and a touchdown while catching 8 out of 12 passes thrown to him.
The Former SMU product also displayed great hands as he caught 77. 5 percent of the passes thrown to him. Rice also is a tall receiver at 6 feet 2 inches which allows him to bulldoze his way through and catch difficult passes. After a season filled with questions, Rice and the Chiefs have already advanced to the AFC Championship game after beating the Miami Dolphins and the Buffalo Bills.

Even though Rice had a terrific debut in his NFL career, he did not receive the same attention that other rookies from his draft class had. However, Rice has a very good chance to win back-to-back Lombardi trophies in the upcoming 2024 season.
