Amidst ongoing legal troubles, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice has been thrust into the spotlight for all the wrong reasons this offseason. Reports indicate that Rice is currently under investigation for allegedly assaulting a photographer at a nightclub, adding to the list of his legal woes stemming from a multi-vehicle car crash in March.
As the media delves into Rice’s past, attention has turned to previous concerns about his behavior. A viral scouting report from 2023, written by an NFL scout, recently resurfaced, containing a vague yet troubling description of Rice.
Further details about Rice’s past behavior have been uncovered in a report by The Athletic’s Nate Taylor and Jeff Howe. Allegedly, several NFL teams removed Rice from their draft boards due to an incident during his time at SMU. It was reported that Rice was accused of firing multiple bullets at an empty car belonging to former SMU men’s basketball player Kendric Davis, whom Rice suspected of involvement with his girlfriend.
Interestingly, the Chiefs were reportedly aware of this alleged incident when they drafted Rice. Despite the controversy, Rice proved to be one of the Chiefs’ most dependable receiving options during his rookie season. He led the team with seven receiving touchdowns, while his 938 receiving yards ranked second only to All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce.
