Andy Reid's decision to have De'Anthony Thomas swap positions was pretty much a no-brainer.

After all, the Chiefs head coach said his second-year speedster was more receiver than running back throughout 2014.

“Really, last year, he ended up being more of a receiver than running back,” Reid told the Kansas City Star. “He is still taking the ball-handling, still doing stuff in the running back position, but the majority of his snaps were from that receiver position."

Thomas had more receptions than rushing attempts last season.
