Arrowhead Pride on Rashee Rice

Source skeptical Rice will develop route-running skills needed for 2026 upside.

Rice has failed to develop the route-running and man-coverage skills needed to expand his role beyond the slot. The source is skeptical about his ability to develop these skills going forward, noting he struggles with release packages, has stiffness in his route running, cannot decelerate and separate on breaks, doesn't win downfield, and struggles in contested catch situations. For the Chiefs to improve in 2026, Rice must develop into things he hasn't done yet, but the source expresses doubt this will happen.
