The rookies have officially landed in Kansas City ahead of the Chiefs’ rookie minicamp this weekend.

One of the first processes that the incoming draft class goes through is getting fitted for their equipment. The team released a video of a very excited Rashee Rice trying on his helmet for the first time.

The second-round draft pick out of SMU first picks up the helmet looking at it and chuckling to himself in disbelief. Then he gets a chance to try that bad boy on, which is when the dream really starts to set in for the rookie receiver.

“Yeah, I like that,” Rice said to the equipment staff. “Y’all like that? I love it, I love it. I don’t think I want to take it off.”

“What’s that feel like, Rashee,” asked the Cameraman.

“Man, words cannot explain,” Rice responded.

A pretty cool moment to kick off a weekend that is sure to have a few of them. It certainly won’t be the first time that a player realizes that their dream of playing in the NFL has finally arrived.

Helmet safety and protect the player but seems like that face mask has a lot of bars for a WR. Won't it hinder vision?

Looks pretty standard to me

I guess you are right. Davante Adams wears a face mask like that. Some WRs don't have the extra bars on the left and right side.

I think Rashee is gonna be a star!

Chiefs WR's in particular need the extra protection

FBTE?

You mean like..like a H back. ;)

Isn't it weird in that tweeted video of FAU that he's the only player on the field without a helmet?

He's got an injured hand so didn't do as much as the others.
