Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice received a heartwarming sendoff from his neighbors as he headed to the airport to join his teammates for Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas. In a video posted on CBS Sports' Instagram reel, Rice's neighbors lined the street, dressed in Chiefs gear and holding signs to show their support for the rookie sensation. Rice waved back, clearly appreciative of the turnout. The video, accompanied by two heart emojis on Rice's Instagram Story, captured the touching moment.
Rashee Rice has had an impressive rookie season in the NFL. The former SMU player recorded his first 100-yard receiving game in week 12 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Three weeks later, he broke the Chiefs' single-season rookie receiving touchdowns record with seven touchdowns. The 23-year-old has made a significant impact on the team and has received praise from his teammate and fellow Texan, Patrick Mahomes.
