ST. JOSEPH, Mo. -- Listed at 176 pounds, De'Anthony Thomas is the smallest player on the Kansas City Chiefs.
He's also, pound for pound, the toughest player on his team. At least that's the opinion of special teams coordinator Dave Toub.
"He is not afraid," Toub said. "He is 176 pounds. He plays like a 200-pounder. He is not afraid to stick his head in there on kickoffs and make tackles. He is real tough as a gunner. He has quickness and top speed so he makes plays there. Then he brings a lot in the return game, both kick return and punt return.
