The New England Patriots have good depth at wide receiver, but their lack of a true No. 1 star at the position means they need someone to step up and exceed expectations during the 2023 NFL season.
One player with breakout potential is Tyquan Thornton.
In fact, NFL Network's Peter Schrager recently revealed his list of the top five breakout candidates among wideouts and Thornton came in at No. 4.
Thornton was selected by the Patriots in the second round (50th overall) of the 2022 NFL Draft. A collarbone injury suffered in the preseason forced him to miss the first four games of the regular season.
