Thornton, who stands at 6-foot-2 and weighs 185 pounds, ran a 4.28 40-yard dash at the 2022 NFL Scouting Combine, which is one of the fastest times ever run at the Combine.

Thornton was a second-round draft pick in 2022 who would, it was hoped, emerge as a reliable and dangerous deep threat for quarterback Mac Jones. That didn’t happen.
