Maurice Price (born September 11, 1985) is a former gridiron football wide receiver who played for the Calgary Stampeders and Ottawa Redblacks of the Canadian Football League (CFL). He was signed by the Kansas City Chiefs as an undrafted free agent in 2007. He played college football at Charleston Southern.
Price was also a member of the New England Patriots, San Francisco 49ers, Baltimore Ravens, Florida Tuskers, Washington Redskins, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Price attended Olympia High School in Orlando, Florida and was a student and a letterwinner in football. In football, he was a three-year letterwinner, and as a senior, he was a first team All-County selection and a second team All-Central Florida selection. As a junior at Charleston Southern University he led the nation in receptions with 103 passes caught. Price then entered the NFL draft pool, skipping his senior season. He impressed many teams with his extraordinary athletic ability which included over 11 feet in the broad jump and over 40 inches in the vertical leap.
After being passed-up in the NFL draft he was offered undrafted free agent contracts by 15 NFL clubs. He chose the Kansas City Chiefs and again impressed in training camp until an injury ended his season in 2007 and he was placed on the Injured Reserve. Price was signed by the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent on May 8, 2007. He was placed on injured reserve on August 28, 2007. He led all Chiefs' receivers in both receptions and receiving yardage in the 2008 pre-season games, including a touchdown at Chicago in his first NFL game appearance. He made the Chiefs' 53-man roster in 2008, but was waived by the team on September 9, 2008 and re-signed to the Chiefs' practice squad on September 11, 2008. He was then waived from the practice squad on September 19, 2008. Following this release he received attention from many NFL clubs and worked out for three clubs before choosing to sign to the Active roster of the New England Patriots.
