6 Chiefs Whose Stock Has Fallen Ahead of Training Camp

1. Rashee Rice, Wide Receiver

A breakout star as a rookie in 2023, Rashee Rice was the primary wide receiver for the Chiefs. He hauled in 79 passes for 938 yards and seven touchdowns. Even with Xavier Worthy and Marquise Brown added, Rice was set to be the focal point of the passing game in 2024 and beyond.

He likely will remain the top receiver but his stock is lower than ever due to his off-field concerns. Rice is currently facing an NFL suspension for two separate offseason incidents. First was an arrest for his involvement in a six-car crash, which resulted in serious injuries.

"Rice, 24, was arrested in April for his involvement in a six-car crash in Dallas in March that left at least seven people with injuries. He is facing one count of aggravated assault, one count of collision involving serious bodily injury and six counts of collision involving injury, according to police." — Adam Teicher, ESPN

Before a decision was made by the league, Rice found himself in trouble again. This time, he was accused of assault at a Dallas nightclub.

Rice might not be in danger of losing his job right now but the Chiefs don't typically put up with much — no matter the talent. Take Kareem Hunt for instance. Despite gaining 2,984 yards ad scoring 25 touchdowns in 27 games, Hunt was released during his second season when he was involved in an altercation with a female at a Cleveland hotel.

That means Rice needs to make sure not to push his luck anymore. The Chiefs have remained patient but his image is tarnished and that could be a problem if he doesn't clean up his act.
