49ers met with WR Brenden Rice, son of Jerry Rice, at NFL Scouting Combine

Rice (6-3, 205) achieved career highs in his senior year with the Trojans, recording 45 catches for 791 yards and 12 touchdowns. He amassed 11 catches for 1,821 yards and 21 touchdowns over his four collegiate seasons, the first two of which were spent with Colorado.

Before the Super Bowl, Rice acknowledged that the 49ers possess a stacked roster, praising players like wide receivers Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel, and running back Christian McCaffrey. He was particularly complimentary of the team's All-Pro left tackle, Trent Williams.

"Trent's a dog, man," Rice said. "... He's the most athletic on the team, and people don't understand that. ... There's a difference [in] having a dog mentality, and then you got wolves. Wolves eat dogs. He's a wolf. He's going to go out there and kill some of your top players in the game day in and day out."

Pro Football Focus gave Rice a career-high 77.8 overall grade for his efforts in 2023. He was USC's second-highest graded wideout, behind the team's receiving leader this past season, Tahj Washington.
