1977 Rookie Profile: Bill Rice

Defensive Tackle
8th Round
BYU
"Bill played for three seasons in a pro 4-3 defensive setup at BYU, and all of the reports on him were conclusive insofar as tenacity was concerned. 'Very tough and very aggressive,' said the reports, and that's an attribute that can't be taught.
Scout Jerry Shay is convinced that Rice has outstanding potential and that with solid work can develop into a fine player. Other reports on Rice indicate that he has exceptional strength at the point, that he reacts to the ball very well and has the ability to fight off the double-team block. He hustles all the time and tackles extremely well. The consensus is that he could be a pleasant addition.
Bill hails from Provo, Utah."
