  "account": "Monty Rice, a former Georgia Bulldogs linebacker, experienced a setback as he was cut by the Los Angeles Rams. This occurred as part of the team's final cuts to bring the roster down to 53 players, according to Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk. The Rams signed Rice on August 13, just a few weeks prior, and he played in all three preseason games, contributing with seven tackles and a 64.6 passer rating. However, his Pro Football Focus grade was a disappointing 52.7 due to missing three tackles and registering two stops, as reported by PFF. Rice's tenure with the NFL has been unpredictable since being selected in the third round of the 2021 NFL draft by the Tennessee Titans. After three successful seasons with the Titans, he was waived by the team in December 2023 and claimed off waivers by the New Orleans Saints, only to be released later that same month. Rice then played for the Atlanta Falcons, New England Patriots, and Detroit Lions, but was cut each time. Rice's NFL career so far includes 131 total tackles, five tackles for loss, and two passes defended. Despite his recent struggles, it remains to be seen if Monty Rice will find another NFL opportunity.",
