As the Carolina Panthers move toward the 2024 NFL Draft, they are already making their interest known in one University of Southern California wide receiver.
Brenden Rice has a top-30 visit scheduled with the Panthers, Justin Melow of the NFL Draft Network reported Wednesday morning.
Rice also has a top-30 visit scheduled with the Arizona Cardinals.
Rice is the son of NFL legend Jerry Rice. His football history runs deep.
He has good hands and a great head on his shoulders. By all accounts, he has also aced every step of the pre-draft process.
His visit with the Panthers doesn't come as a surprise. The Panthers are in desperate need of a wide receiver who can be a day-one contributor.
During the 2023 season, Bryce Young's pass-catching talent started and stopped with veteran NFL wide receiver Adam Thielen.
Currently, Rice is projected to be a good backup with the potential to develop into a starter.
His player comparison is Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, according to NFL analyst Lance Zierlein.
In his 2023 college season, Rice racked up 791 yards on 45 catches and 12 touchdowns. It was the best season of his college career.
The top-30 visit shows the Panthers believe they can develop him into an everyday NFL player. And having Jerry Rice as a father has to help.
