Chiefs Sign Former Patriots Second-Round Pick

Former New England Patriots wide receiver Tyquan Thornton has found a new home in the NFL, signing with the Kansas City Chiefs practice squad, according to multiple reports. The former second-round pick had nearly a dozen teams interested in his services, but ultimately decided to sign with the defending Super Bowl champs, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

Thornton was a surprise release by the Patriots over the weekend, being their second-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. However, in three seasons, he's only played 28 games with 13 starts, including just six apperances this season where he caught four passes for 47 yards.
