The Chargers selected former USC wide receiver Brenden Rice with the No. 225 overall pick.
Los Angeles selected Ladd McConkey in the second round, but they seemed to be one player away from having a complete receiver room.
Brenden, the son of Hall of Fame NFL receiver Jerry Rice, caught for 791 yards and a team-leading 12 touchdowns during the 2023 regular season.
Before his two seasons with the Trojans, Rice played for Colorado. For his four-year collegiate career between the Buffalos and USC, Rice had 1,812 yards receiving and 21 touchdowns.
At 6 feet 2 inches and 208 pounds, Rice is a big-bodied and long-striding wideout with decent route-running skills. His game is predicated on physicality and his use of his strong hands to engulf passes thrown to him.
Rice also has experience returning kicks.
