2024 Chiefs player profile: WR Rashee Rice

2024 Chiefs player profile: WR Rashee Rice

Rashee Rice’s status for the Kansas City Chiefs’ 2024 season is uncertain after a tumultuous offseason that involved a car accident in Dallas, Texas which found him on the wrong side of the law.

As a second-year player, Rice is still establishing himself in Kansas City’s offense and now may face an early-season suspension that could affect his ability to contribute upon his return to the field.

While Rice proved to be a valuable asset for Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid last season, he may find himself on the outside looking in for playing time if Marquise “Hollywood” Brown, Xavier Worthy, and Kadarius Toney cement themselves as an effective starting tandem for the Chiefs.

Despite being set to enter the 2024 season at a disadvantage, Rice’s talent is undeniable, and with the right approach, he could return to form for Kansas City to again become one of Mahomes’ favorite targets in the passing game.
