Tom E. Curran of NBC Sports named wide receiver Tyquan Thornton the biggest surprise of Patriots training camp because he did not expect the rookie to get involved and thrive as quickly as he did. “Not just a straight-line blur, he’s outstanding at changing speeds and setting up sudden breaks,” wrote Curran. “He’s shown physicality and toughness despite being shaped like a Q-tip. He’s got excellent body control. He’s mature. I’m excited to watch him.”
Fantasy Impact: The Patriots spent a second-round pick on Thornton and, if all goes well, hope he can start for them come Week 1. The speedster has quickly formed a strong rapport with Mac Jones but currently ranks 112th among receivers in the latest ECR.
