- 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

Ohh so you meant KC when you said "dc". Try checking your garbage takes for spelling errors.
Why do you need to compare him to a RB that KC drafted over a decade ago when there are similar WRs drafted in the NFL the last few years? [Reply]

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.
I saw what you posted and actually would prefer he not do that in the NFL.
Even if he beefs up to like 175 or something, he’s still in the bottom 5 percentile for weight in the league. He’s got no business trying to bully guys out there. [Reply]

Yeah - I think 175 is all you can reasonably expect.
Kids running a 4.2 - his body has developed. It may thicken up a bit but if he's grown into his speed, he's probably grown roughly into his size as well.
No way he hits 185. Frame just won't support that much good weight. [Reply]
Veach already said he'll work with our nutrition team and they envision him playing around 175-180.
#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.

I mean, if he was sprint training for 3 months after the season to secure the best possible 40 time at his combine, its not unreasonable to think he lost some mass, even if just 5 pounds or so. [Reply]

Yeah, that's what I've been saying as well.
The 'real' Xavier Worthy is probably around 4.3 - 4.35 and 165-170 lbs. With a little maturation you might get that to 175 without losing anything.
I just don't see 185 being within the realm of possibility and man, 180 is pushing it. This isn't 1995; these guys aren't coming out of college doing situps and skipping max days.
These guys get pushed hard by Power 5 training staffs. If they could've bulked him up to 180 and gotten him taken at 17, that's just one more thing they can recruit on.
These guys are damn near at their peak when we get them. You can work technique and maybe sculpt them around the edges a bit, by they're 90% formed by the time they get to the NFL for the most part.
I mean did the Chiefs strength training ever build out De'Anthony or Mecole? Hill was already a freak of nature when he got here. By and large those guys remained the same physically. Because they came from massive programs.
Someone like BJ Thompson out of Stephen F. Austin may be someone you can really bring up a level because of a step up in strength/nutrition. But a dude out of UT? Man, I just don't think we're better at it than they are. [Reply]
