FOXBORO, Mass. — Despite a lackluster rookie season, Mac Jones sees greatness ahead for Tyquan Thornton.
Thornton, who played more than 500 snaps in 2022 but caught just 22 passes, was one of the standout performers Wednesday at New England Patriots organized team activities. The second-year receiver was heavily involved throughout the non-padded practice and showed a strong connection with Jones, catching all three of his targets in 11-on-11 drills and several more in 7-on-7s.
After practice, Jones delivered a positive review of the 2022 second-round draft pick.
“I think Tyquan, he’s done a really good job just trying to be consistent,” the quarterback said.
