Bill Belichick Advocated for Tyquan Thornton in Kansas City
Tyquan Thornton found his way to Kansas City thanks to a surprising advocate, former Patriots head coach Bill Belichick. Belichick personally recommended Thornton to Andy Reid, telling him, "He's really got great potential." After three underwhelming seasons in New England, Thornton was released following the 2024 season. The Chiefs took a chance on him, and he immediately made an impact in Week 1, catching two passes for 41 yards against the Los Angeles Chargers. More importantly, Thornton played 72% of the offensive snaps, which is a clear sign that Kansas City wants him involved. With Xavier Worthy and Rashee Rice both sidelined, Thornton could see an expanded role in this week's Super Bowl rematch against the Philadelphia Eagles. While it's tough to trust him in starting fantasy lineups just yet, Thornton is firmly on the waiver-wire watchlist. If his usage grows in Week 2, he could emerge as a valuable piece in a depleted Chiefs receiver room.
