They're just different. Hopkins is obviously more experienced and polished. Rice is young/inexperienced, but probably significantly faster/quicker, and more physical after the catch. I try not to think about it much, but my fervent hope is that somehow Veach gets Hopkins to return next season, and Rice can then learn how to be a more complete WR. The dividends that'll pay after DHop retires/leaves the team will be . . . something to see.
