Controversial star wide receiver Rashee Rice was among the players who were selected to be a captain for the Kansas City Chiefs ahead of the team's Week 9 matchup against the New York Jets at Arrowhead Stadium.
Rice — who joined the Chiefs as a second-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft — has missed time this season due to injury and filed for bankruptcy on November 4, just days before Kansas City's tilt with New York.
It is unclear if the decision to make Rice a captain was made by Chiefs players or members of the team's coaching staff, but Sports Anchor Harold Kuntz of FOX 4 KC pointed out that Rice took the field for the coin toss shortly before kickoff:
Rashee Rice one of the captains today. Jets will receive.

Stay tuned to find out if Rice's captaincy
will lead to a breakout performance for the former SMU Mustang as the Chiefs look to get back into the win column in front of a home crowd.
