Any statement that moves anyone ahead of Worthy is probably just ridiculous at this point. Worthy is going up, not down. 4.21 official is one of the fastest times in history and the fastest ever at the combine.
Well, you said having Adonai ahead of Worthy was crazy too and I expect that NFL teams will agree. [Reply]

Adonai got himself into the 1st round conversation and may be considered over Franklin because of his size. He was not a 1st round prospect or even in the discussion. Worthy already was.
There's still a solid chance Adonai doesn't go in the 1st.
I think there is no doubt about 5 of them going in the 1st and Worthy is in that group of 5. Harrison, Nabers, Odunze, Worthy, Thomas. Those guys are going in 1, for sure. Zero doubt.
After those it's going to be preferences between Mitchell, McConkey, and Franklin IMO with only 1 of the 3 possibly sneaking in. [Reply]
Top WRs by Speed Score* in the 2024 Class *aka weight-adjusted 40-time (more predictive)
1. Xavier Legette (119.0) 2. Brian Thomas (118.9) 3. Adonai Mitchell (115.6) 4. Johnny Wilson (110.7) 5. Bub Means (110.1) 6. Cornelius Johnson (109.1) 7. Rome Odunze (108.1) 8. Devontez…
I prefer Mitchell to Worthy but that speed...is insane. He could obviously break but I'd trust Reid to put him in situations he can succeed. Man this is a great year to need a WR [Reply]

Worthy could have some value if he hit and was used right.
If Nagy wanted him as a gadget slot then he might bust.
As a vertical 2 decoy where he runs down field as fast as possible he could have a Gabe Davis impact.
Faster and smaller but go 3-4 games where you don't notice and then have a game or two where they seem important.
Buffalo not resigning Davis but drafting his replacement.
If they get Thomas Jr that's a massive upgrade at Vertical 2. [Reply]

MahomesMagic knows what he’s talking about.
Get this guy at all costs.
I doubt AD makes it to us, but Sark doesn't run a very deep WR rotation at Texas. Even with a deep WR room, his top guys really don't get much rest.
Those guys hardly ever sub out and when a receiver came off the field it was usually Whittington coming off to sub in a second TE when we went into 12.
There wasn't much rest for Mitchell or Worthy during the season, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see more athleticism out of AD once he's in the league and part of a rotation. [Reply]

Mitchell’s speed is just as crazy if not more so with his weight. If they don’t draft either in the first it’s a massive mistake. [Reply]
