COSTA MESA, Calif -- Hall of Famer Jerry Rice wasn't happy after the 2024 NFL draft.

Rice's son, wide receiver Brenden Rice of USC, was projected to be a midround pick in many mock drafts, and according to Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh, Los Angeles had a third- to fourth-round grade on him.

But Brenden wasn't picked until the seventh round, the 32nd receiver taken out of the 35 drafted. He said his draft position disappointed him and infuriated his father.
