Lucas: Eyes On Chase Rice
By Adam Lucas
Like most former football players of a certain success level, Chase Rice was pondering recently what might have been if he could have stayed healthy and stuck with football.
"I wonder if I could have played in the NFL," the former Tar Heel linebacker told a friend.
"What were you doing in 2015?" he was asked.
"Well, I was on tour with Kenny Chesney," he replied.
"And where did you play?" came the response.
"We played Soldier Field, and Lucas Oil Stadium, and Heinz Field, and Lincoln Financial Field…" Rice remembered.
