- Early career production - Dynamic threat downfield & after the catch - Elite speed & start-stop ability - Fluid mover w/ good route running chops - Ball tracking is A+
Not entirely sure why the vibe isn't higher when talking about him in the WR class. pic.twitter.com/dv3JjdyZgh
I'll write something fresh about Worthy tomorrow morning now that he's a Chief to lay out how he's more than speed, but for now here's an excerpt from article linked in the below tweet... https://t.co/EcW7QtUrFFpic.twitter.com/811ahCEfMS

But that's not how the game is played anymore.
And nobody's better than Andy Reid at creating a free release for a WR.
There is no evidence being bigger equals less injury prone. It may even be the opposite. Calvin Johnson...big WR outta the league. Juju...bigger WR...always hurt. Sammy Watkins was about avg...very injury prone.
The positions that fly around the most are usually smaller so there are more violent hits. There is absolutely no reason a 170 lb guy will get injured more than a 230 lbs guy. [Reply]
Gonna need him to grow up in this offense a little faster than we wanted...but he seems up to the task.....throw the kid the rock and lets see what happens. [Reply]
He's basically going to have to do what Rice did last year, he did today. It took Rice a half a season to really get going, hopefully Worthy does the same and I don't see why he wont [Reply]
The Chiefs are going to go back to their 2022 offense, with a better RB, more experienced OL and a way better deep threat.
The key will be finding enough completions between the last remnants of JuJu's knee, Justin Watson, Mecole Hardman and Noah Gray to recreate 2022 JuJu (78 rec) in the aggregate.
Since those players themselves had around 50 catches in 2022 that's gonna be a tall order.
We are going to need to make a trade. Unless Jody Fortson has something we haven't seen before. [Reply]
While the TD was exactly what we wanted to see when drafting him, the more important part of his performance was two important catches on third downs with one closing the game.
Deep bombs are great but we've seen Hardman and even Watson make those. I can't remember the last time any WR not name Rice in this team had two key third down completions. [Reply]
Being forced to fast track his development may not be the worst thing. Already showing incredible promise as a deep threat and was happy to see him get involved on a couple crucial 3rd down conversions. [Reply]
