Patriots draft profile: Brenden Rice could help address the X-receiver issue

Related Topics: New England Patriots

Projected top-5 selection Marvin Harrison Jr. is not the only son of a Hall of Fame wide receiver entering the NFL Draft this year. Brenden Rice, whose father Jerry is the most productive pass catcher in league history, also is making the jump from the college to the pro level this spring.

While not as high-profile a prospect as Harrison Jr., Rice offers some serious talent in his own right — talent that might be appealing to a New England Patriots team in need of upgrading its offensive skill position arsenal.
