- 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

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. [Reply]
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 [Reply]
Why can they never connect outside of manufactured plays? We really need to work Worthy in the short game more and let him and Patrick get some chemistry together cause right now it's ugly. It's too feast or famine right now and since they can't connect on the deep balls, it's almost all famine. [Reply]

If you want to blame anyone this week, blame Mahomes. He had Worthy on the deep shot and overthrew him instead of leading him inbounds. [Reply]

Worthy did drop a pass on a short out as well. I'm not upset with him, but I do think Andy needs to dial his targets back a tad. He's just not catching the ball with any consistency, long or short. [Reply]

Yeah I agree. I'm not blaming just Worthy. It's on both of them and the coaches to put him in better positions for success. Mahomes HAS to get better at throwing deep and the coaches need to get Worthy more involved. [Reply]
Hoo boy. Still struggling to develop chemistry with Mahomes and Suamataia looking completely hopeless. 2024 draft class is looking pretty brutal at this point. [Reply]

No. It's the regular season and we've got 9 games already stacked up. Who the hell cares?
It's championship or bust, so just get in the damn playoffs. We can't get any better in that department, so it's time to start developing some chemistry between him and Mahomes.
Keep him involved. It might just really pay off if/when we REALLY need it [Reply]

He completely air mailed 2 TDs...pretty sure the ankle is bothering him. [Reply]

Overthrew him in the 49ers game also on a potential 75 yard TD. Last week Mahomes was a little late on his throw but Worthy was totally lost and stepped out of bounds on the opening drive. Chemistry is just off right now. We've seen that issue before with Mahomes and Hardman/Moore. Let's hope it gets fixed. [Reply]

Chiefsplanet does not allow any criticism of any kind towards Patrick Mahomes. This is your last warning or you will be banned. [Reply]
