- 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
No seriously - as good as you think this play is, it's better.
QB put that ball probably 8 yards from where it should've been. It was such a bad throw that 9 times out of 10 you don't realize it was ever catchable to begin with. MVS just coasts into the corner there and you say "Damn, these guys just can't get on the same page..."
I mean that ball should've been thrown to the bottom left corner of the Alabama A. Maybe further to the left than that even. The QB missed by a TON and Worthy just keeps his feet, finds the ball and angles towards it without losing much speed at all.
It's just special shit. Not many guys can do that at all. [Reply]

And THAT is the difference between last season and being a top 5 offense again. Like, seriously, just having a guy who can track the fucking ball and catch the damned thing. [Reply]

Yeah - that's where I got them from. He's usually my go to guy to find clips of stuff. He does a really nice job of cutting them up. I knew if I went to his pre-draft review I'd be able to find that 'seam' that wasn't a seam. And then as I was looking for it I found the other play where he tracked the ball so well.
He's the sort of reason I don't try to blog stuff like this - I can't do what he does with the video work. He's able to provide the visuals that make all my yammering a hell of a lot more effective. [Reply]

Nice analysis and you have to love that this TD was not against East Tennessee State or whoever like a lot of draft clips, but a primetime game on the road against Alabama.
Whoever said X just has combine speed is nuts, the kid is a gamer. [Reply]

I mean take every single thing I said about Hollywood and use it here.
I said Hollywood was really killed by his QB play and that if you had him doing the stuff MVS was doing (where MVS simply wasn't locating/tracking some of these balls) you could normalize his productivity and get a top 25ish WR for your troubles.
Exact same analysis. Which to be fair is one of the worries I had about Worthy as a pick - he does seem a bit redundant.
But he can absolutely provide a massive shot in the arm to this team's downfield passing game and it does not take much at all to then open up the middle even more. [Reply]

Yes I get our offered package was better but how do you not leverage something out of the Niners if they really were interested. Plus SF snipes a WR from a conference rival as well. NFL teams are REALLY dumb [Reply]
That ain't me, hoss. Back when I wanted us to take a look at Hockensen I liked the idea. But beyond that I've been calling for a return to the 11 personnel groups for a couple years now.
Once teams started using 2-high stuff on us and folks wanted to use those 12 groupings to attack it, I was of the exact opposite view. I wanted us to put both those safeties under massive stress using 11 groups as often as possible.
This was EXACTLY what I wanted us to do in the weeks leading up to us trading Hill. Once we moved him, I put those plans in my pocket for a bit. But I've liked the idea of attacking this chickenshit Cover 2 shell nonsense with speed all over the field for awhile now. [Reply]
