- 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

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.
Riiight....but, he's asking why that'd be ugly. The difference is, unlike your example, the downfield effeciency will be greater and more dangerous, returning a TRUE element of threat.
Brown/Worthy is greater than MVS/Hardman. And Rice is greater than JuJu.
It's not 2022 offense, my dude. It's 2022 offense on roids. [Reply]

I think Worthy helps the offense as well as Hollywood which was critical.
But it won't be bombs away.
I see a huge efficiency lift for the intermediate passing game and even the Nagy horizontal shit will work better.
In fantasy dynasty Worthy will now go high but I think that's because most people don't understand what his value and role will be. [Reply]

It's too bad he was locker room poison. Dude had some serious talent. [Reply]

I'll say. Dude was smoking DBs half his age just a couple-three years ago. As for whether he was a lockerroom problem, I don't know. I did read part of an article once that said he was pretty vocal about calling guys out if he thought they weren't trying hard enough; dude hated losing apparently.
To be honest, I don't hate that mentality in a football player. If MVS/Hardman/Skyy were more like that, maybe they would've run better routes and caught more balls. Who knows? [Reply]

Kind of moved off this take a little after they signed Brown, but that was just because I wasn't sure they'd add another small WR.
