Sidney Rice #4
Wide Receiver
South Carolina
Ht: 6'4
Wt: 202

Strengths: Elite size. A tremendous athlete. Has the ability to make difficult catches. Excellent leaping ability. Great hands. Decent speed. Can make plays after the catch.

Weaknesses: Has room to bulk up and become a more physical receiver. Has some minor durability concerns. Route running is shaky. Needs to become more consistent overall.

Comments: Rice had a tremendously productive junior year at South Carolina and played his way into first round consideration. His production in a passing system that struggled throughout 2006 leads scouts to wonder just how good he could have been as a college receiver in a better system. His size and speed is matched by few receivers in this draft and despite being raw overall, he has the potential to develop into a true number one receiver.
