Nelson Agholor is taking Patriots rookie wide receiver Tyquan Thornton under his wing

Nelson Agholor and Tyquan Thornton are on opposite ends of the experience spectrum inside the New England Patriots’ wide receiver room.

While Agholor entered the NFL as a first-round draft pick by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2015, Thornton arrived in the league not even two months ago; the Patriots invested a second-round selection to bring the Baylor product aboard just earlier this year. Agholor has already played 108 games at the pro level, Thornton a mere 47 in college.

It is obvious that there is plenty of wisdom the veteran can impart onto the rookie — and Agholor appears to be more than happy to do just that.
