FILE - In this Jan. 12, 2019, file photo, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill (10) gives Indianapolis Colts linebacker Anthony Walker (50) and safety Clayton Geathers (26) the peace sign as he rushes for a first down during an NFL AFC Divisional football game at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. The Kansas City Chiefs have made a habit of inciting controversy during the NFL draft in the Andy Reid era by acquiring players that have a history of off-the-field issues. The team took a chance on cornerback Marcus Peters, who was traded away after getting into trouble with coaches. It drafted running back Kareem Hunt, then quickly cut him when he kicked a woman in a hotel hallway. And it picked wide receiver Tyreek Hill, who is currently dealing with a domestic violence case that centers on the 3-year-old child he shares with his fiance. (AP Photo/Colin E. Braley, File)
