Speed is the attribute that first comes to mind with Patriots’ receiver Tyquan Thornton. He ran a blazing fast 4.28-second 40-yard dash at the 2022 NFL Scouting Combine.
But after missing several weeks last season with a fractured clavicle, Thornton said he focused on increasing his strength and durability this offseason.
“[It was} definitely a big emphasis just getting generally stronger, so I could be able to play out there a full season,” said Thornton.
Thornton was listed at 6-foot-2, 183-pounds last season. He declined to answer how much weigh he’s put on since then.
