The Patriots typically run a multiple-personnel pro-style offense, featuring quick passes and a strong emphasis on scheme versatility and run-pass options (RPOs).
As a rookie, Thornton projects as a situational deep threat, but with development, he could become a starting 'X' receiver, utilizing his speed on vertical routes and creating separation on intermediate plays.
A slow-paced, run-heavy offense that rarely features downfield passing would negate his primary strength as a vertical threat.
Thornton's elite speed and large catch radius make him a valuable asset in an offense that can exploit one-on-one matchups downfield.
Selected #50 overall in Round 2 of the 2022 NFL Draft by New England Patriots out of Baylor.
