Rashee Rice, Wide Receiver, SMU

Height: 6’1  Weight: 204lbs

Career Stats: 233 receptions, 3,111 receiving yards, 13.4 yards per reception, 25 touchdowns

If the Cowboys want to make sure that they can put points on the board against anyone they are going to need to get another receiver that can pick up those tough yards and Rice is that type of player. Once the ball is thrown in his direction, defenders are going to have to do everything they can to stop him from making the catch. That alpha mentality on the field is what has made Rice the receiver he is today: tough, physical, and a player who looks like he can become an even better player as he gets his footing in the NFL.

The Cowboys have added speed this offseason in the form of Brandin Cooks. Now they can add a physical possession receiver with a high ceiling as well to give them a well-rounded group of receivers.
