From the episode

It's not surprising to me based on some of the flashes he showed last year and how little we've gotten out of Xavier Worthy that it really does seem like Tyquan Thornton is going to matter for the Chiefs offense over the course of this season in that exact role.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Thornton is carving out a key deep-threat role in the Chiefs' offense.

Thornton is emerging as a vital piece of the Chiefs' offense, specifically in the deep-threat role that has been lacking. The source highlights his unique combination of size and speed, noting that he is the only receiver on the roster who is both tall and fast, making him a reliable target for Mahomes on deep shots.
