Patriots host four free agents for tryouts ahead of the Panthers game, headlined by Brenden Rice, Jerry Rice’s son, who flashed big-play ability at USC but remains a long shot for NFL relevance. Rakim Jarrett, Drake Dabney, and interior lineman Aiden Williams also auditioned, with New England carrying one open spot on both the 53-man roster and the practice squad. The move signals a depth-and-upside approach as Gillette prepares for Week 4.

The Saints worked out Brenden Rice, USC standout and Jerry Rice’s son, to add size to their wideout corps. Rice, who posted 791 yards and 12 TD in 2023, has yet to record an NFL stat and stands 6-3 with a 4.50-ish clock. His workout comes as New Orleans added Devaughn Vele and scouts more free-agent options behind Chris Olave.

Philadelphia also hosted Rice, underscoring league interest in a big outside target. With Olave as the top option and Vele returning from injury, Rice would be a developmental depth piece who could carve a red-zone/contested-catch role if he lands with the Saints, offering dynasty/Fantasy upside on a best-case path.

The Eagles worked out Brenden Rice, Jerry Rice’s son, aiming to add WR depth behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith after the Chargers waived him. Rice’s USC production suggests upside as a reserve, though his pro-grade burst and press-man separation are questions.

Philly’s ongoing WR evaluations signal a broader search for competition and depth in a room that could lean on schedule-driven opportunities. If Rice makes the roster, he’d be a back-end lottery ticket with upside in a favorable offense and a path through special teams to a larger role if development accelerates.

Brenden Rice, Jerry Rice's son, was waived by the Chargers after a scant rookie season, leaving a path to a practice squad at best. His 6'3" frame, 4.50-second 40, and 36.5-inch vertical keep fantasy observers curious about a pedigree-driven late shot, especially if he lands with a depth-chart that values special-teams versatility.

Pedigree can open doors, but production and opportunity matter. The Giants context or another landing spot could spark a small, immediate role on return or gadget plays, with longer-range upside if he refines routes and separation. Watch roster moves closely this summer.

The year 2020 proved to be pivotal for Arizona high school football, producing an extraordinary crop of recruits now making waves in the NFL. Among them, Bijan Robinson, selected 8th overall by the Atlanta Falcons, stands out as a leading running back. Kelee Ringo, a fourth-round pick by the Philadelphia Eagles and Super Bowl champion, continues to impress. Other notable names include safety Lathan Ransom, who won a national title with Ohio State and is now thriving with the Carolina Panthers, and Jacobe Covington, who transitioned from Washington to USC before signing with the Kansas City Chiefs. Finally, Brenden Rice was drafted by the Los Angeles Chargers, contributing to the franchise's depth.

This 2020 class was unique, with 39 players signing with Power Five schools, establishing a benchmark for future recruits. Fast forward to the 2027 class, which is already catching attention with stars like Noah Roberts and Jake Hildebrand, both four-star recruits. Other promising talents include Dontay Tyson, Mikyal Davis, and Zerek Sidney. The potential for this later class may challenge the legacy of the standout 2020 class, setting the stage for another thrilling chapter in Arizona high school football.
