- 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

I still believe McConkey was a safer pick. But Worthy has bigger upside, no doubt. Can stretch the field more. He did play with a broken hand in 2022 which caused his numbers to dip. Has been productive in all his years in college and has great acceleration after the catch, similar to Rice, with a faster takeoff speed. Played in a big name school. Seems book smart. There's a lot to like when sitting back and reviewing the pick. But as they always say, best ability is availability. The NFL is brutal, it's physical. Especially for a receiver.
Just can't say enough about how much I love the way this offense threatens at all three levels.
And because of the threat HB and Worthy present, I'll go ahead and be one of many that foreshadows a Kelce 'Fountain of Youth' narrative come this fall, even though last year's struggles had less to do with age and more to do with his supporting cast. [Reply]

Hill is also maybe the quickest/twitchiest player in the NFL, and he has more stamina than anyone else. So by the end of the game they're dragging and he's lapping them. He's such a unicorn. [Reply]

I think Kelce was more banged up than we realized.
He got hurt right before Week 1 then essentially had to rehab during the season. That’s tough at any age. Plus a setback against the Vikings didn’t help.
Then, he turned in one of the best postseasons by a tight end ever, which makes me think it was easier to push through when the games really mattered and the end of the season was right there. [Reply]

Peopled just need to not compare anyone to Hill, he's a true unicorn in just his what he naturally brings and in what he can do.
There will never be another one like him, he's a HOFer. [Reply]

Hollywood Brown was a great signing. Really made almost any WR we added at this point workable. [Reply]

Fucking amazing. Veach literally is a wizard.
I think Buffalo just admitted they don't think they are a contender right now so they took the deal they thought they could utilize the best, they basically are telling everyone, we're gonna be down for a few years so we don't care. [Reply]

Beane and McDermott should be fired on the spot if that's their mindset. [Reply]
