Chiefs Training Camp: Connection With Mahomes Turns WR Into 'Biggest Winner'

According to Taylor, Rice was the most-targeted wide receiver for the two-time NFL MVP. He got more looks than fellow wideouts such as Hollywood Brown and Xavier Worthy, while trusted tight end target Travis Kelce was in the mix as well.

"I've got to be better at throwing the ball down the field," Mahomes said of his goals for 2025. "In order for the offense to be great, you've got to complete those passes. It starts with me and giving those guys chances, but if we can do that, it's going to open up the offense in general."

Which players impressed at Chiefs training camp?

Rice, whose knee injury limited him to four games in 2024 after a breakout rookie campaign in 2023, was not the only player who impressed on Tuesday at Chiefs training camp.

First-round draft pick Josh Simmons, an offensive lineman out of Ohio State, took first-team reps at left tackle, an area of concern for Kansas City.

On the other side of the ball, third-year defensive back Chamarri Conner showed off his playmaking skills with a goal line interception of a pass intended for Kelce.

Will Rashee Rice be suspended for the 2025 NFL season?

Rice, 25, was sentenced to 30 days in jail after pleading guilty to two third-degree felony charges stemming from a car crash in Dallas in 2024.

As part of a plea agreement, Rice was sentenced to five years of deferred probation during which he must serve the jail time — it does not necessarily have to be during the NFL season.

Though he is a full participant in training camp, Rice is subject to a potential suspension under the NFL's personal-conduct policy.

"We have been closely monitoring all developments in the matter which remains under review," the NFL said in a statement after the sentencing.
