Give the kid time.
The book on Worthy isn’t finished yet, but there is a difference. Tyreek was a gadget guy primarily in his first season. By his second season, he went for 1,200 yards at 16 YPR. He legitimately made Alex Smith the best deep passer in the league in 2017.
Simply watching them yields different results too. It was clear as day that Tyreek was a star in the making even in that rookie year with a neutered role.

This. Reid is too loyal.

Mahomes has missed Worthy on many plays this year so it’s really unfair to pin anything solely on Worthy.
Yeah he’s had a slump the last few games, but he has proven without a shadow of a doubt that he knows how to get open, track the ball and catch it.
Tom Brady made a good point this week. Hopkins came in a dominated his first real game bc he’s a veteran that understands spacing, route concepts, how to help the QB and how to run the route to the precise directive which most rookies don’t get.
It takes time but he’s a good complimentary WR right now. Still think he’s DeSean Jackson
