The SMU Mustangs have an impressive résumé of NFL wide receiver pedigree. Emmanuel Sanders, Courtland Sutton, James Proche, Danny Gray, Cole Beasley, and Aldrick Robinson are among the receivers the program has converted into NFL Draft selections since 2010.
And now, there’s another. Rashee Rice heard his name called by the Kansas City Chiefs with the 55th pick of the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft.
Rice was the seventh wide receiver selected in the draft and became the fifth SMU receiver taken off the board since 2018. He is also the highest-selected Mustang since Courtland Sutton went 40th overall in 2018.
