THE Kansas City Chiefs have a new offensive weapon lurking on their squad.
The Chiefs added Tyquan Thornton to their roster this offseason, and could turn him into a star.
Thornton was nothing short of an NFL Draft bust with the New England Patriots.
He was drafted with the 50th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft by the Patriots, but never found his footing with the team.
In his rookie season, Thornton had 247 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
However, in 2023 he had just 91 yards and last season he only brought in 47 yards.
That lead to him being waived by the Patriots before the completion of his rookie contract.
The Chiefs added him to their practice squad though, and activated him for training camp.
He has been seen wearing the No. 2 in Chiefs camp and catching deep passes from Patrick Mahomes.
In a Chiefs offense that is desperate for a true WR2, Thornton could carve out a role for himself if he plays well in camp.
Chiefs fans also have high hopes for Thornton, and have shared their thoughts on social media.
“Thornton having a successful career in KC would be the funniest thing ever,” one fan said.
“Our speed is INSANE!!!!” another fan said.
“A Lot of speed now on offense. Hope it pays off,” a third fan said.
“Let’s sling it this year plz,” a fourth fan said.
“That’s great, now let him do it in a game please,” a fifth fan said.

The Chiefs are looking for revenge this season after their devastating Super Bowl loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
This year could also be the last year Travis Kelce plays in the NFL.
The Chiefs need to put their best foot forward and have a bounce-back offensive year.
Thornton could be one of the key pieces of that progression.
