Brenden Rice, the son of Hall of Famer Jerry Rice, feels as if he has a lot to prove during the Chargers' rookie minicamp.
Brenden Rice already had plenty to prove as the son of Pro Football Hall of Famer Jerry Rice. Not being selected until the 225th pick in the 2024 NFL Draft two weeks ago added more fuel to the fire. Many thought Rice would be a middle-round pick. Instead, he didn’t go until the seventh round, when the Los Angeles Chargers selected the USC wide receiver. 'My dad was hot,' Rice said about not going until late in the third day. 'The first words he said was, ‘Time to go to work.
Besides having Caleb Williams as his quarterback, Rice felt as if the transfer benefited his game in other areas as well. 'I felt as though, when I went to USC, my IQ just happened to take another jump to another level,' he said. 'With that, I was able to go ahead and find holes into defenses, read coverages, read shadow techniques, read the DBs and what they’re going to do, watch the film and know what I’m going to get from them, and what I’m going to see on game day.
