Thornhill had a great pass break-up in the back of the end zone on Mecole Hardman as well as an interception off of Patrick Mahomes.

Not sure what game it was, but I ain't lying. it was the most bizarre thing I have ever seen a football do. The dude has crazy mojo. :-)
In one of his 2017 preseason games, he threw an actual slider. I can't recall the opponent, but it was the Seahawks or Bengals, I believe. It was filthy, although perhaps not as filthy as the pass to Kelce against the Colts. [Reply]

Here you go: (Don't know how to embed pics from tweets)
On some throws, it seems the spiral gets tighter toward the end- whereas someone like Carr- the spiral falls apart the farther the distance.
This might have something to do with the nosedive of the football- sometimes that ball is dang near perpendicular to the ground with zero float under it.
It is also amazing that Reek can track a ball like that.
I swear it looks like the ball is diving more in camp than last year. Maybe that will fix some of the deep throws that went long last year? [Reply]
