Kansas City Chiefs rookie wide receiver Rashee Rice is using his downtime to train with esteemed NFL receiver coach David Robinson. Despite the NFL being in between mandatory minicamp and training camp, Rice is honing his skills in Dallas with Robinson, who has trained notable players such as Dez Bryant, Julio Jones, and Antonio Brown.
Robinson shared clips of Rice on Instagram, showcasing the rookie’s impressive footwork and agility while running routes and doing footwork drills. Rice’s injury, which kept him out for nine games during the 2020 college football season, hasn’t stopped him from leading the country in receiving yards. His work with Robinson may be attributed to his veteran mindset.
Going out of his way to train with Robinson during this period of the offseason proves that Rice is looking to carry over the success he had at SMU last season. The rookie’s determination to improve during his downtime is a good sign for the Chiefs and fans who hope he will continue to be a standout player on the field.
Rice’s training with Robinson provides him with an opportunity to learn from one of the most distinguished NFL receiver coaches in recent history. As the Chiefs head into training camp, it will be exciting to see how Rice’s work with Robinson translates onto the field.
