KANSAS CITY, Mo.
The Kansas City Chiefs didn’t reveal much about their investigation into Tyreek Hill, the player they chose in the fifth round of the NFL draft, but Hill’s former coach shared some details about how they pursued Hill at West Alabama and why he chose to take the former Oklahoma State receiver/returner into his program.
Brett Gilliland said his first reaction was “no” when he saw a Stillwater Police incident report that detailed the night Hill was accused of punching and choking his then-pregnant girlfriend. Hill later pleaded guilty to domestic abuse by strangulation as part of a plea agreement that resulted in a deferred three-year sentence.
