Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice made an incredible diving catch during the team’s practice session on Monday, hauling in a well-placed throw from Patrick Mahomes.
The play came during the Chiefs’ seven-on-seven drills where Kansas City started working out the kinks in their passing game in their second full-scale practice of the training camp period.
Rice was matched up against second-year cornerback Trent McDuffie and made an exceptional move to the corner of the end zone before making a leaping grab for a simulated score.
While plays like this may not be totally indicative of his ability to out-compete veterans Kadarius Toney, Marquez Valdez-Scantling, or Skyy Moore for snaps early in the season, it provided ample fodder for fans who have championed Rice as a potential difference-maker in Kansas City’s offense as a rookie.
If Rice can continue producing highlight-reel plays like this in St. Joseph, expect the conversation surrounding his talent to reach a fever pitch ahead of the Chiefs’ first preseason game against the New Orleans Saints on August 13th.
