Rice Jr., the son of former 49ers wide receiver Jerry Rice, went undrafted out of UNLV and is considered a long-shot to make an NFL roster. He did, however, impress Ravens head coach John Harbaugh.
In a text message to the Baltimore Sun, Rice Jr. said the Ravens told him they will keep him on their emergency call list if they run into injury trouble at the receiver position.
