The Facts: After spending his rookie season working with the Kansas City Chiefs' tailbacks in practice and meeting rooms, Thomas has spent his time this offseason with the receivers both on and off the field, ESPN's Adam Teicher reported. "It makes me more valuable to the offense," he said. "It lets defenses look for me, see where I'm at on the field. It just gives them a different look. I believe it's a great thing."

Diehards Line: According to NFL.com, the move is an acknowledgment of Thomas' limitations in the backfield. Thomas played both spots last season. At 5-8, 176-pounds he was a liability as a blocker and relegated to certain formations and gimmicks within the offense. As a receiver, the Chiefs plan to utilize his speed in the secondary. Moving Thomas around the formation should help open up the secondary. The tandem of Thomas and Albert Wilson -- who had a solid end of the season and should be the team's No. 2 wideout behind Jeremy Maclin -- gives the Chiefs needed speed on the outside. Even with Alex Smith's tendency to play it safe with short throws, Kansas City's offense should be more diverse in 2015.
