Chiefs’ Rashee Rice Receives Adorable Super Bowl Send-Off From Kansas City Neighbors

The Chiefs rookie got showered with love from down the block.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice achieved plenty of firsts in his rookie season in the NFL. Add another to the list.

In a video posted on his Instagram Story on Sunday, Rice was driving through his neighborhood in Kansas City when he came across a block parade set up specifically for him. A handful of his neighbors clad in Chiefs gear held up posters and rang bells to give Rice a proper Super Bowl send-off for his matchup against the San Francisco 49ers next weekend.

As he drove by, Rice rolled down his window and gave his neighborhood fan club a respectful wave.

Rice, a 2023 second-round pick, has blossomed into one of Patrick Mahomes’s most trustworthy targets behind Travis Kelce this past season and should play a key role in Super Bowl LVIII. 

He had 79 catches for 938 yards and seven touchdowns in 2023 and made his biggest impact of the postseason in the wild-card win over the Miami Dolphins, when he racked up 130 yards and a touchdown.

The Chiefs and 49ers will play in the big game at Allegiant Stadium in Vegas on Feb. 11.
