The Chiefs selected Rice with a second-round pick in the 2023 NFL draft. He caught 79 passes for 938 yards as a rookie before his sophomore season ended after four games due to a knee injury.

The high-speed incident occurred along the North Central Expressway in Dallas. The chain-reaction collision damaged five vehicles, left two people hospitalized and injured two others. Rice and four other men fled the scene on foot without checking on the occupants of the other vehicles.

Rashee Rice claims to be “completely changed.” As the Chiefs’ wide receiver awaits a potential suspension by the NFL over his conviction from a car crash last year, he says he’s learned from the past. The Chiefs receiver pleaded guilty to two third-degree felony charges stemming from a multi-car, high-speed accident in Texas in March 2024.
