"I was forced to grow up a little faster and maybe I didn't live the true childhood that a normal kid should have in terms of a lot of things but I felt like all that stuff shaped me to be the man that I am today," he added Tennessee Volunteers wide receiver Dont'e Thornton Jr runs the 40-yard dash at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine Thornton began making a name for himself after transferring to Tennessee he caught 39 passes for 885 yards and seven touchdowns He finished with over 100 yards in three games in 2024 as Tennessee reached a 10-3 record and their first CFB Playoff Berth It's also worth noting his 25.4 yards per reception recorded in his senior season led the nation in that category "I thought with me having the aspiration of wanting to go to the NFL and being a receiver Tennessee was the best option for me," Dont'e Thornton Jr Like it wasn't immediate and it didn't turn over the way I wanted as fast as it did but it ended up being all good for me at the end of it." Thornton strung together a superb showing at the NFL Combine with his athleticism While posting impressive times in the 10-yard split (1.51) and a 10-foot-6 in the broad jump the second best time of any receiver at the event This is even more impressive accounting for the fact Thornton is 6-foot-5 making him the tallest player to run a 4.30 or faster 40-yard dash at the Combine since 2003 "[A]long with being a deep threat down the field a big guy that's fast," Thornton describing his skillset "I'd say just bringing a great player into the program a guy that's going to do whatever it takes to make the program better in any aspect I'm just basically doing my one percent all the time just coming in and being a great guy for the team."

2020 Draft Class Las Vegas addressed nearly all of their most pressing needs in the draft primarily focusing on the offensive side of the ball Although the Raiders' defense could undoubtedly use more work their offense should be improved enough to compensate for some of its deficiencies the offense should be improved enough to help keep the Raiders' defense off the field longer Part of the Raiders' success in the draft was the addition of multiple talented pass catchers including wide receiver Dont'e Thornton from Tennessee who should make life easier on Geno Smith and Chip Kelly Chad Reuter of the NFL Network listed his favorite draft picks in each round of the NFL Draft. He ranked the Raiders' addition of Thornton as the second-best fourth-round pick in the entire draft. Reuter noted just how well Thornton should fit in with the Raiders. "Somewhere, late Raiders owner Al Davis was smiling after his team selected this speed merchant out of Tennessee. Thornton was severely underutilized in college as he received a career-high 38 targets last season, per Pro Football Focus," Reuter said "During Shrine Bowl practices, it was clear he could do more than just use his 4.3 speed stretch the field. Las Vegas' roster was in desperate need of receiving talent heading into this draft so selecting Jack Bech in Round 2 and Thornton in the fourth could pay major dividends." Las Vegas hopes the addition of Thornton and Beck will help turn around one of the worst offenses in the league last season The Raiders still have plenty of work to do on their roster but they should focus those efforts on the defense The Raiders will once again be a team led by their offense after their offense's ineptitude forced their defense into the leading role over the past two seasons Time will tell how valuable Thornton becomes to the Raiders Las Vegas is banking on Bech and Thornton this upcoming season Please let us know your thoughts when you like our Facebook page, WHEN YOU CLICK RIGHT HERE.

