He was also named a second team All-AFL lineman that season.[4]

In 1964, Rice was traded to the Oakland Raiders.[5] In 1966, the Miami Dolphins drafted Rice from the Raiders during the 1966 AFL Expansion Draft.[6][7] Rice retired from football after the 1967 season due to a back injury.[8] He was inducted into the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame in 1989.[9]
