- 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/EcW7QtUrFFpic.twitter.com/811ahCEfMS

One of the biggest problems I’m seeing on offense is RB. We never replaced McKinnon. He was such a dynamic receiving weapon for us. 9 receiving TD’s in 2022 was a big reason we were successful. 4 last year in only 12 games.
Guess how many receiving TD’s we have from a RB this year? 1. That’s literally it. It’s non-existent. Perine is the closest thing we have to McKinnon.
They need to start having Mecole line up in the backfield and get some designed passes to the flat to stretch the LB’s and utilize speed there.
Toney was awful but he did provide that piece of the offense to us at times last year. We just don’t have it right now and it’s a major major problem.
Chiefs have Hunt/ Pacheco/ Perine/ CEH at running back. Way better than most teams. [Reply]

I was thrilled. That was a good play by the Bills defense and Worthy won. I don't want to see him taking a ton of those hits, but I thought it was a huge play. [Reply]

I thought for sure he was going to stay down after that, he's lucky the two Bills defenders got the worst of it. If he had taken full impact, he might not have been so lucky. [Reply]

I may have to rewatch it. It looked like he got fucking crushed. Maybe I'm just getting injury-PTSD :-) [Reply]
I wonder if they're slow playing Perine for later in the year like it seemed they did with McKinnon. Always flet like his speed was lethal later in the year because they didn't burn out his touches early in the season so he had fresh legs [Reply]
