- 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
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. [Reply]

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. [Reply]

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. [Reply]
