Chargers rookie wide receiver Brenden Rice says his father, Hall of Famer Jerry Rice, isn't happy his son wasn't taken until the 225th pick of the draft.
An NFL prospect finding motivation from where he was drafted is hardly a new story. But, for Chargers wide receiver Brenden Rice, the tale comes with a twist — a twist involving the greatest ever to play his position. “My dad was hot,” Rice said Friday after the opening of rookie mini-camp. “First words he said were, ‘Time to go to work.’ He said, ‘I will be with you every step of the way.
” He took the call from the Chargers late in the afternoon while sitting in the Dallas airport waiting to fly back home. “It was a blessing from God because He allowed me to mourn the death of my friend and then after that be happy,” Rice said. “It was a glorious day.” Rice and Miller met in 2019 while on a recruiting visit to Colorado. They both ended up playing for the Buffalos before transferring, Rice to USC and Miller to Texas A&M-Commerce.
