Rashee Rice Sends Clear Message to Chiefs WR Amid Offseason<\/a> originally appeared on Athlon Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Coming off their surprising blowout loss in Super Bowl LIX, the Kansas City Chiefs suffered a pretty big dent in their aura of invincibility.<\/p>\n

But while there are those who predict them to take a step back this coming season, the reality is that they still have a very strong roster.<\/p>\n

If anything, they could become a little bit better, mostly because wide receiver Rashee Rice is expected back after a knee injury in Week 4 of 2024 prematurely ended his season.<\/p>\n

Teammate Marquise Brown took to Instagram to post a message as the Chiefs continue to gather for organized team activities (OTAs) with the start of the 2025 campaign three months away.<\/p>\n

“Hope these voices in my head go quiet \ud83e\udd77\ud83c\udfff\ud83c\udf2a\ufe0f,” he wrote.<\/p>\n

Rice responded with the comment “My Bloody!\ud83e\udd1e\ud83c\udffe\u2665\ufe0f.”<\/p>\n

After trading superstar wide receiver Tyreek Hill in 2022, Kansas City has had what has seemed like a revolving door at that position. But Rice has given them hope that he can become a major go-to guy.<\/p>\n

After he was a second-round draft pick in 2023, he caught 79 passes for 938 yards and seven touchdowns as a rookie while starting eight of 16 games. Until his injury last fall, he had 24 receptions, 288 yards and two touchdowns in four games.<\/p>\n

He isn’t quite as speedy as Hill, but he has shown plenty of promise in one season and change.<\/p>\n

The new speedster in Kansas City is wideout Xavier Worthy, who set a new NFL scouting combine record by running the 40-yard dash in 4.21 seconds in 2024. As a rookie last year, he had 744 total yards and nine total touchdowns.<\/p>\n

In that Super Bowl loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, he posted eight receptions, 157 yards and two touchdowns.<\/p>\n
