Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice has addressed his offseason legal issues for the first time.
In March, Rashee Rice was involved in a six-car accident in Dallas, Texas that left four people injured. Two people were hospitalized to have their injuries treated but released soon afterward.
According to authorities, Rice was traveling 119 MPH in a Lamborghini that he had leased before the crash. The second-year wide receiver was arrested and hit with eight charges that included six counts of collision causing bodily injury.
While talking to reporters on Saturday, Rashee Rice emphasized that he’s learned a lot and promises to become more “mature” following the incident, via ESPN:
“I’ve learned so much from that,” he said. “All I can do is mature and continue to grow from that. This is a step in a better direction for me…Accidents and stuff like that happen, but all you can do is move forward and walk around being the same person, try to be positive so that everybody can feel your love and your great energy.”
Police are still investigating allegations from a photographer that he was assaulted by Rice at a Dallas nightclub last month. The photographer ultimately decided not to press charges against him.
It has been widely reported that Rashee Rice will likely face a suspension from the NFL. GM Brett Veach addressed the WR position this offseason by signing former 1,000-yard receiver Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown to a one-year deal before using his first-round pick on Texas speedster Xavier Worthy.
Chiefs Will Give Rashee Rice A Second Chance
Many wondered if the Chiefs would decide to cut ties with Rice following his offseason issues. The additions of Brown and Worthy provided Veach with valuable WR insurance in the event that the Chiefs moved on from the second-year wideout.
But Patrick Mahomes has emphasized that they believe in Rice and know that he can learn from the mistakes. Rice is apologetic and promises to learn from the mishaps, so it’s easy to understand why KC wants to give him another opportunity.
Rice played a pivotal role in helping Kansas City repeat as Super Bowl champions this past season. Their quest to a three-peat will begin on Sept. 5 when Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens come to town.