uses special hardware and software to amplify computational power Much of the progress around quantum computing is currently in the realm of research but recent developments and breakthroughs indicate that quantum computers will soon help find solutions that were not accessible to classical computers “If a classical computer needs to find a solution like the path out of a maze it will try every solution sequentially,” explained Grant Thornton Risk Advisory Managing Director Vikrant Rai “Our current classical computers take one path at a time — but a quantum computer can try multiple solutions at the same time.” This can create an exponential advantage for analyzing data in fields like healthcare research and financial market modeling but it can also help decrypt data and launch

said He noted that many predict the asymmetric encryption used for most software and internet communications will be unsafe by 2029 and fully breakable by 2034 This threat drove the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to issue new encryption standards that are designed to withstand quantum computer attacks NIST encourages system administrators to “begin transitioning to the new standards as soon as possible” because the threat to data security is actually already happening many business and government systems rely on encryption to ensure the privacy and security of the data they store or send some governmental and non-governmental organizations are already gathering all the encrypted data they can with a “harvest now decrypt later” (HNDL) mindset They plan to try to extract insights and value from the data in three to five years when quantum computing enables its decryption “Q-day is the day when quantum computers will break through encryption and render traditional security applications useless unless they have adopted a strategy of post-quantum cryptography and newer encryption standards,” Rai said Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is a set of algorithms designed to be secure against both classical and quantum computing attacks Organizations need to replace existing asymmetric encryption with PQC deprecating methodologies and processes that rely on classical encryption This requires a shift in business processes as well as technology and it is part of a larger quantum resilience strategy A quantum resilience strategy needs to address quantum computing risks across the business and technology aspects of an organization’s governance model compliance with potential laws and regulations alignment with know-your-data requirements It also needs to track the deadlines to get it all done “If you're just hearing about the concept of Q-day readiness and data becoming vulnerable to decryption in the next three to five years you need to start your planning right now.” NIST and other industry-leading standards provide guidelines for quantum resilience with most built on a foundation of data hygiene a lot of the strategies relate to identifying the metadata behind the crypto database,” Rai said It is important to know your data and understand the answers to the question like What kind of encryption algorithms are currently being used How do you prioritize and perform lifeboat exercises for data What PQC transition plans that need to be put in place?” “A lot of these concepts were considered in 2022 to 2024,” Rai said Many organizations have started to address quantum resilience but do not yet have a comprehensive strategy in place many organizations need to ensure that they’ve addressed the pressing priorities of data security and regulatory compliance: “Governance and regulatory bodies are preparing post-quantum security standards so work with legal and compliance to really understand where you need to be in the next three to 10 years and update policies appropriately,” Hinkebein said “The most significant step that companies can take is defining their data protection strategies look to define your data strategy in terms of a roadmap to where you want to be.” Rai and Hinkebein led a recent webinar about quantum resilience where most respondents indicated that they had not formed a quantum resilience strategy develop and test quantum resilience strategies that dynamically identify and manage their operational risks “A quantum resilience strategy will require you to think through governance models and look at laws and regulations,” Rai said take steps to protect your data — know your data and apply the appropriate encryption mechanisms that are quantum safe Governments and regulatory bodies like NIST the International Organization for Standardization and the European Union are developing and publishing post-quantum security standards (like NIST FIPS 203 NIST began selecting standards and standardizing quantum-resistant algorithms,” Rai said Three of them are aligned with Q-safe algorithms and as part of the quantum resilience strategy we need to consider where to apply Q-safe algorithms to datasets that need to be protected against the quantum computing risks of the future.” As organizations analyze post-quantum standards they should consider how the standards apply to their unique data business processes and third-party dependencies “Organizations need to develop a testing plan to really understand the true nature of the resilience in place,” Hinkebein said “Look at conducting penetration testing exercises leveraging models that can bypass the current encryption mechanisms to highlight vulnerabilities,” Rai said A PQC transition plan is something that can help review current data architecture to prevent digital signature compromise and help mitigate vulnerabilities.” make plans to develop or transition to PQC,” Hinkebein said Q-safe resiliency also comes from an organization’s broader cybersecurity strategy “Think about improving ownership of risks and controls If you haven't considered zero-trust strategies Zero trust strategies do not “trust” any users or devices requiring verification for every access request by using multifactor authentication single access codes or passwords and biometric confirmations Many systems have already moved to these models “We need to think about building quantum resilience