Four games into his career in Kansas City, Tyquan Thornton has already generated 47% of his career yardage total with the Patriots and is at a career high in touchdowns. The Chiefs’ investment in Thornton has paid off in a big way already. He’s on pace for 43 receptions, 774 yards, and 13 touchdowns if he plays a full 17-game season. While those numbers probably aren’t sustainable with the return of Xavier Worthy and Rashee Rice, it speaks to his value to the team already.
Thornton’s role in the offense feels like it has real staying power, too.
