Patriots ROOKIE Mini-Camp (13-15) - Going on Now

[captain stone]

Which pick was your favorite from the draft Cap?

From the Patriots? None of them.

 

[captain stone]

Captain hates everyone!

But I do like Life cereal!

 

[captain stone]

Wasn't Randy Moss a skinny legged guy with no butt?

Pics of him in HS/college unis are hilarious.

6'3-1/2, 194 at his pro day supposedly... Skinny yeah... But those legs on Thornton... my goodness...

 

[captain stone]

Those legs remind me of another skinny bust we once had

Who's he?

 

[Zuma]

Coming out of college...

Moss: 6' 4" / 194
Thornton: 6' 2" / 181

So the difference is 2 inches and 13 lbs.

That's a picture of Moss.

Nobody has legendary legs better than Shawn Crable.

However, I understand his pain. I have a similar body type (about 6'3" and slim) and it's easy for me to get muscle on the upper body, but my legs have always been weak. I dread leg days.

Jameson Williams is just as skinny. Moss was 6’4” 194 at the combine.

They're both shorter and slightly heavier.

Williams weighed in the 170s I read.

Who's he?

Some guy who would have made the hall of fame for sure if only he hadn't been rocking those stick legs.

That's a picture of Moss.

Hush you

I saw 180s

Please please please do not send a pic.

Let's just admit it doesn't really matter, a couple pounds here and there: Jameson Williams (WR): Bio, News, Stats & more

I have doubts that either of them will gain much weight in the NFL, just like Devonta Smith

Yeah, those calves aren't going to remind anyone of Schwarzenegger in the movie Twins... But they're still noticeably bigger than BoneyT's.

 

[WhatJustHappened]

Being 6' 170lbs, I guess DeVonta Smith should get out b4 he gets maimed...

 

[Pats2000]

“

a bit light”? His legs look like twigs to start a campfire. He certainly does not look the part of an nfl receiver. He needs at least 10-15 pounds of muscle or he will be a permanent member of the disabled list.
The photo of Thornton to me is news and not in a good way. Does Baylor not have a strength and conditioning coach?
Now we know why he was projected as a fourth rounder.

Guy may just be built light. I couldn't get a pound over 185Lbs no matter how much I ate until I was 24. Doesn't mean he can't play

 

[Pats2000]

Please tell me that this isn't the dude that Bill chose instead of Skyy Moore...

That's the guy BB chose over Skyy Moore

Should be about 2.5 lbs heavier for each inch of height. So Williams at 179 lbs (nfl.com combine stats) should be 184 lbs for Tyquan who is 181 lbs. So Thornton is slightly lighter than Williams and equivalent to Davonta Smith in height/weight comparison. I prefer the guy that is 2" to 2.5" taller even if a few lbs. lighter in equivalence.

I was surprised how fast and fluid Thornton is on tape. His coaches say the right things about him too. Let's hope the scouting department knows what they are doing - this pick is a huge departure from the past so it is not a BB pick.

That's so weird. NFL.com has him 10 #s heavier (189 #) & an inch taller (6'-2"). Ten pounds is a lot.
