The Kansas City Chiefs are gearing up for a run at three straight Super Bowl championships, something that no NFL team has ever accomplished.
However, there is some concern surrounding the franchise right now, and most of it has to do with wide receiver Rashee Rice.
Rice is facing legal charges connected to a car crash he was involved in, and about a week ago, he was involved in an altercation outside of a nightclub in Dallas during which he allegedly hit a man.
Former Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton urged Rice to “keep the main thing the main thing” and make better decisions off the field, not just for the sake of his career, but also for the sake of his family, per 4thand1show.

Rice emerged as perhaps the gem of what was a young and unproven wide receiver room for the Chiefs last season by posting 938 yards and seven touchdowns as a rookie.
With All-Pro wideout Tyreek Hill long gone, it was hoped that Rice would eventually grow into their next true alpha threat on offense.
This offseason, Kansas City added wide receiver Marquise Brown, and they also drafted Xavier Worthy, a speedster receiver out of Texas who broke an NFL combine record by running the 40-yard dash in 4.2 seconds.
Some oddsmakers have the Chiefs as betting favorites to win another world title this coming season, but if Rice’s legal problems eat into his availability, that could always change, and perhaps in significant fashion.
