The New England Patriots don’t need Tyquan Thornton to contribute in 2022 and that — more than any other reason — is why he’s likely to spend most of the year as the team’s fifth receiver on the depth chart. The Patriots traded up to pick Thornton in Round 2, a move that surprised many. But that doesn’t necessarily mean he’ll make his mark on the offense during his rookie season.
The 2021 quarterback draft class was not lacking in talent, with four players drafted before the New England Patriots chose Mac Jones with the 15th pick in the first round. On Tuesday, Robert Griffin III praised Jones with a comparison to all other rookie quarterbacks in the league from the 2021 season. Mac Jones is MOST LIKELY to win a ring FIRST of the rookie QBs who played serious time last year,” Griffin III wrote on Twitter.
We should get a fairly good idea of where the Patriots stand in the conference early in the season, as they'll start the year with road trips to Miami and Pittsburgh before hosting the Ravens in Week 3. They'll complete that challenging first month of the year with a trip to Lambeau. That, though, is the future.
