People need to chill.

Does no one remember the walk in touchdown Rice dropped in preseason?

A white WR in the 1st? No fucking thanks.

When I think of WR hamstring injuries, I think of Sammy Watkins. I think of Reek. Extrememly fast athletes are more prone to hammy tweaks. Worthy's size has nothing to do with that type of injury.

Dude is too small for the position. We should have drafted Xavier Legette. 6'1, 220lbs. That's a durable dude!

Spoiler!

Checking in on this healthy Ladd I keep hearing about

Weaknesses
Modest play strength could create issues in beating press.
Limited production in 2023 due to back and ankle injuries.
Alarming number of deep ball-tracking drops in 2022.
Average acceleration driving through route stems.

Anyone who has ever had back issues: uh oh!

Wow, even more proof that the Chargers will win the off-/pre-season yet another year! It has been an amazing streak; they seem to win this every year. I don't know where they keep all of those trophies.

I'm not sure if I hate the "my player the Chiefs shouldve drafted" annual tradition or if I love it.

OTA's?

I mean, I guess I can understand crowning the Chargers off season champs 11 years in a row. But now we're gonna crown them OTA champs as well? How about we at least wait until camp starts before we put McConkey in the hall?

Andy Reid sounded optimistic about WR Xavier Worthy (hamstring) for the beginning of training camp. Reid confirmed Worthy is getting better and will continue his treatment over the next few weeks.
