Brenden Rice, Jerry Rice’s son, is a USC product who produced 791 yards and 12 TD in 2023 but has yet to play in an NFL game. His size (6’3”) and ball-tracking ability give him a ceiling as a contested-catch/red-zone target, should he land with New Orleans. NFL interest from the Eagles also signals a real shot at joining an expanded WR corps.

Brenden Rice, Jerry Rice’s son, was picked by Los Angeles in 2024’s late rounds but didn’t see much action before being waived. The Eagles brought him in for a workout as depth behind Brown and Smith. His USC production suggests a knack for contested catches and ball skills, though NFL-ready burst and quickness remain questions. A good camp could earn a practice squad or 53-man roster spot as a developmental depth option.

Brenden Rice, 6-3, 4.50, 36.5" vertical, is Jerry Rice's son. Drafted by Los Angeles in 2024, he played 3 games with 13 offensive snaps and 10 special-teams snaps, without a catch, and landed on IR. Waived in 2025, a practice squad spot remains possible, with pedigree opening doors but limited on-field production so far.

Rice’s splashy deep ball and overall mix of speed and size put him firmly in the Chargers’ WR depth conversation, highlighting the UDFA surge within a crowded receiving corps.

Brenden Rice was drafted in the seventh round by the Los Angeles Chargers, steadily carving out a role in the team’s receiving corps and gaining valuable experience.
