ESPN believes this Patriots’ rookie can make immediate splash

Draft pundits are beginning to take stock of the New England Patriots 2022 draft class. One ESPN analyst believes a certain draft pick can make an impact right away.

Wide receiver Tyquan Thornton was taken by the Patriots in the second round of the draft. The speedster from Baylor is coming off a 2021 season that saw him record 62 catches for 948 yards and 10 touchdowns last season.

Thornton was part of a remake of the Patriots’ wide receiver room. New England also traded for DeVante Parker in addition to the former Baylor star, as depth and production remain key goals for the position.
