Alleged gun incident involving Rashee Rice raises concerns for NFL teams

STORY: Rashee Rice, a wide receiver for the Kansas City Chiefs, has been in trouble with the law recently. He was accused of assaulting a photographer at a nightclub in Dallas. This incident led to people looking into his past. It turns out that Rice has been involved in multiple alleged criminal actions, including the nightclub assault and a street racing incident that caused several cars to crash on a Dallas highway. Before Rice was drafted by the NFL, teams were aware of his past behavior. During his time at SMU, there was an alleged incident where Rice believed his girlfriend was involved with a basketball player named Kendric Davis. As a result, Rice or someone with him fired multiple bullets into Davis' car. This incident was known to NFL teams, including the Chiefs, but Rice was still drafted in the second round. Rice is facing eight felony charges from the street racing incident and is being sued for $10 million by victims of the crash. He could also face punishment from the NFL under the Personal Conduct Policy. Despite his legal troubles, Rice performed well on the field, leading the Chiefs' wide receivers in catching yards. An unnamed executive described Rice as "not a good dude" due to his legal issues. Even before the 2023 NFL Draft, an NFL personnel director was not impressed with Rice's attitude. Rice's behavior has raised concerns among NFL teams, but he continues to play for the Chiefs as the legal process unfolds. Police reports indicate that Rice was involved in a chain-reaction crash, where he was one of the speeding drivers. He is also suspected of assaulting someone at a nightclub in Dallas. Rice's attorney, the Chiefs, and the NFL have not commented publicly on these matters. Despite the controversies surrounding him, Rice reported for voluntary workouts with the Chiefs, and the team is monitoring the situation as it develops.
