long, twitchy Southern Utah CB with pro-day burst and NFL eyes
Josh Thornton’s calling card is NFL-caliber speed and proven ball production: Southern Utah listed him at 5-foot-11 and 185 pounds, and he posted 2 interceptions in the 2015 season before finishing 2016 as a senior and earning a 4.37 forty at his pro day. He later drew NFL attention as an undrafted free agent, which tells you evaluators liked the athletic traits even if the stat sheet wasn’t gaudy. If you want a corner with quick recovery gear, competitive back-end experience, and upside in man coverage, Thornton fits the bill.
