Why BRENDEN RICE Was THE MEGA WR STEAL of the Draft (Who Is He?)

Everyone knows Hall of Fame WR Jerry Rice, but many probably do not know he has a son who is currently a rookie just drafted by the Chargers. After becoming a decently hyped up recruit at Chandler High School in Arizona, he went to Colorado to try and save the Buffaloes, but he found that to be a near impossible task and left for USC when Lincoln Riley gave him a call. After exploding this season with Caleb Williams, Rice is now a big time prospect and will be a steal for the Chargers, enjoy!

Tahj Washington .... Trojans' best receiver dropped even below teammate Brenden Rice in the draft.

[@TheHuggmg]

Yeah, I was watching this then it got all quiet. Lol All good dude. Appreciate you making content for me to watch. Keep it up!

[@forevertj]

Brett Smith. HE never got a chance. How about Americans that went to the CFL and had great careers? Why did the USA scouts miss them?

[@Cooljohn760]

This guy is definitely a steal and not due to nepotism. This is guy will be a NFL star.

[@yodaddy9362]

No he won't.

[@dasshape00]

He went to a team that he can start day 1. It's a blessing

[@rickpeterson8825]

​@yodaddy9362 Well, he will definitely be more successful than your bum ass!😂😂😂😂

[@cvandy2252]

I'm genuinely cconfused how a dude that runs a 4.5 40 and a 10.7 100m is somehow considered slow.

[@billyb9067]

Seriously they don’t think about when he’s in motion his longer strides will be better. They just think off the line speed.

[@d_rod3]

Yea 40 times are deceiving. Game speed doesn't always translate to 40 time... Look at Jerry

[@gardetto265]

4.55 40

[@user-jh8id3lf8x]

People don't know he was injured during combined he said it on keshon podcast

[@diggingmystyle]

​@@user-jh8id3lf8x I never thought he looked fast at any moment playing for USC. He's just not a gifted athlete like the top WRs

[@wheelchairmanjon]

Jerry needs to take his son to the legendary hill and teach him how to train like he did Jerry’s work ethic was second to none talent plus work ethic equals greatness

[@cjcurtis8944]

How do you know he hasn’t already?

That's not fair. There are dozens of prospective steals.

[@jinkade]

Yep, we about to see some 6000 yards seasons from QBs with all these WR draft steals.

[@jonysparks1]

If he PoPs! It will be Bigger than Tom Brady being picked in the 6th round.

[@coleworld2429]

youre outta your mind… craziest statement i ever read

[@kyletucker3811]

I'm tentatively hopeful Brenden can make the leap and fix his consistency issues with my Chargers. If he can, he might be amazing. He runs angry and will really fit the ethos of a Harbaugh team. I'm cautiously optimistic he can become a WR2.

[@Nunyabznis]

My Chargers definitely need WR help but he’s not gonna usurp Palmer, Ladd, QJ etc. I doubt it. QJ stunk last year but odds are he’ll bounce back. Gonna be interesting.

[@XXLepic]

Literally blows my mind that he fell to the 7th round. Crazy steal and I won't be shocked if he prove to the world he should've been way way higher

[@SeanTheDon-vj4kw]

I honestly hope he pulls a Randy Moss and plays with a huge chip on his shoulder, while completely cooking every single team that passed up on him! 🔥🔥🔥😂

[@diggingmystyle]

​@SeanTheDon-vj4kw Randy Moss was considered an elite talent and a freak of an athlete. He fell because of character issues. Rice fell because he doesn't compare well to other elite WRs. I hope he proves them wrong but I just don't see it.

[@SeanTheDon-vj4kw]

@@diggingmystyle Still, I would've thought he'd be AT LEAST a 4th or 5th rounder, not a 7th! And despite the fact that Moss fell as far as he did, he STILL managed to get drafted in the 1st round! Like I said ...I hope Brenden proves his critics wrong! ☺️🏈 *Side note: An interesting list of elite/HoF WRs that _didn't_ even get drafted in the 1st round.... - Charlie Joiner 😃⚡(1969/4th round, 93rd overall...) - Cris Carter (1987/4th round supplemental draft...) - Steve Largent (1976/4th round, 117th overall...) - John Stallworth (1974/4th round, 82nd overall...) - John Taylor (1986/3rd round, 76th overall...) - Lance Alworth 🦌⚡⚡(1962 AFL draft/2nd round, 9th overall...) - Chad (OchoCinco) Johnson (2001/2nd round, 36th overall...) - Isaac Bruce (1994/2nd round, 33rd overall...) - Hines Ward (1998/3rd round, 92nd overall...) - Keenan Allen 😎⚡(2013/3rd round, 76th overall...) - DK Metcalf (2019/2nd round, 64th overall...) - Steve Smith Sr. (2001/3rd round, 74th overall...) - Rod Smith (1994 ....

