- 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

Some people think criticizing him is sacrilege. I think the greatest football player of all time should be held to a higher standard.
We did this last year with MVS and have done it with Hardman in the past as well where he and the receiver aren’t connecting on deep balls. At some point, it’s a trend and the common denominator is the QB.
I know the LT isn’t great and that affects it. But most of these are throws he steps into and just flat misses.
The excuses are getting old. Start hitting the throws and be amazed at how the offense magically looks fixed.
I’m not saying this because I’m mad at you Pat, I’m saying this because I love you and know what you’re capable of.
Hit the damn throws.
Oh it's 100% Pat. I don't know if he was a more accurate down the field thrower before but the last few years he absolutely has terrible long ball accuracy. And no, I wouldn't trade Pat for any other QB in the league ever. But we watched O'Connel hit deep throws with accuracy coming first game off IR That we rarely see Pat hit, and he did it many times in one game.
IT's def a massive weakness in the offense [Reply]
How great was it that he stepped up on 3rd and 10 for the big 14 yard catch. Five catches on six targets for 41 yards. They've integrated him into the intermediate game. [Reply]

Yes. Another fantastic game for X, and fantastic that Patrick will trust him in that situation.
I initially thought maybe he didn't cleanly catch that ball going to the ground. Not sure we ever saw a replay, but they ran up and snapped it quick. Chiefs weren't waiting for a replay it appeared :-) [Reply]
I’m guessing he has 1 huge game by the end of the regular season and ends up with like 650 yards and 6 or 7 TDs.
All in all, not a bad rookie season. Especially when you consider a few misfires between Mahomes and him that left a couple hundred more yards out there. [Reply]

May have already started happening. Over the last 4 games he's gotten 18 receptions for 201 yards. That's a pretty decent year when you extrapolate it out to a 17 game season. Once they start connecting more frequently on the deep shots it's over. [Reply]

Last year Rashee Rice started heating up around this time with Mahomes last year and so is Mahomes.
Love that Worthy came back to the ball. I hated that MVS never did that.
Great play kid
Perine with the pickup. Mahomes finding the lane, and Worthy sitting down AND then coming back to the ball. That’s the good stuff pic.twitter.com/wtj9Hsztqu
I think worthy has unlimited potential. He is always open. He doesn’t seem to drop balls. Runs good routes. And of course has so much speed. When brown comes back, we are going to have one of the best receiving groups in the league. Now we need Mahomes to just start throwing like one of the best quarterbacks in the league. The fact that he isn’t takes nothing away from the reality that he is always able to do whatever is needed to win at the end. And his running skills are under emphasisized. He’s not flashy like Alan and Lamar, but he gets it done. now if he could only start getting rid of the ball and making good throws regularly within the three seconds that are the norm in the NFL.
I agree with a point another poster made that if Mahomes was hitting him better Worthy would likely be offensive rookie of the year. They would be using him even more and that would magnify his contribution. [Reply]
I counted three 3rd downs that Worthy was not on the field. No surprise this is the result.
He should be on the field on every single 3rd down.
One of those plays that we've seen several times this season in KC. It's drawn up for Juju with two vertical stems from Watson and Hopkins on third down. The play is there to be made, but Mahomes pulls it down. pic.twitter.com/FLQFaTFKt5
