Versatile FSU Linebacker with NFL-Ready Coverage Skills and Toughness
The 6-3, 205-pound outside linebacker from Miami brings rare versatility to the position. Rice excels in coverage with fluid zone drops and strong jam techniques on receivers, while also proving tougher between the tackles than typical at the position. His quick read on run plays and agility getting past blockers make him a complete defender. However, durability concerns loom after missing the 2021 season due to injury. For teams seeking a smart, multi-dimensional linebacker who can play Tampa-2 MIKE, Rice offers NFL-caliber instincts and athleticism—if health cooperates.
