The Patriots actually traded with Kansas City during that draft for the No. 50 pick to select Thornton. The Chiefs received two picks in return, including No. 54, which they used to select wide receiver Skyy Moore.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Y1qifE\">The 6-foot-2, 185-pound receiver appeared in 28 games in three seasons (2022-24) for New England (13 starts), accumulating 39 catches for 385 yards and two touchdowns. Shoulder injuries in 2022 and 2023 limited his production.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1Siblb\">Thornton \u2014 much like JuJu Smith-Schuster \u2014 became an odd man out in a young Patriots receiver room after the team selected rookies Ja\u2019Lynn Polk and Javon Baker in the first four rounds of this year\u2019s draft. New England waived him this past weekend.<\/p>\n<p id=\"d9os9x\">Kansas City likely covets Thornton\u2019s speed: he was recorded running a 4.28 40-yard dash at the 2022 NFL Combine.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"YoRnrU\"><strong>Comparisons<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h2 id=\"gXVzbU\"><strong>Highlights<\/strong><\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">60 seconds of new <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Chiefs?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Chiefs<\/a> wide receiver Tyquan Thornton <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/k2fbwRWKhz\">pic.twitter.com\/k2fbwRWKhz<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Pete Sweeney (@pgsween) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/pgsween\/status\/1858631372887257226?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 18, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thornton became available this past weekend and chose Kansas City over other options.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3394,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3392","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kansas-city-chiefs"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>\ud83d\udea8 Breaking News: Chiefs Sign Tyquan Thornton to Practice Squad! \ud83c\udfc8\u2728 Could this speedy wide receiver be their secret weapon?
