Sidney Rice is a wide reciever for the Minnesota Vikings. He is my favorite player on the time. He is a very fast, agile, running back and he has great hands. Although he may not be as fast as other wide recievers such as Randy Moss, he has proven to be a go to guy this season because of his amazing ability to find the ball and catch it. He has very good hands. He doesn't drop many balls. Rice was drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in 2007 in the 2nd round. He was the 44th overall pick. He signed a four year contract with the Vikings for $2.981 Million. In 2007 and 2008 Sidney Rice spent much of the season sidelined because of a knee injury. He lost his starter position to Bobby Wade. However, in 2009 he won his starting job back and had the best season of his career thus far. He had a 176 yd game against the Baltimore Ravens with 6 catches. The next game against the Pitsburgh Steelers he has an even better game. He completed 10 catches for 136 yds. In week 10 against the Detroit Lions, Rice managed another impressive 201 yd performance with 7 catches. He finished the 2009 season with 1,312 yds, 83 receptions, 15.8 yds receiving, and 8 touchdowns. On November 18, 2009, for the first time; Rice recieved the award for NFC offensive player of the week. On December 29, 2009, Rice was also honored as a NFC pro bowler. This was also the first time he has won this award. Unfortunately he did not play in the pro bowl though due to being unhealthy.
