Andy Reid Addresses If Chiefs Knew of Alleged Rashee Rice Shooting Before 2023 Draft | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid was asked on Monday if the team was unaware of a previously unreported incident regarding wideout Rashee Rice during his college days at SMU, when he or someone with him allegedly shot into the empty car of basketball player Kendric Davis, who Rice believed was seeing his girlfriend.

"The way I'd leave it with you... is we knew enough to draft him, you know, and then we just went with the process and we, you know, we found that it was satisfactory for us," he told reporters.

Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk reported in May that "multiple sources expressed a belief that every team was aware of the incident before the draft, including the Chiefs" and that "the incident was never reported to authorities by SMU."

Rice, 24, is currently facing eight felony charges for his involvement in a multi-car crash in April while he was driving a rented Lamborghini. He fled the scene on foot. If convicted, he could be facing up to 35 years in prison.

Rice was also accused of assaulting a man in early May at a Dallas nightclub, though police have said that the alleged victim has chosen not to press charges.

"The reporting party has signed an affidavit of non-prosecution," the Dallas Police Department told ESPN's Adam Teicher. "The investigation is ongoing."

Rice, who was a rookie with the Chiefs in 2023, is potentially facing an NFL suspension regardless of how his various legal issues play out.
