Arsenal midfielder Rice provided an assist in England’s winning start to the World Cup against Croatia, with his pinpoint corner headed home by captain Harry Kane late in the first half.
The Gunners netted 25 goals from set plays en route to securing a first Premier League crown since 2004, with many frustrated by how reliant the side were from such a tactic.
Rice believes that fans should be excited to see England’s set pieces producing goals as such success led Arsenal to the title last season.
"I wouldn't ever take corners or set pieces, but (set-piece coach) Nico (Jover) and the manager (Mikel Arteta) at Arsenal saw something in me that others didn't," Rice told the BBC.
"They said that I can put balls in areas from a dead ball that no-one else can in the team at Arsenal other than Bukayo (Saka). From that moment, I really just bought into that, believed in that.
"As time has gone on I feel like now every time I put down a ball for a set-piece - whether it's a corner or a wide free-kick - I feel like I'm going to get an assist or make something happen that's dangerous.
"That's a good mentality to have over set-pieces ... and England fans can be excited."
England manager Thomas Tuchel is eager to replicate the style that is played in the Premier League which may mean copying champions Arsenal this summer.
