- 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
Zay Flowers sent from 170 to 182 lbs in a few months before the combine. Worthy can do something similar
#Chiefs GM Brett Veach says the 175-180 pound mark is the ideal weight for new WR Xavier Worthy. Says he'll work with the nutrition staff to get there. Currently listed at 165.
In his rookie 2008 season, Jackson signed with the Eagles. As a rookie he recorded 1,448 all-purpose yards working as a receiver and punt returner.
The Eagles realized this small rookie's talent and set him up for the starting role.
In 2009, Jackson attained 1,734 all-purpose yards and 12 touchdowns. A crazy fast 4.35 40 yard dash, Jackson leaves defenders in the dust. You don't need to be big if you can outrun everybody.
Jackson is already a Pro Bowler, and he is just getting started.
In the next few years, Jackson could become the top receiver in the NFL, dominating defenses every single Game Day. [Reply]

We're going back to the 2021 offense MINIMUM.
I'd say split the difference between 2020 and 2021. Pringle and Robinson and no RB to speak of were a hard limit on that offense.
Teams will play 2 high safeties every game against us next year.
So there won't be many deep balls.
It will be Mahomes throwing to Kelce and Rice over and over with some Pacheco sprinkled in.
Hopefully we get some more bodies and load manage them right.

Maybe. Some guys just seriously have a hard time gaining weight. Had a friend (nickname was "Bones") that played WR for the Wash U. football team. 6'2" 155 lbs as a freshman. Took him two years to put on 10 lbs. They had him eating 8 meals a day or something. He practically was eating every 90 minutes or so.
Not saying Worthy won't be able to do it, or that I don't believe he can do it. Just saying that some guy's metabolisms are spun up so fast that gaining weight is a real struggle. I really hope Worthy isn't like my friend. [Reply]

Just look at 2022 when Tyreek left.
We grabbed MVS as the vertical decoy (which I called at that time) and teams were still respecting that enough that Kelce and JuJu feasted.
Last year MVS was no longer given any respect and teams walked up and the offense crumbled. Mecole was added but he didn't scare anyone either.
With Hollywood and Worthy we now again threaten teams again deep so that everyone MUST play safeties back.
That will be a return to the 2022 style offense where its Kelce and Rice now dominating the middle of the field with way more space to operate. [Reply]

Desean was a really smart football player, and by all accounts he was as intense and focused as they come. Worked his ass off from Day 1. [Reply]
