Will be worth watching.

I don't even know if Worthy has to be better but if he is close enough they might move on from Hollywood.

Personally I hope Hollywood balls out and we keep him.

I think the Chiefs investing so much at TE with Irv Smith and Jared Wiley means what we all think: Kelce is nearing the end. Kelce himself acknowledged that on his new heights pod.

I think this draft was as much planning for the post Kelce era as much as anything. Rice, Worthy, Kingsley and Wiley are all cheap for the next 3 years minimum.

I think Kelce has 1, maybe 2 more years. If they could ink Hollywood to Veach’s favorite 3 year structure that has a clean way out in year 3 I’d take that immediately. Kelce’s money would basically go to him to cover a lot of the cost.

Devonta Smith is listed at 6’ 170 and he looks tiny out there.

It will be jarring to see Worthy padded up at 5’11” 165.

I think Hollywood has the possibility of a Tranquil trajectory here. Cheap 1 year tryout that gets him a long term deal with more $$$ if he performs.

Folks talking like he had afterburners and was some deep threat when he was a 4.5 guy who'd get caught from behind by linebackers.

I mean if you wanted to try to argue he was De'Anthony Thomas I'd listen - skeptically, but at least I'd listen.

But McCluster? That's just laughably stupid.

it just casually ignores that Worthy is actually a wide receiver with a tremendous history of success at the position.

He's also only 20 years old. He'll be 185 by his third season.

One thing's for sure, Worthy will be a lot more physical than Smith. I did a brief cut up and posted it about 20 pages back. Worthy is a straight up DOG.

As crazy as it may sound, he's a bully. Will that fly in the NFL? Likely not but it won't be for lack of him trying. I expect him to embarrass a few db's on the boundary early in the season when they're expecting him to sidestep out of bounds.

Word will travel quickly that he's no punk. -

He's going to gain 20 lbs from his draft year?

Worthy doesn't need to bulk up. Let him do what he does.

I don't know about 185, but he clearly lost some weight to break the record.

It was a lack of size and muscle comp

A guy under 175 in the nfl is so rare that it legitimizes the comp. I can’t even think of another player under 180 that ever played for kc. I think Dante hall was 190 even tho he was like 5’7

Mighty mouse cornerback mcclain might have been lighter but that was so long ago

Devonta Smith and Tank Dell just recently. You're absolutely clueless. The NFL has changed a lot over the years. Catch up.

Emmanuel Forbes went in round 1 last year....he's 6'1 166lbs.

I was explaining the mccluster comparison. Please follow the discourse. Mccluater also was drafted by kc. And was skinny.

Worthy's size is fine if he operates as the Vertical 2.

Obviously keep Nagy's ideas to a minimum with him because he ain't going to do what Rice did last year or he would break.
