The Facts:
As reported in a previous item. ... Rice added a noticeable amount of bulk to his upper body to be more of an every-down runner. HC John Harbaugh believes Rice can fill that role. “Not that he wasn’t a tackle-breaker last year. ... But he’s come a long way,” Harbaugh said. “Now, people see him as a third-down back because of the success he had last year, but I don’t think we have any question that he can be an every-down back.”

As a rookie, Rice placed third on the team with 107 carries for 454 yards, and he is obviously aiming to increase those numbers. And momentum for such a role is building. In addition to LeRon McClain reportedly moving back to fullback in more of a full-time capacity, Willis McGahee's ongoing recovery from off-season ankle surgery has resulted in Rice taking snaps with the starters throughout the majority of the mini-camps.
