Is the Tyquan Thornton Hype Real?

Eric Canha-USA TODAY Sports

Tyquan Thornton has been one of the most interesting stories going on with New England along with many of the other wide receivers in this years preseason.

While many expected him to be cut already by the Patriots, he has been a stellar performer in training camp, and is even working with the first team. This comes out of nowhere as the former Baylor Bear is trying to get his career somewhat back to a rhythm after his first two seasons have been derailed due to injuries. The main question at the front of fans minds is will Thornton able to develop into the speedy deep threat he once was in the Big 12 Conference?

With names like JuJu Smith-Schuster being released and a couple more others likely on the way, fans are wondering if Thornton can potentially show doubters who he really is, or will he continue to struggle or possibly even be released before the season starts.