[@diggingmystyle]

@@SeanTheDon-vj4kw it's always an educated guess because you never know who's a late bloomer and who's going to be dedicated. I wish him the best.

[@SeanTheDon-vj4kw]

@@diggingmystyle True ... and to add onto my previous list of non-first round receivers .... here are a few more notable names that I forgot to mention.... - Andre Reed (1985/4th round, 86th overall...) - Terrell Owens (1996/3rd round, 89th overall...) - Cooper Kupp (2017/3rd round, 69th overall...) - Julian Edelman (2009/*7th round*, 232nd overall...😯) - Drew Pearson (1973 ....

[@ronin7997]

I'm rooting for Brenden to secure a roster spot on the Chargers. Living in the massive shadow of his dad's legacy has got to be rough, but this might lend itself to a great mentality to push him into the pros. Hard work beats talent when talent fails to work hard, Bolt Up!

[@gamingtyme3209]

I never really saw the hype with him, but I hope he turns into something special, especially since he’s on my favorite team now

[@diggingmystyle]

The hype was the last name.

[@basedkirby_2604]

“Who is he?” Is CRAZY to put in the title about literally Jerry fucking Rice’s son lmao

[@The_Loathsome]

USC alum here. Seeing him fall was pretty baffling. He was never going to be a number 1 but this guy is above average at everything. He will be a 650-800 yard/6-9 TD a year type of guy. A real problem if he’s you’re 3rd or 4th best receiver.

[@russellkott8348]

If he's the Charger's Tyler Boyd then it's an absolute steal.

[@The_Loathsome]

@@GrayCrosby Guess he’s fortunate to have Herbert throwing him passes.

[@brandontran5362]

Brenden Rice went Hamilton high school not the rival high school in Chandler btw

[@bw5277]

surprised he didn't go a bit earlier

[@bunjidogg]

Hard to call him a steal when no one else wanted him.

[@tonyj9743]

That's exactly what would make him a steal. That combined with on the field production obviously.

[@SetoKaibaYu-Gi-OhChannel]

I mean...correct me if I am wrong. But Jerry Rice when he got drafted. It was not because of his speed. It was his hands and route runing ability. Yes he had any amazing work ethic to. But from what I recall reading was that he only got on people's rader casue do to his crazy numbers he was puting up at Mississippi vally state...which I think was a d2 or d3 school. Not every hall a fame son does great in football. But i would love to know if his dad teaches him to catch a football better by through bricks at him lol 😂.

[@TWHISPERER]

My how much faster today's players are then even in the 2000s. 11 seconds in the 100 yard dash is FAST AS HECK, but now you need to be below 11 seconds to be considered fast? How far we have come in training

[@hittanomiss9702]

100 meter

[@thumper7047]

I think you need to check the connection of your mic and your audio equip.

[@juancarcamo988]

Can you make a video on Tahj Washington

[@erniemaldonado213]

He will definitely make good on his promise!.. I'm glad the chargers give him a shot!

[@SeanTheDon-vj4kw]

"Would he wear his dad's number?" Nope ... and not just because he doesn't want to live off of his dad's success or live in his shadow, but because #80 was officially retired last year in the Chargers Ring of Honor! (was worn by Chargers HoF TE, Kellen Winslow Sr.) ⚡🏈

[@monopolimanufacturing]

bro Legit

[@lymanellsworth4727]

If he plays good he will make a lot of money, no issues.

[@scottlaux6934]

I think Cornelius Johnson will be as or more successful. Big tall receiver, Faster than Rice. Great on contested balls. Great special teams player. Two TDs and 158 yards in a game against OSU. Michigan just didnt throw the ball a lot.

[@miprk6529]

They already have an embarrassment of riches. These next two years will be the most fun. So excited for my Duck Herbert.

