The source uses Thornton as a successful precedent for early camp breakouts translating to regular-season success. A year ago the source was skeptical of Thornton's camp performance, but he made plays early and often in camp that ultimately translated into the regular season. He parlayed his camp breakout into a potential starting role in 2026 on a two-year contract with the Chiefs worth $11 million. Thornton is cited as a player Allen is unlikely to overtake for playing time in 2026, and could be a starting WR alongside Xavier Worthy in 2027 if Allen's breakout is real.
