The Kansas City Chiefs continue to stock up on speedy wide receiver options with their latest addition in the NFL Draft. SMU standout Rashee Rice was selected at pick No. 55 in the second round after a trade to move up with the Detroit Lions.
Rice collected over 1,300 yards and ten touchdowns last year for the Mustangs, showing consistent production capabilities. The Chiefs see value in Rice as part of their growing receivers room, and he has the support of his former college teammate. Chiefs quarterback Shane Buechele finished his college career at SMU from 2019-2020 after transferring from Texas and spending a brief period as Rice’s teammate.
