"Per source, Titans have a top 30 visit with Tennessee WR Dont'e Thornton on April 15," Davenport said . "At 6-5, Thornton ran a 4.30 at the combine and it shows up on film."
Top 30 visits allow for NFL franchises to learn more about prospects in order to gauge how well they fit within their organizations.
The Titans were impressed by Thornton Jr.'s 40-yard dash at the NFL scouting combine , which he completed in 4.30 seconds.
Thornton Jr. began his collegiate career under head coach Mario Cristobal at Oregon . He finished 2021 with nine receptions and provided depth in 2022, recording 17 receptions and 366 yards.
