Jerry Rice is obviously remembered more for his days leading the NFL in receiving and winning Super Bowls with the 49ers than he is for his end-of-career stint with the Raiders, but make no mistake\u2014he was an excellent Raider in his time with the team. In fact, Rice\u2019s 1,211 yards in 2002 still ranks 10th all-time on the franchise\u2019s single-season receiving chart.<\/p>\n

\"Raiders<\/p>\n

Now, with this weekend\u2019s NFL draft looming, Rice\u2019s son, Brenden Rice, is preparing to enter the league after a four-year collegiate career. And at Raiders.com, there is some hope he winds up joining his father in the silver-and-black.<\/p>\n

Asked about Rice, team writer Levi Edwards said he could foresee the team adding him as an X receiver to the team\u2019s stable of wideouts.<\/p>\n

\u201cI truly believe Brenden Rice is one of the more underrated players in this class \u2026\u201d Edwards wrote on the site.<\/p>\n

\u201cLike his Hall of Fame father, he has great route-running abilities and ball-tracking skills. He\u2019s also an inch taller and nearly 10 pounds heavier than his father during his playing days. He also ran a 40-yard dash .2 seconds faster than his father. The Raiders currently have only five receivers on their roster, and I think Rice would be an impressive Day 2 or 3 addition.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brenden Rice Racked Up 12 TDs in 2023<\/h2>\n

\"Raiders<\/p>\n

Rice caught\u00a045 passes for 791 yards\u00a0last season for USC, scoring 12 receiving touchdowns, which ranked tied for\u00a0No. 9 in all of college football. He is not the nuanced, precision player that his father was as a receiver (no one is), but is a more physical player at 6-foot-2, 208 pounds.<\/p>\n

He was solid at the NFL combine, even if he did not drastically improve his stock. Rice ran a\u00a04.50 40-yard dash, which was 24th\u00a0out of 30 wide receivers.<\/p>\n

From\u00a0The 33rd\u00a0Team\u2019s scouting report: \u201cRice clearly has traits that will transition effectively to the next level, but his 2023 tape strongly suggests the kind of receiver who will be team and scheme-specific. Rice has excellent size and physical and competitive toughness to his play, but he is not a sudden or explosive athlete, which consistently showed up on tape.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was featured significantly in USC\u2019s offense in 2023 as the boundary X, which demands that you separate and win vs. man coverage as a foundation of the position. Still, there will be legitimate questions as to whether Rice can do that at the next level vs. quality corners.\u201d<\/p>\n

Raiders WRs Need Serious Help<\/h2>\n

Now, to be clear, Brenden Rice does not have the talent level of his father. Not close.<\/p>\n

He is on an almost mirror-image trajectory as his dad. Where Jerry Rice was an overlooked prospect who played for Mississippi Valley State in college, but was impressive enough to warrant a first-round spot in 1985, Brenden Rice spent two years at Colorado before\u00a0transferring to USC\u2014two blue-blood football powerhouses\u2014for his final two seasons.<\/p>\n

And it might be a nice bit of symmetry if their careers were opposite reflections in another way\u2014with Brenden Rice starting his career in the place that Jerry Rice effectively ended his (half-season in Seattle notwithstanding).<\/p>\n

Edwards pointed out, the Raiders only have five receivers on the roster as things stand, and two of those\u2014Kristian Wilkerson and DJ Turner\u2014did not catch a single pass last year. The work was all done by\u00a0Davante Adams,\u00a0Jakobi Meyers\u00a0and\u00a0Tre Tucker.\u00a0There is certainly room for additions in that group.<\/p>\n

Rice could well make an ideal one.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
