What happened: Fox Sports included the second-year receiver among 10 NFL players positioned for larger roles in 2026. Price enters the preseason after handling both kickoffs and punts for Minnesota in 2025.
Why it matters: Any offensive growth would broaden a role that produced no receptions or rushing attempts as a rookie. His return workload already gives Minnesota an established special-teams option.
By the numbers: In 2025, Price recorded 57 kick returns for 1,479 yards, a 25.9-yard average, and 30 punt returns for 298 yards, a 9.9-yard average.
What to watch: Price's preseason usage at receiver will show whether his second-year role extends beyond the return units.
