Xavier Worthy - WR, UT

- 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/EcW7QtUrFF pic.twitter.com/811ahCEfMS

I was told Parris Campbell was the best Ohio State WR by a million people before that draft. Campbell went in the 2nd.

McLaurin went in the 3rd.

Terry was always the better player but his college usage fooled people.

Speed, routes, ball tracking, jumps, you name it he can do it

This dude, Hollywood, and Rice out there together?

Sheeeeeeit :-)

I know people want to argue with me because I wanted a different guy but the Worthy pick does help the offense, does add an NFL caliber WR, and does put other teams in a bad position.

Teams will just wave the white flag when we line up Hollywood and Worthy outside and concede the middle of the field and short areas to us.

Seems delusional to say it, but this could easily be the most explosive offense of the Mahomes era :-)

Mahomes has to be salivating to get back on a football field without both arms tied behind his back.

Reid's playbook will be back as well because I have no idea what we were watching most of last year with those horizontal passes over and over.

Our opponents DC's heads will be spinning

Wanna sit back because you're scared of our speed? fine, we'll murder you underneath

Wanna come up tight? fine, we're gonna run right past you repeatedly for 50-60 yard chunks

Imagine last year, maybe slightly worse on D because Sneed was pretty important, but scoring 10+ more points per game.

3 peat incoming!

Yup, losing Sneed sucks but we're so freaking deep back there that we'll barely skip a beat... we'll still be a top 5 defense at worst

Barring an injury to Mahomes, I honestly can't see us not getting that 3peat

Worthy has always been the better prospect and will be a better pro

For what the Chiefs wanted in a WR that argument can be made.

As much as I preferred Mitchell I don't think he helps more this year.

My reasoning was more of long-term plan post-Kelce.

Because once Kelce is gone you need a #1 WR since Kelce is currently in that role.

I already told you this...Rice is that guy

That should be a pro for him not a con.

He's one of the best coming out at tracking and adjusting to the deep ball. Exactly what MVS and Hardman can't do worth a shit.

He's a legit deep threat - at minimum. His absolute floor is upgrading the MVS/Hardman roles...
