Just one week into the 2025 NFL season, the Chiefs are already facing big questions in their wide receiver room. With Rashee Rice serving his six-game suspension and Xavier Worthy still being evaluated "day by day" after getting injured in Week 1's loss to the Chargers, Kansas City will have to look deeper down the depth chart for players who can step up in the passing game.
One of those players could be practice squad signee-turned-roster acquisition Tyquan Thornton. Thornton, a second-round draft pick by the Patriots in 2022, spent his first three seasons in New England before getting released. Thornton spent two of those three seasons under former Pats coach Bill Belichick and apparently made enough of an impression that Belichick gave him a strong endorsement when Thornton joined the Chiefs' practice squad last year.
