Price emerged as a top contender for 'Mr. Mankato' (training camp MVP) after coming 'out of relative nowhere to prove he was a good receiver.' At 5-foot-8.5, 180 pounds, Price is winning with separation and at the catch point while not allowing cornerbacks to bully him physically. The source notes 'Nobody expected Price to be much of anything in terms of actually contributing as a wide receiver, and now he's doing exactly that.' Despite being undersized and likely a slot receiver at the NFL level, Price is projected as a wide receiver four and punt/kick returner long-term, but his training camp leap demonstrates he cannot be overlooked.PositiveRoleAug 23, 2026

Price was the standout offensive performer in joint practices; he was the most targeted receiver and caught just about everything thrown his way in position drills, redzone, and full team drills. He looks sharp and confident and has solidified his roster spot as possibly WR4, though it's unclear if this will translate to significant offensive snaps this season.PositiveBreakoutAug 19, 2026

Myles Price made a notable 17-yard reception on a play where McCarthy 'hung in the pocket' and threw 'in between the numbers in the intermediate part of the field.'

Price also caught a short pass earlier in McCarthy's series.PositiveRoleAug 16, 2026
Price was excellent in the preseason game, catching four passes for 51 yards (12.8 yards per catch), including a one-handed touchdown grab from Wentz.
