Kansas City Chiefs take Pitt’s Jonathan Baldwin in NFL Draft; receiver has butt-slapping baggage

The Kansas City Chiefs needed another wide receiver to pair with Dwayne Bowe, and they got one Thursday night. The Chiefs selected Jonathan Baldwin out of Pittsburgh with the 26th pick. The Chiefs swapped first-round picks with Cleveland and will get a third-round pick from the Browns as part of the deal.

Baldwin comes with “character issues.” He was charged with indecent assault, disorderly conduct and harassment in May 2009 for slapping a woman’s butt on a bus. Although he admitted that he slapped the woman’s butt, Baldwin was acquitted. His defense attorney reportedly said the ass slap “was meant to be a playful gesture — not an insult.”
