The New England Patriots made headlines during night two of this week’s NFL draft when they moved up from pick 54 to 50 in a swap with the Kansas City Chiefs during the second round.
In turn, the Patriots used the pick to draft University of Baylor wide receiver Tyquan Thornton, a speedy wideout who recorded the fastest 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine with a 4.28.
Speaking with the media on a conference call Friday night, Thornton expressed his excitement about playing for Bill Belichick.
“I love him already, man. He’s a big process guy,” Thornton said.
