The Patriots selected Thornton out of Baylor in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft. The 22-year-old began the campaign on injured reserve after suffering a fractured clavicle in the preseason. He made his NFL debut in the team's Week 5 victory over the Detroit Lions.
Thornton's speed makes him a potential game-changer for the Patriots offense. He ran a 4.28 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, the third-fastest mark in the 2022 class. In four years at Baylor, Thornton tallied 143 receptions for 2,242 yards and 19 TDs.
The promising young wideout will look to carry his momentum into a Week 7 showdown vs. the Chicago Bears. The Monday Night Football matchup could mark his first official game with Mac Jones under center.
