"Thornton, 25, had the best season of his career last year with the Chiefs. In 14 games, he produced a career-high 438 receiving yards on 19 receptions, including three touchdowns. Known for his elite speed, Thornton was able to establish a strong connection on deep passes with quarterback Patrick Mahomes."
"After Week 5, Thornton led the Chiefs in receiving yards, posting 272 yards and three touchdowns. One surprise from the Chiefs is that they didn't maximize Thornton's potential in the second half of the season once fellow receivers Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy returned to the lineup. Thornton played above 30% of the offensive snaps only once in his final seven games."
"He entered the league in 2022 with the New England Patriots as the 50th pick. In 28 games with the Patriots, Thornton recorded just a combined 39 receptions for 385 yards and three total touchdowns."
Tyquan Thornton, 25, agreed to a two-year contract with the Kansas City Chiefs worth $11 million with a maximum value of $14 million. The wide receiver had his best professional season in 2024, recording 438 receiving yards on 19 receptions with three touchdowns across 14 games. Known for elite speed, Thornton established strong chemistry with quarterback Patrick Mahomes on deep passes. After joining the Chiefs practice squad in late 2024, he exceeded expectations and led the team in receiving yards through Week 5 with 272 yards and three touchdowns. However, his production declined in the second half when receivers Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy returned, playing above 30% of offensive snaps only once in his final seven games. Thornton was originally drafted by the New England Patriots in 2022 as the 50th overall pick.
