On Thursday more than 1,000 Chiefs fans lined up to meet wide receiver Rashee Rice at Blind Box BBQ in Shawnee. Some people waited eight hours to meet him at the event, dubbed a “meat and greet.”
According to organizers he signed everything from game tickets and trophies to backsides and babies.
One man had him sign a new rice cooker.
Offensive lineman Creed Humphrey headed home to Oklahoma with his girlfriend, Ana Demmer, who posted a photo of the couple as they celebrated early Thanksgiving.
“Thankful for a family that works (with) our crazy schedule,” Demmer wrote.
