He made the Chiefs' regular season roster in the 1974 NFL season as a backup to middle linebacker Willie Lanier, but he played only on the special teams in 14 regular season games. In July 1975, the Chiefs traded Thornbladh to the Detroit Lions for an undisclosed future draft choice. The Lions placed Thornbladh on waivers in August 1975.
