The rookies have officially landed in Kansas City ahead of the Chiefs’ rookie minicamp this weekend.
One of the first processes that the incoming draft class goes through is getting fitted for their equipment. The team released a video of a very excited Rashee Rice trying on his helmet for the first time.
The second-round draft pick out of SMU first picks up the helmet looking at it and chuckling to himself in disbelief. Then he gets a chance to try that bad boy on, which is when the dream really starts to set in for the rookie receiver.
“Yeah, I like that,” Rice said to the equipment staff. “Y’all like that? I love it, I love it. I don’t think I want to take it off.”
“What’s that feel like, Rashee,” asked the Cameraman.
“Man, words cannot explain,” Rice responded.
A pretty cool moment to kick off a weekend that is sure to have a few of them. It certainly won’t be the first time that a player realizes that their dream of playing in the NFL has finally arrived.
