“Rice was a 2024 seventh-round pick by Los Angeles, and he appeared in three games during his rookie season. He played three offensive snaps and 10 special teams snaps over those appearances.”
Before joining the NFL in 2024, Rice enjoyed a standout senior season at USC with Caleb Williams at quarterback. Rice finished the year with 45 receptions for 791 yards on a Trojans squad that boasted a 7-5 regular season record and prevailed in the DirectTV Holiday Bowl over Louisville.
Things haven’t been smooth for the 6-foot-3 wideout in the big leagues, though, as he’s already competed with four franchises in two full seasons. Perhaps Rice will find his groove with Green Bay and follow in his father’s legendary footsteps.
