Former NFL star Keyshawn Johnson was upset with Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice as the Super Bowl champion was allegedly linked to a car crash in Dallas and fled the scene.

Johnson spoke about the situation on Fox Sports’ "Undisputed" and said he worked with Rice before the former SMU standout was drafted and knows that he knows better than to get involved in any kind of trouble like that.

"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. "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.

"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."

Johnson pointed to the Henry Ruggs situation. The former Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver was sentenced to 3-10 years in prison over a drunken deadly crash in 2021.
