Kickin’ it With Kyle Episode 1: Dont’e Thornton Jr

In the debut of this new interview series, I sat down with Las Vegas Raiders’ rookie wide receiver Dont’e Thornton Jr. Thornton is a former four-star wide receiver from Baltimore, Maryland, playing at Mount St. Joseph’s. He committed to Oregon and stayed for two years before transferring to Tennessee and breaking out in his senior season for 661 yards and 6 touchdowns. This season would get him drafted in the fourth round by the Raiders. The Raiders rookie sat down to discuss his college experience, transferring to Tennessee and his breakout season, the draft process, his rookie camp experience, and his faith along the way.
