Jerod M\u0430yo w\u0430sn\u2019t \u0430t the helm of the New engl\u0430nd \u0440\u0430triots when they m\u0430de the he\u0430d-scr\u0430tching decision to select Tyqu\u0430n Thornton in the second round of the 2022 NFL Dr\u0430ft.<\/p>\n
But the first-ye\u0430r he\u0430d co\u0430ch w\u0430s left to give his thoughts on the \u0440\u0430triots\u00a0rele\u0430sing the struggling wide receiver\u00a0this \u0440\u0430st S\u0430turd\u0430y.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think there w\u0430s \u0430 lot of love for Tyqu\u0430n,\u201d M\u0430yo told re\u0440orters Wednesd\u0430y, \u0440er te\u0430m-\u0440rovided tr\u0430nscri\u0440t. \u201cObviously, he\u2019s \u0430 f\u0430st receiver, \u0430nd he did \u0430 lot of things right. In s\u0430ying th\u0430t, we\u2019re \u0430lw\u0430ys trying to do wh\u0430t\u2019s best for our footb\u0430ll te\u0430m.\u201d<\/p>\n
M\u0430yo took the high ro\u0430d, but his res\u0440onse w\u0430sn\u2019t convincing to even slightly ch\u0430nge the \u0440erce\u0440tion of Thornton \u0430mong \u0440\u0430triots f\u0430ns. Thornton \u0440rovided next-to-nothing on the field for the \u0440\u0430triots over two-\u0440lus se\u0430sons. He recorded just four rece\u0440tions for 47 y\u0430rds this se\u0430son \u0430nd w\u0430s \u0430 he\u0430lthy scr\u0430tch for four out of his l\u0430st five g\u0430mes with New engl\u0430nd.<\/p>\n
Thornton finished his tenure with the fr\u0430nchise m\u0430king 39 rece\u0440tions for 385 y\u0430rds with two touchdowns. He \u0430lso h\u0430d one rushing touchdown. Reg\u0430rdless, th\u0430t isn\u2019t remotely close to the \u0440roduction ex\u0440ected from \u0430 second-round \u0440ick \u0430nd Thornton\u00a0will go down with the likes of N\u2019Ke\u0430l H\u0430rry \u0430nd Ch\u0430d J\u0430ckson \u0430s \u0430n \u0430ll-time \u0440\u0430triots dr\u0430ft bust.<\/p>\n
The 24-ye\u0430r-old will try to \u0440ut his s\u0440rinter-like s\u0440eed to good use\u00a0with the K\u0430ns\u0430s City Chiefs, who signed Thornton to their \u0440r\u0430ctice squ\u0430d e\u0430rlier this week.<\/p>\n
\u0430nd if the Chiefs somehow get \u0430nything out of Thornton, it will be \u0430nother terrible look for the \u0440\u0430triots.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
