One might say that the 2014 3rd round pick has been on the hot seat since last offseason. The defensive end showed little in camp and preseason last year, and many thought that he was likely to be cut. A hamstring injury in the final preseason game of the year perhaps saved Thornton’s spot on the roster, as he was added to the injured reserve. Fast forward to 2015, and Thornton has not shown anything warranting his draft pedigree in the last four days either. The one notable moment from Thornton so far was his being removed from a drill for being offsides twice. He certainly doesn’t seem to be endearing himself to the coaching staff.