[@Veretax]

Brandon Rice's fall as far as he did is really strange. Now granted I didn't think his production warranted a number two round pick but no 3rd 4th 5th maybe. He is not a steal because you get him in the 6th or 7th round he's a steal because I don't think he's a finished wide receiver I think he's a guy that will continue to work and will get better unlike many of the people taking earlier who are set in how they are as a player

[@dasshape00]

Stupid Bengals draft 18 TEs and scumbs. And could of drafted Rice in the 7th. Stupid. Thats why we never win it all

[@deepinthestreets5351]

This is the first video I see about him but I honestly feel he won’t make the cut. Hope I’m wrong

[@tinawillis2531]

Pretty eyes just like his pops

[@Gibbs-Bijan-moon]

You say he’s a steal based on his dad , not anything he’s done . He’s had the best mentor and training since birth and just isn’t that guy 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@kloudland505]

The Niners gonna regret not drafting him , even gore JR he wasn’t even drafted got signed after , big mistake

[@thatonewriter8043]

If you were trying to get out from under your dad's shadow, would you want to go to his team? He'd fit in well with the 49ers, but I wouldn't be surprised if he quietly told them he would prefer to make his name elsewhere. Gore Jr., though? Would have been fun.

[@zacharybrands3169]

I’d lean towards words bust but sure you can call it a “steal”

[@ManuelCorrea-jr3ds]

[@Dantheeman619]

⚡Who has it better than us NO ONE BOBODDDDDYYYYYYY ⚡

[@kelbale]

You're part of a VERY small group of people saying things like this about Rice. Mostly because we all know he's a bust before he even steps on the field. How do we know? We don't know 100% but we know not everyone can be their dad. He ain't his dad or even a number 3 option in the NFL.

[@clyde-xo5pb]

PLEASE I UNDERSTAND THE DROP WAS BS. BUT HE WAS A DA 3 PICK AT MOST

[@prodigyz1333]

Rattler had the biggest fall in the draft if we’re being honest

[@TheBrah808]

14-2. Chargers gonna charge

[@ektor182]

Everyone is a steal for views until they suck

[@MidLifeCriTSIs]

"he became awesome, with an absolutely insane stat line of 12 TD and 700 yards" come on bro these are terrible stats lol, and it was his best, all the other years he was a nothiing burger. Literally almost didnt get drafted cause every team that prospected him considered him undraftable. Even 4th round is way to early for him. Terrible take.

[@Alex-ye1br]

So....why did he fall? No one knows, got it.

[@elfil76]

Slow 40 and stiff hips.

[@DavidDominguez-xf6mp]

Daddy didn’t give him good advice should have stayed another year.

[@JordanZeh]

HE WILL BE A STAR! HIS DNA, COACH'S SON(HIS STEP-DAD WAS HIS HEAD COACH AND IT SEEMS COACH'S SONS ALWAYS HAVE A STEP AHEAD WITH FILM, ETC PLUS ADD JERRY'S COACHING ON TOP OF THAT, AND NOW..HE WILL GET ONE OF THE BEST HEAD COACHES/TEACHERS OUT THERE WITH HARBOROUGH! I BET THAT BOTH HIM AND LADD COMPETE FOR ROOKIE OF THE YEAR !!

[@thatonewriter8043]

He isn't as good as MHJ, and Caleb to Rome is probably about to become the most productive QB/WR duo out of this class. I think Rice is going to quietly be a 1k receiver by the prime of his career, and I don't know that he'd have it any other way.

[@shadhansen739]

Michael Jackson's children are great singers,too😮 seriously though; we will root for this kid. After his first seven TD's he'll only be 200 behind his old man😮

[@CinqueMalcolm]

There's no such thing as a steal in the draft and the term is just goofy. Every player went where the market thought they deserved to go, and I say that as a USC grad who expected Brenden to go higher than he did.

[@briane596able]

The steal is getting high quality play or a locker leader and not paying a premium for it early on… or for the first 4-5 yrs.

[@CinqueMalcolm]

@@briane596able That's not a steal. A steal is getting something cheaper than what the market currently dictates. Every single team has a chance to select a player, so if you last until the 7th round then that's what your value was deemed to be. And even according to your definition, you can't deem someone a steal before they've played a down of football, let alone 4-5 years down the road.

[@jobisrael8313]

Yes I think he would have looked good with that star on his helmet playing for the American team. 04-30-24
