Chiefs DE Frank Clark Honors KC Legend Derrick Thomas During Super Bowl Parade

It's party time in Kansas CIty, and all of the Chiefs players found all manner of ways on Tuesday to celebrate their Super Bowl LIV victory. Patrick Mahomes was seen finding assorted ways to both consume and distribute beer. Travis Kelce gave a speech for the ages. The memories are stacking up.

Defensive end Frank Clark was naturally among the revelers, and was basking in the glory of bringing a NFL title to Kansas City for the first time in 50 years. Clark also made sure to recognized the legends that tried to do what he and his teammates did, and helped lay the groundwork for everything that took place this season in KC. Specifically, he paid tribute to the late, great Derrick Thomas.

Thomas was a nine-time Pro Bowler who had an 11-year career with Chiefs. Thomas tragically died at age 33 from blood clots after a car crash had left him paralyzed from the chest down. His passing rocked not only Chiefs fans, but the entire NFL world, and for Clark to take the time to make sure Derrick Thomas' name got some spotlight again was a spirited, classy move.

If Frank Clark wasn't already forever known as a Chiefs legend for his performance this season, he certainly cemented his status after paying homage to a Kansas City icon of years gone by.
