The Kansas City Chiefs’ offseason took a strange turn when reports of Rashee Rice’s potential involvement in a serious automobile accident in Dallas surfaced early on Sunday morning.
It is unclear whether Rice was at the wheel when the accident occurred, but a vehicle registered to him was involved in a crash, according to the Dallas Morning News.
Police in Dallas were searching for Rice, the newspaper reported, though his connection to the accident remains murky.
Rice was selected by the Chiefs in the second round of the 2023 NFL draft and found a significant role in Kansas City’s offense by the end of last season.
A Dallas native, Rice played his college ball at Southern Methodist and became one of Patrick Mahomes’ favorite targets after attending the then-reigning MVP’s throwing sessions in the Lone Star State last offseason.
