Fast asses.

I'm interested in how quickly Xavier Worthy picks up the complex #chiefs offense. Talent aside, his work ethic, instincts & football intelligence combined with his ability to run for days (which is needed during Andy Reid's camp in St. Joe) could result in an immediate impact.

Same here. Apparently I don't learn either. I don't know how this degenerated into how safe you or your car is in downtown KC.

I like this guy.

My only real concerns with him are the focus drops and ability to beat press at the nfl level.

Aside from playing with a broken hand in 2022, his hands have never been an issue.

Drops were much more of a concern for Rice.

Hands have already been addressed but for the other part of your post

When facing press coverage at Texas in 2023, it was Xavier Worthy and not the bigger-bodied Adonai Mitchell who was more efficient.

Routes
112 — AD Mitchell
106 — Xavier Worthy

Receiving yards
225 — Worthy
117 — Mitchell

Catch rate
61% — Worthy
45% — Mitchell

That’s why AD went in the second round

I keep seeing this and I'll ask yet again, who in this league is pressing him? That's just asking to be killed...

Saw he skipped OTA's today with hamstring soreness.

Probably has more to do with his contract not being done.

I don't think its a matter of how fast Worthy picks up our offense, its more how early does Reid start manufacturing ideal touches for him and I'm pretty sure that happens early. I think we treat him as a weapon, not an all around WR early in his rookie year.

I think this guy s going to be a stud from the get-go. This is the most excited I've ever been for any Chiefs draft pick other than Mahomes. Of course had no idea what Mahomes would become, but I was just so stoked they finally drafted a QB. I also trusted Andy's intuition there too. Dude knows QBs. Still cannot believe Worthy fell to us.
