Rashee Rice is one of the Kansas City Chiefs’ most highly anticipated rookies and has made his presence felt early and often at the team’s training camp in St. Joseph, Missouri. He showcased his elite talent after the catch on Friday, juking a defender nearly out of his shoes after recording a reception on a pass from backup quarterback Blaine Gabbert.

Plays like this have become routine for Rice as he has started blending in with the Chiefs’ top-tier receiving corps at Missouri Western State University this week. Kansas City will rely on him to develop into a trusted target for quarterback Patrick Mahomes as a rookie, and moves like these are sure to endear him to the reigning MVP who values his receivers’ abilities to gain yards after the catch.
Watch for Rice to continue getting looks with Kansas City’s first and second-team offenses as Andy Reid and the Chiefs coaching staff figure out where he should sit on the team’s depth chart ahead of the regular season.