across systems,” Rai said “Do a threat modeling exercise and apply the inventory of data as well as the inventory of all your encryption and data protection mechanisms A lot of these efforts can be time-consuming and may have dependencies This work requires us to look at strategies more closely layered defense and zero-trust architectures will play a critical role in addressing quantum risks hardware and hybrid systems that might require a significant overhaul.” As organizations work to ensure enterprise-wide quantum resilience internal audit teams can play an essential role “Internal audit's role is going to be critical in this,” Rai said “Internal audit has the ability to look at controls from an independent perspective — sometimes even a broader perspective — so it’s able to connect the dots in ways that other functions might not.” the areas of focus include the particular domains that could be impacted by quantum computing Auditors can begin by checking factors across primary areas: Internal auditors need to work with multiple enterprise teams as they look across the spectrum of issues for data protection controls including data that is hosted or managed by third parties “One priority is to talk with teams about PQC transition plans,” Hinkebein said “As you understand more about your environment of data have they thought through post-quantum cryptography Are there plans to transition methodologies These assessments and discussions can lead to clear guidelines that help the organization take the necessary actions for quantum resilience The internal audit team’s independence and objectivity can play a critical role in evaluating and sharing insights into the organization’s quantum resilience The team can present a clear evaluation of the strategy’s operating effectiveness identify improvement strategies driven by leading practices and provide transparency to executive management This can be especially important if an organization needs to make large changes quickly to achieve quantum resilience “Internal Audit bears a level of responsibility to provide transparency to upper management and the board understanding lessons learned and working with management to identify root causes and provide guidance with leading practices to manage risks within the organization.” and provide guidance with leading practices to manage risks within the organization,” Rai said “An important area of responsibility is to understand the operating effectiveness of technical controls and whether the organization is ready for Q-day,” Rai said To help improve preparedness and foster quantum resilience internal audit teams can recommend risk-mitigating actions for business leaders Quantum resilience must ultimately find a place in every organization’s strategy for managing risks — especially as technology risks continue to grow and they're going to increase in terms of scope,” Hinkebein said more data is developed and stored in our environment When we store more data in our environment understand the data privacy implications around it and refine a strategy to address that.” “The volume and nature of data created is going to be exponential — and phenomenally challenging to manage.” noting that these issues will become more complex as companies move from quantum-resilient security to quantum-enabled solutions “The volume and nature of data created is going to be exponential — and phenomenally challenging to manage robotics and other tool sets at organizations.” The future of many organizations could be defined by their quantum computing resilience and capabilities combined with the technology of quantum computing is going to significantly shift the balance of power between those that are prepared and advanced in their technology adoption and those that are not,” Rai said “If you're in the business of financial services you need to start thinking about transaction information you need to think about the intellectual property and critical processes that you need to protect you need to think about your research data.” “Most organizations should have either started planning or already be in the transition phase,” Rai said There are no statistics available for this player Thanks for visiting — A Virginia family is receiving support from the community after a car wreck killed a mother and left her husband with severe injuries Jason and Sherri Thornton were driving home from a business trip on April 14 when their SUV was hit head-on in Tennessee He has undergone three surgeries since the accident and was recently transferred to a rehabilitation facility closer to home where he has been able to see his children who own Carlton's Auto Service in Colonial Heights are well-known in the Tri-Cities area for their generosity and community involvement employees are continuing operations while supporting the family "It was devastating," mechanic David Gagnon said "We're still trying to rock and roll for Jason and the family." Coworkers describe Jason as resilient despite the challenging recovery ahead The couple was known for their willingness to help others including flexible payment options for customers facing financial difficulties they would kind of do like a payment or try to help them the best they could," Gagnon said Sherri was particularly active in community service "She would always be here and she was working on something for Prince George Schools or some donation package or she was working on Christmas things to give away," Gail Koch With three young boys now without their mother, friends have established a GoFundMe and a Meal Train to support the family More than $12,000 had been raised for the family as of Friday afternoon "Anything that can take a little stress off him right now is going to be positive for him," Cody Cotter The community's support extends beyond financial assistance "We're all praying for him," customer Lee Gilliam said "He's been a good guy to the community and everybody loves him and trusts him." Those who know Jason believe he still has more to accomplish there's plenty more for Jason to do that he's still here with us," Koch said CBS 6 is committed to sharing community voices on this important topic.
