5. Buy stock in Rashee Rice now
SMU receivers are always so fun to watch and Rashee Rice is the next great one. Rice stands at 6-foot-1 and weighs 190, he’s lean and looks taller than he really is.
He has participated in 18 games for the Mustangs as he’s compiled 73 catches for 1,086 yards and six touchdowns for an average of 14.9 yards per catch. Rice has been able to produce as an underclassman despite SMU having multiple talented pass catchers, this is going to be his opportunity to thrive as the No. 2 receiver this season. He and Reggie Roberson Jr. are set to be a dynamic duo secondaries will struggle to stop.
Rice has incredibly smooth footwork. He’s a surgical route runner with excellent speed. He wins in all facets of the passing game, showing off the ability to win contested catches as well.
Buy stock in Rice now, send out a tweet, tell your friends about him and pick him in your fantasy leagues. Rice is going to be an NFL receiver and it all starts with a breakout season in 2021.
