Rashee Rice was a key piece for Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs to win their second consecutive Super Bowl. The rookie wide receiver looked like the eventual successor to Tyreek Hill in head coach Andy Reid’s offense.
However, an off-the-field mistake could cost him dearly. On March 30th, the player was involved in a multiple-car crash due to speeding in Dallas. He was driving one of the vehicles that caused the incident.
Although the NFL has not made any statements regarding the matter, Rashee Rice’s real troubles lie with the Dallas police, who have issued an arrest warrant. Therefore, facing increasing pressure, the star had to make a decision.
During the crash at North Central Expressway, seven people had injuries as a result of Rice speeding with Theodore Knox of SMU, who was driving the other car.
