Given Steelers’ History, Potential Interest in Patriots’ Thornton is Good News

There were a fair amount of New England Patriots fans and critics who questioned the selection of wide receiver Tyquan Thornton last week with some believing the team reached on him by taking him as early as they did in Round 2.

The former Baylor standout saw the Patriots trade up from the #54 slot to #50 to land the speedy receiver, which left many wondering why, while even arguing that he would have been there for them regardless and questioned the decision to give up the assets to move up to grab him.

It sounds like there might have been a good reason.
