So are we supposed to believe they won't have equally strong feelings about Worthy? Cause I think for the most part, that's the same player.
You could use Worthy year one with low pressure, just be the guy that can blow the top off any given play, and groom him to take over Hollywood's role in 2025 if and when he prices himself out. Learn a thing or two about how Hollywood navigates playing in the league at 170 lbs.

Again, we had literally this exact same conversation about Jalin Hyatt last season. And now there's a faster version of him in Worthy this season. And next year there's gonna be another someone who runs really fast and weighs a buck seventy.
These guys exist in every single draft. Take them when you need them. With the Brown signing, we don't need them this year. If you're going to 'redshirt' someone, don't redshirt a speed guy. Redshirt someone like Walker or Leggett who may need some time to understand the nuances of the offense and can take on a more varied role when they do.
Yeah I guess so, IDK that all are created equal though. MVS was a speed guy, Hardman was a speed guy. They don't track the ball on the same level of a Hollywood or Worthy. [Reply]

I mean Worthy and Hyatt are only the same because they're both smaller and they're both really fast, but I think that's where the comparisons end.
From what I remember about Hyatt and from what I have read about Worthy isn't Worthy a much better WR than Hyatt? Worthy has almost elite route running ability and Hyatt was known to have an incredibly limited route tree. Hell this is from Hyatt's NFL.com scouting page;
"Hyatt is ordinary getting in and out of intermediate breaks and might be best with a limited route tree full of slants, crossers and a series of field-stretching patterns" [Reply]

Worthy is absolutely a 4.2 player on the field. The guy ran a 4.21, he's not exactly flirting with the 4.2s. Everyone on the planet who knows football knew he'd run in the 4.2s. I feel like that shouldn't have to be pointed out.
He also separates really well and has crisp route breaks, so this nonsense about his routes is just that. Like all college receivers, including his less productive teammate, they have to get better with their route tree.
Quit pumping bullshit to build a narrative.
You are doing the exact same thing, the Chiefs have Hollywood who's the same player as Worthy. The Chiefs need complimentary pieces and some say the Chiefs don't use big receivers which is the exact role Kelce is playing and is in his twilight of his career which means the Chiefs will start playing Travis less due to injuries and playing another big receiver more especially if you want to save Kelce up for the playoffs [Reply]

I am a firm believer that MVS could not catch over the shoulder. He pirouetted on every deep ball to be able to face it incoming. What use is the speed without maximizing its benefit? [Reply]
Adonai Mitchell
Texas · WR · Junior
A lot of people might be expecting to see Mitchell’s Texas teammate, Xavier Worthy, go here, but I feel like the Chiefs got their version of Worthy by signing Hollywood Brown. Mitchell gives them more size and physicality without sacrificing a speed element.

Kansas City signed speedster Marquise Brown to a one-year deal in free agency, but that shouldn't prevent the franchise from adding another receiver early in this draft. Mitchell is a rising prospect who could complement Brown and Rashee Rice. He ran a 4.34-second 40-yard dash at the combine and had an 11-foot-4 broad jump, which tied for second among all prospects. He has excellent hands, catching 11 touchdown passes last season. He can make defenders miss after the catch, too.
I also thought about offensive tackle for the Chiefs, but I just slotted in seven above this pick. The last time there were eight OTs taken in Round 1? The 2008 draft. Kansas City has a hole at left tackle if it doesn't bring back free agent Donovan Smith.

Hill didn't do it very well either, though.
Not a lot of guys do. I honestly think it's partly because of the helmets. I don't have a hard time doing it at all without a helmet. I did struggle a bit as a kid with pads on. Your field of vision is diminished quite and sometimes that's all the difference in locating/tracking the football.
If you have to turn your head more to locate the ball because of the reduced field of vision, then you're probably just going to go all the rest of the way around and elevate for it.
Hill did that far more often than he didn't. [Reply]
