- 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
Especially Suamataia. What is that, 3 times now this season Morris has had to exit a game due to his knee? Started in preseason and it's flared up a couple times this season. [Reply]

Sorry our rookies aren't playing like All Pros yet.
Have you tried e-mailing Brett or Andy about it? They might need to be told they need to get these rookies to start playing good football. [Reply]
For the record I already suggested we perma inactive Sua the rest of the season. It’s hard to get fucking first round rookie OTs to play well as it is let alone guys in the late 2nd. So just see what next year brings before we set our hair on fire maybe?
And as for Worthy, I think it’s absolutely fucking ridiculous that your primary assessment of his play so far is “Man, he might be a bust”
Kingsley looked absolutely terrible. Has a ton of work to just be competent. Still has a big ceiling, but we are seeing the floor right now.
That was some Jordan Black type shit.
Gotta figure it out before playing Pittsburgh or they will have to scheme a predictable game plan. I think we can decisively beat Buffalo as is, but our real threat is Pittsburgh. [Reply]

Give the kid time.
Tyreek became a great route runner while in KC. I don't see more than straight line speed out of Worthy so far. Anything is possible and I hope he develops. There are just so few 160 lb WR in the league that you can count on. [Reply]
The funny thing is that Tyreek basically had the same amount of yards at this same point of his rookie year. Difference is he did it in 138 snaps while Worthy has around 400 assuming he played around 50 snaps today.
So he could turn it up just like Tyreek did in the 2nd half of the rookie season. But man, Tyreek flashed so much the start of his rookie year that it was almost undeniable he would eventually be great. [Reply]
Worthy is a weapon with that speed, he absolutely isn't as good a route runner imo as some suggested coming out. Then again, the coaches seem to think he's improving so what do I know. There does seem a distinct lack of chemistry with Mahomes. I just think Mahomes has got so used to dink and dunk the last couple of years he's a little off on longer balls.
If Worthy is just a slightly better version of MVS it'll be a shame, especially given some of the performances of other guys in that class, but I'd still classify that as a reasonable outcome probably. [Reply]

Tyreek is a hall of fame talent that worked his ass off learning the position and is built like a brick shit house. There's no reason to compare Tyreek to Worthy other than they are both fast but Tyreek is just different. [Reply]

Again, that’s 493rd kind of shit
Not as impossible of a task as you're making it out to be...Brandon Coleman is the starting rookie left tackle for Washington and he was drafted round 3. Plays like he belongs in the NFL. [Reply]
