In a post-practice interview, the rookie wide receiver said he doesn?t mind the challenges. He boldly stated “he’s expecting us to be able to run as long as we can. I told them, to be honest with y’all, I don’t mind puking. That just means I’m working as hard as I can so I won’t puke no more and be ready for the games.” As Rice navigates the demanding training sessions, he leaves no doubt that he is ready to embrace the challenges that lie ahead and make a significant impact for the Kansas City Chiefs in the upcoming season.

Rashee Rice was selected by Kansas City in the second round with the No. 55 overall pick.
