Fat, Drunk and Stupid is No Way to Go Through Life, Khyri

Zero-point-two. If we were grading Khyri Thornton’s rookie year with the Green Bay Packers, that would have been his GPA.

The Packers reached to pick Thornton in the third round of the 2014 draft. Here’s a guy who had 39 tackles and a half sack as a senior at Southern Miss. He subsequently came into training camp and was a complete non-factor. Zero impact.

In fact, if Thornton hadn’t pulled a hammy late last summer, you could surmise he would have been cut. He was that bad. Instead, the Packers used that as an excuse to put Thornton on injured reserve, in order to hope he could contribute something in his second season.
