KC Chiefs WR Rashee Rice burst onto the scene as a rookie, but QB Patrick Mahomes thinks he'll make an even greater impact in his sophomore campaign.
selected in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft wasn't the same one they got once the season began. Rashee Rice evolved from a consensus contested catch option to becoming a full-fledged post-catch maestro. It all happened amid struggles, progress and a championship for the team.
Kansas City hopes that a more well-rounded Rice will take the field in 2024. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes is not only optimistic, but he expects it. Speaking to the media this weekend, the two-time NFL MVP said he's seen Rice grow before his very eyes. Trucking along that path will help him and the entire offense as he enters year No. 2.
Rice's rookie year can be best summed up by splitting it into a few sections. From Weeks 1-5, he posted just one game with more than 50 receiving yards. Over the next five games, heright around the 50 mark. After that, he truly came into his own. From Weeks 12-17, Rice averaged seven receptions and 86 yards per game. One could argue that he was the most productive pass-catcher the Chiefs had over that span.
With another offseason for Kelce and Rice to jell, Mahomes should have a more fluid operation this season. The addition of Marquise "Hollywood" Brown figures to smooth things over even more, especially considering his skill set. In his lone offseason with the organization, Brown's leadership and on-field play have left an impression on Rice already.
