A learning process

Vikings rookie Sidney Rice has always been ahead of the curve, but that has never precluded the 20-year old receiver from going through a valuable process - learning. From memorizing pass routes in a playbook to realizing the sacrifices his mother made for him, Rice is constantly learning and getting better....

i really think that Rice will turn into a number 1 by next year, he has great hands, they say he has to work on his cuts, but also say he changes things they tell him to change, at least he can listen, learn, and apply it.

"I like what I see," Bevell said after Thursday's OTA. "He really has great ball skills. He's still a young player; he has a lot to learn. He still needs to learn to use better technique getting in and out of his cuts...but you can see just from the two weeks that they've been here he's made those improvements, and he'll continue to get better."

Good to hear. I hope he has a very rewarding career as a Viking.
