A Pair of Kansas City Chiefs offensive linemen were arrested in Johnson County, Kansas, on Thursday night.
Wanya Morris and Chukwuebuka Godrick, both 23, were taken into police custody for marijuana possession, which is a misdemeanor in Kansas.
Booking records show that the OLs were detained at the Johnson County Detention Center and released on Friday afternoon after posting a $2,500 bond.
Morris was drafted by the Chiefs in the third round last year. He made four starts as a rookie in place of an injured Donovan Smith, allowing two sacks and 27 pressures. He is tipped to lock down a starting role in the team’s offense next season.
Godrick, who hails from Lagos, Nigeria, joined the Chiefs as a designated International Pathway Player in 2023. A former basketball player, he hadn’t played an organized American Football game before the most recent preseason and had nearly given up on sports altogether.
It’s Been A Crazy Offseason For The Kansas City Chiefs
Since winning the Super Bowl in February, the Kansas City Chiefs have had a crazy ride.
It began with a mass shooting incident at their parade after their second straight championship in which one person was killed and dozens of others were wounded.
Rashee Rice has also been in the news recently for various legal reasons. Following a hit-and-run incident in Dallas a few weeks ago, the wide receiver could be suspended for a significant number of games in 2024.
Additionally, kicker Harrison Butker has had the country come down on him after delivering a speech at a commencement ceremony in Kansas a few days ago, with fans trying to get him cut.
Colin Cowherd Wants The Jim Harbaugh/Caleb Williams Treatment For Caitlin Clark
Colin Cowherd pointed to the NFL, which has scheduled relatively easier matchups for the Los Angeles Chargers and the Chicago Bears to capitalize on the allure of Jim Harbaugh and Caleb Williams.
He also cited soccer stars David Beckham and Lionel Messi as examples, noting that the MLS ensured Beckham’s landing in Los Angeles and has allowed Messi to make an unbelievable amount of money.
“Sometimes you got to make stuff work. David Beckham got to LA, Messi got to Miami. I’m not sure if it was the Illuminati, secret handshakes, smoke filled rooms,” he continued. “Make it work.”
“Get Messi paid. Get Beckham to LA. Get Caitlin Clark an easy schedule.”
While Caitlin Clark is the biggest draw in basketball right now, fans could lose interest in her if she keeps on losing and fails to replicate what made her a star in college.
Of course, the competition in the WNBA should by no means be easier than the NCAA’s, but the league might not be helping itself here.
