KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Rookie wide receiver Rashee Rice started slowly in his two preseason games for the Kansas City Chiefs. He dropped a first-quarter pass each time.
The second-round draft pick bounced back well enough that Patrick Mahomes is comparing him to a former Chiefs receiver, at least in terms of style of play.
“I say he has a lot of what Sammy [Watkins] had when he first got here,” Mahomes said. “Being able to catch the ball, be physical but still have speed and everything like that. He’s going to be a great player for us and we’re going to keep trying to push him to get better.
