That distinction goes to Bobby Bell, who is not only the greatest Chief LB ever, but the greastest Chief ever.
I say this as a man whose favorite player ever is Willie Lanier, who would be 2nd on the list of great Chiefs LBs, just ahead of DT.

Thomas has longevity, but aside from that, I don't think he's as good as Houston. I would give him the edge in speed rushing, but I think Houston is a more complete pass rusher. I also think he's a much better run defender, and there is no comparison in their ability to cover.
Derrick Thomas is the most overrated Chief in history.
