  It was on a punt return that Brenden Rice first showed his explosiveness last season. When the Colorado receiver thinks about standing at the goal line to field a kickoff, though, that's what gets him excited. "That ball, just looking at the ball in the air and the twists and turns, oh my goodness," he said. "It's something different." As a true freshman last season, Rice showed that he might be something different for the Buffaloes. With a 6-foot-3, 205-pound frame, solid speed and exceptional genes, Rice had a debut season in 2020 that was electric at times, and might just be the launching point for a stellar career at CU.

The son of NFL Hall of Famer Jerry Rice, who is considered by many to be the greatest receiver to ever play the game, Rice caught six passes for 120 yards and two touchdowns, returned a punt 81 yards for a touchdown and averaged 18.5 yards on two kickoff returns in CU's COVID-19-shortened season. Despite playing among a group loaded with talent, Rice scored on three of the nine times he touched the ball. "Being under the wing of KD Nixon and people like Maurice Bell, Vontae Shenault, the confidence factor is everything in the wide receiver game," Rice said. "You see (former NFL star) Chad Ochocinco, and all these great wide receivers; if you don't have confidence, you can't take that next step. "As soon as I caught my first touchdown, I got my feel for the game and it truly balanced out, and I felt as though I can truly come in here and make an impact, day in and day out in every single game." - Daily Camera
