Chiefs receiver De’Anthony Thomas arrested in drug possession case
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver De’Anthony Thomas, a former standout at Crenshaw High, has been arrested on suspicion of possessing marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
The sheriff’s office in southeast Kansas’ Allen County said in a Facebook post that Thomas was booked Saturday. The 26-year-old from Lee’s Summit, Mo., has since been released on bond.
The Kansas City Star reports that a Chiefs spokesperson says the team is aware of the incident but has no comment.
Thomas finished his fifth season with the Chiefs on the injured reserve list after suffering a fracture in October in the same leg he fractured the previous season.
Thomas has 64 career receptions for 503 yards and four touchdowns.
He is set to be a free agent when the market opens in a few months.

I think you may be misunderestimating DAT's potential contribution to our Super Bowl season, Mr. dlphg9.
When you isolate his actual plays with Mahomes at QB, his FEQ (FAX Effectiveness Quotient) is pretty dadgum high. A handful of snaps led to 1 gimmick TD, 1 almost super long TD (messed up by an All Pro with a highlight PBU), not to mention a trick punt return for almost 50 yards against the Stoolers.
We'll have to disagree on this one, I guess. I see DAT as a fella who already knows the system and represents a threat ... whether he's the primary or not.
Andy has always loved DaT. Hopefully, he'll be the backup for 5 different positions but never start at any. DaT did a surprisingly good job at gunner though. [Reply]
