Chiefs *****The Xavier Worthy Thread***** - Page 127

Glad to hear Embree is getting in on the coaching and mentoring action. Wouldn't want him to be left out, now, would we?

Bottom line, the dude can get open, catch the ball, track a deep pass, and is fast as hell. He’s eight games into his rookie season. I’m not worried at all about him, nor will I nitpick stuff this early. I think he’s going to turn into a fine player.

Marvin Harrison Jr 445 yds 5 TD

Rome Odunze. 391 yds 1 TD
Brian Thomas Jr. 595 yds 5 TD
Xavier Worthy. 235 yds 3 TD
Ricky Pearsall. Was shot
Xavier Legette. 244 yds 4 TD
Keon Coleman. 417 yds 3 TD
Ladd McConkey. 440 yds 4 TD

Did we really manage to draft the worst one?

No, the Chiefs aren't leaning on a rookie WR because they don't need to. 8-0.

Plus he wasn't shot, and I prefer WRs who aren't shot.

They've tried. He had his shot for weeks. Had to trade for a WR.

Yes they had to trade for a WR, because they were down to Worthy, Watson, and practice squad guys at wideouts due to injuries. DeSean Jackson is still a reasonable comp for Worthy and that would be just fine.

Had his shot at what, being WR1?

The only guys on your list that are close to putting up WR1 numbers so far are Nabers and BTJ...barely.

Worthy was expected to be WR3 or WR4.

I'm not giving up on him. Tools are there but it's certainly reasonable...as a fan...to be a little disappointed with the production thus far.

I think some of that is his usage, in addition to being a rookie.

Last year Rice started out hot, then faded. 361 yards and 3 TDs in the last 8 games. Hopefully Worthy will have the complete opposite of Rice's rookie season.

He has 5 TDs, not 3, idiot.
