Rashee Rice has gone from being a sensational rookie in his debut campaign in the NFL to being a Super Bowl champion to being a person who is likely to be suspended multiple games due to actions off the field.
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice was already in hot water following an accident where he was racing a car, but now he is a suspect in an alleged assault that injured a man at a Dallas nightclub.
His legal trouble prompted many to do some digging into his past.
Pro Football Talk dipped into their sources and found out that the former Southern Methodist University football star had some trouble while in college.
During the pre-draft process, multiple organizations became aware of an alleged incident involving Rashee Rice while he was at SMU.
At the time, Rice believed that former SMU basketball player Kendric Davis was seeing Rice’s girlfriend. According to evidence acquired by at least one team, Rice and some of his companions attended an SMU basketball game, and according to information received by at least one team, Rice (or someone with him) fired multiple bullets at Kendric Davis’s empty automobile.
