Tyquan Thornton Signs With Chiefs Practice Squad

The Kansas City Chiefs have signed former New England Patriots wide receiver Tyquan Thornton to their practice squad after he was waived by the Patriots. Thornton, a second-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, struggled to make an impact during his time in New England, recording only 39 receptions for 385 yards and two touchdowns across 28 games. The Patriots' decision to release him highlights ongoing issues with their recent draft performance, particularly the 2022 class, which has not yielded significant talent. Thornton's release signals a shift in the Patriots' approach to developing young receivers, emphasizing accountability and performance. Meanwhile, the Chiefs are hoping Thornton's speed can bolster their roster, joining a lineup that includes other former Patriots players. The move reflects both teams' differing trajectories, with the Chiefs continuing to build on their recent success.
