Former NFL star Keyshawn Johnson indicated he scolded Kansas City Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice over Rice's involvement in a car crash that involved six vehicles and allegedly resulted from a street race.
"First of all, this is unfortunate for Rashee because I know him and he's old enough to know better. So, I'm p—-ed at him," Johnson said on Fox Sports' Undipsuted. "I've already texted him. He's not gonna respond to me because my text was not nice. I spent plenty of time with him last year before the draft, doing the draft process, the whole thing here in Los Angeles, and in Dallas as well, to get him to understand that life is getting ready to start. It's gonna be different now."
Police said the crash involving the NFL receiver six vehicles and was the result of a Dallas street race.
Whoever was driving Rice's vehicle left the scene of the accident, police added. It's not been determined if the individual driving Rice's car was Rice himself.

"Coming out into the draft, he had a little red flag here, little red flag there. He wasn't the squeakiest, cleanest guy going, which is probably why he fell to the second round instead of the late first. Went into a great situation in Kansas City - a great environment. They know how to handle situations that may be a little rocky coming in."
Rice, 23, is coming off a strong rookie season during the Chiefs' run to the Super Bowl title., catching 79 passes for 938 yards and seven touchdowns. He then set a rookie record with 26 receptions during the playoffs.
