Tyquan Thornton’s pre-draft measurements were anything but average.
A majority of his testing numbers rank in the 80-plus percentile for wide receivers. His 40-yard dash — 4.28 seconds, the fastest at this year’s NFL Scouting Combine — even cracks the top 98 percent at his position group since 1999.
On the other end of the spectrum, meanwhile, are Thornton’s weight and hand size. Measured at 181 pounds and 8 1/4 inches, respectively, they fall into the 9 and 2 percent category.
His skinny build in particular was seen as a potential red flag heading towards the draft.
