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

There's a reason he had two different top 50 wideouts praised for their deep ball tracking skills. Shit was errant all the time.

Same with Jayden Daniels. He is astonishingly inaccurate throwing deep.

I'm so excited to see some competent speed return. Since Tyreek we've had some guys with speed, but they've mostly sucked or in Hardman's case was more of a gadgety guy. Worthy brings absolute pure blazing speed, but according to a ton of draft publications is one hell of a route runner. Hollywood Brown isn't no slouch either.

Teams are going to have to respect the deep ball for the first time in a long time and Kelce and Rice (barring he hasn't gotten himself thrown in jail) should absolutely feast.

MVS is plenty fast but teams aren't going to respect the deep ball if he just sprints 40 yards and drops the ball.
