A former NFL quarterback offered some unsolicited advice to Kansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice.
Rice, 24, faces multiple felony charges for his involvement in a multi-vehicle crash in Dallas, Texas this summer. Recent allegations surfaced that Rice had assaulted a photographer at a Dallas area nightclub, but no charges have been filed in that incident. No matter, the NFL is expected to issue a multi-game suspension for Rice as early as the upcoming season.
During his weekly YouTube show, former Carolina Panthers and New England Patriots QB Cam Newton spoke directly to Rice after being asked the following question: What would you say to him right now?
"Playboy, sit your ass down somewhere bro," Newton exclaimed. "Like I'm not gonna just talk reckless. I never met (Rashee Rice), you know what I'm saying, but if I were to see him, 'Boy, you too loud right now bro.' What're you doing it for? You got kids? What do you want to do it for? You got family to take care of? What do you want to do it for? You can do that shit out of the way. Keep that shit in perspective. Keep the main thing, the main thing. You want to be punching photographers and driving recklessly? And I know you're young, granted, but bro, you're responsible for too much shit to have that be where you put your hat on. 'Oh, he's young. He'll get it.' By the time he gets it, it's gonna be over with. How many times do we see this? Because I will tell you there is not a person in the NFL — Patrick Mahomes included — the league don't need you bro. Trust me, they do not need you."
Newton, 35, was the former first overall pick in the 2011 NFL draft. He spent a decade with the Carolina Panthers and a season with the New England Patriots before he found himself out of the league. He believes that the reason he hasn't played a down since 2021 is because he scares people. He says the way he dresses and his unwillingness to be a puppet or be controlled has kept him from another opportunity. That's probably something he can live with after over a decade in the league. A young player like Rice might want to heed his warning and take the unsolicited advice, otherwise, he might find himself coming to terms with that reality sooner than later.
