He was a surprise pick in the 2nd round, but WR Tyquan Thornton could thrive with the Patriots as a rookie. Here's why. FrontOffice33 | ForeverNE
From the days of Ollie Matson in the 50s to “Bullet” Bob Hayes and more recent faces in Trindon Holliday, Marquise Goodwin, and Tyreek Hill, “track speed” has been a long constant in the NFL. While many of the athletes that hang their track spikes up for football cleats are often put into a bucket of linear athletes, the newest New England Patriot——has his sights on much more than just being able to beat defenders in a foot race.
coming off the board early on day two was a surprise. Looked upon as a perimeter burner with enticing traits to develop down the road, Thornton put on a show at the NFL Scouting Combine after recording the second-most receiving touchdowns in the Big 12 last fall. A 4.28 40-yard dash opened eyes in Indianapolis and Belichick has high hopes for his young pass-catcher inside what will be an uber-competitive AFC East.
While that role was initially looked upon for Agholor to fill, he failed to meet expectations after signing a two-year, $22M deal with the Patriots last offseason, recording a substandard 473 receiving yards in 13 starts in 2021.
