In a sea of underwhelming Kansas City Chiefs receiving options, Rashee Rice proved to be a problem for opposing defenses to deal with. However, the Chiefs rising star has now found himself with legal problems of his own after a controversial incident.
Police are looking for Rice after his a car registered or leased to Rice was involved in an accident on Saturday, via the Dallas Morning News. A race between a Corvette and a Lamborghini turned into a six-car accident. Rice is the suspected driver of the Corvette.
The Lamborghini reportedly traveled onto the shoulder and hit the median, leading to a “chain reaction,” with the other vehicles. After the accident, the drivers in both the Lamborghini and Corvette ran from the crash rather than checking on anyone else involved.
Two people were treated at the site of the crash. Two more were taken to the hospital. In both situations, they were described as minor injuries.
Rice was not in the Dallas' police records as of 9:50 a.m. local time. It is still not clear if charges will be pressed. However, with the car registered to Rice, officers at least have questions for the wide receiver.
Early in the offseason, both the league and the Chiefs will monitor the ongoing legal situation. Losing the WR for any amount of time would be a major blow to Kansas City. However, his accident has become a serious issue both sides must address in time.
Rashee Rice's rookie season
Rice is accustom to the Texas area as he played his college football at SMU. The Chiefs were certainly impressed by his efforts, as they selected him in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft.
He exploded onto the scene, appearing in 16 games and starting eight of them. Rice caught 79 passes for 938 yards and seven touchdowns. Outside of Travis Kelce and Rice, no other Chiefs pass-catcher had more than 50 receptions, 500 yards or four touchdowns. The rookie receiver played a crucial role in Kansas City winning the Super Bowl, grabbing a record-breaking 26 passes throughout the playoff run.
The Chiefs know just how crucial Rashee Rice is to their offensive success. But he'll enter the offseason program with questions floating over his head after his worrying car crash incident.
