Former NFL star Keyshawn Johnson recently voiced his discontent with Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice, who is allegedly linked to a car crash in Dallas and reportedly fled the scene. Johnson, speaking on Fox Sports' "Undisputed," expressed disappointment in Rice's actions and emphasized that the young player should know better.
Having worked with Rice prior to his draft and knowing him personally, Johnson expressed his frustration and anger regarding the situation. He revealed that he had already texted Rice but received no response, as his text conveyed his displeasure. Johnson had spent considerable time with Rice during the draft process, emphasizing the importance of making responsible choices as his professional football career began.
Reflecting on Rice's draft prospects, Johnson mentioned that the young wide receiver had raised a few red flags during the selection process, possibly leading to his falling to the second round instead of being chosen in the late first round. Despite any concerns, Rice was fortunate to find himself in a positive environment with the Chiefs, who have a reputation for handling challenging situations effectively.
Johnson drew attention to the case of former Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs, who was recently sentenced to 3-10 years in prison following a deadly drunken crash in 2021. He highlighted the seriousness of such incidents, urging young players like Rice to exercise caution and make responsible choices, especially considering their transition from college to professional football.
While Johnson was unaware if Rice was the one driving during the car crash, he expressed his hope that someone had stolen Rice's car. However, he stressed that if Rice were indeed involved, it would be an incredibly foolish decision on his part. Johnson criticized the notion of driving fast and engaging in racing activities, emphasizing the potential dangers and consequences associated with such reckless behavior.
Dallas police have been actively searching for Rice as part of their investigation into the crash, which resulted in four people being injured. State Senator Royce West, acting as Rice's attorney, stated that his client was cooperating with the authorities and would take all necessary steps to address the situation responsibly.
It remains to be seen how the situation will unfold for Rashee Rice, as the repercussions of his alleged involvement in the car crash are being examined.
