Vikings 2024 NFL draft scouting report: USC WR Brenden Rice

Rice isn’t the most fluid athlete. He lumbers out of the blocks and doesn’t break sharply

When taking defenders vertically, Rice doesn’t have truly great speed to challenge corners, which will hinder him at the next level, as he’s not shifty either.

For his playstyle, expectations would be that he’s good at contested catch situations. He was not in 2023, catching just 3/12 passes. In his career, he only caught 18/37.
