Being the son of arguably the best receiver of all-time, USC wideout Brenden Rice has had large footwear to fill his complete life.
And a little bit over two months away from doubtless being drafted, Rice is A-OK if he’s picked by his father’s former crew the San Francisco 49ers, even when which means enjoying within the shadow of his 12-time All-Professional dad.
“If the 49ers are the proper state of affairs for me to go forward and battle for a high place on that crew, then most positively [I’m OK following in my father’s footsteps],” Rice told NBC Sports activities Bay Space. “I’m ready for it.”
Rice admitted a few of his favourite gamers to observe play in San Francisco, together with quarterback Brock Purdy, operating again Christian McCaffrey, receivers Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel and offensive sort out Trent Williams.
Whereas no person doubtless expects Rice to dwell as much as his father’s Corridor of Fame resume, there’s no query he’ll be repeatedly in comparison with his dad if he lands with the 49ers.
In 16 seasons with the 49ers, the senior Rice totaled 1,281 receptions, 19,247 yards and 176 touchdowns with 10 first-team All-Professional alternatives, 12 Professional Bowl alternatives, two NFL Offensive Participant of the Yr awards and three Tremendous Bowl championships.
