With the 165th pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs select WR West Alabama WR Tyreek Hill. He's listed as a WR but could be a RB. Sounds like an Andy Reid type of pick.
He left Oklahoma State under less than ideal conditions after that with a domestic violence incident. I'm sure Hill and / or the Chiefs will address that. But yeah, that's ugly.
The Chiefs took Tyreek Hill, who pleaded guilty to domestic violence and is on probation until 2018. NFL teams are really cracking down.

Hill said that he visited Kansas City before the draft. Our OSU blog, Cowboys Ride For Free, was surprised that Hill was drafted based on his past. However, he says he's the most electrifying player he's seen since Dez Bryant.
Ryne Nutt, the lead scout on Tyreek Hill, said the #Chiefs did due diligence on him, added he's the best returner he's seen in 7 years.

I'm not sure what this means for De'Anthony Thomas as this seems to be a similar typer of player.
Bill Snyder once called Tyreek Hill "The fastest guy in the world." https://t.co/6TcfHgPqPB

Something strange about a decorated military veteran announcing Chiefs picking Tyreek Hill, who pleaded guilty to domestic violence.
