What the Patriots are saying about rookie WR Tyquan Thornton’s struggles

New England Patriots wide receiver Tyquan Thornton has hit a bit of a bump in the road, as the rookie wideout adjusts to the NFL.

He had a breakout game against the Cleveland Browns that saw him catch four passes for 37 yards and a touchdown. He also rushed the ball three times for 16 yards and a touchdown. Since then, his production has dipped a bit. He had no receptions in Thursday’s loss to the Minnesota Vikings, and he’s had just four receptions in the last five games.

The 22-year-old wide receiver has shown his speed and explosiveness at times for New England.
