New England Patriots receiver Kendrick Bourne gave his first impression of rookie wideout Tyquan Thornton, the team’s second-round draft choice.
Bourne and Thornton put in on-field work together for the first time at organized team activities on Monday in the team’s first practice session of the 2022 offseason. That’s where Bourne got to see Thornton, who was limited in practice during team drills. He was able, however, to participate in positional drills.
“Tyquan’s dope,” Bourne said after practice on Monday. “We gonna get some weight on my guy. But (Thornton) is blazing, though. … Good attitude, also. He’s bought in. You could tell he cares. And I think it was a dope pick, man. We need speed and we need to add that downfield threat, man. So, I think he gives us that part of the field.
