- 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

Or, and hear me out on this, he could have just tweaked a hamstring like every other athlete in the world has done, and they’re just being cautious because it’s OTA’s. What in the world does “practicing in pads” have to do with a hamstring? He hasn’t even hardly been in the NFL for it to be a “different beast”. Can we at least get into training camp before we start making assumptions? [Reply]

I got chewed out by many here when I posted against the pick on draft day and THIS was precisely the reason why. McConkey who I wanted the Chiefs to draft has been a stud for the Chargers in OTAs. Sometimes, the risk is not worth the reward. Sometimes, the smart thing to do is draft the safe player. [Reply]

Are you trying to get roasted? Because saying Stud in OTA's is how you get roasted lol. And wasn't Ladd hurt a lot at Georgia? What a weird fucking corner to paint yourself into. [Reply]

No one is a stud in OTAs you fucking rube. As you said they haven't even put the pads on yet. [Reply]

I mean, he has been in the field healthy. And looked the part. Eye test matters in OTAs as we saw with Pacheco. [Reply]
Chiefs started OTAs on May 20 and Worthy participated the first couple of days. He has been unavailable for roughly more than two weeks. Which for a hamstring is still a normal timeframe. But if this goes on for another couple of weeks or more, then you really start worrying. Skyy had a similar injury early on during his first training camp and he recovered quickly. [Reply]

Dear Mrs ChafedTaint, OTA’s mean nothing. Kind of like your dumb ass opinion.
Jackson Looks Good In Return To Field
Jul 30, 2008 at 11:02 AM
DeSean Jackson was out on the field Wednesday, getting lots of attention …in a good way. The rookie receiver/returner has been out the last two days with a hamstring strain, the same injury that kept him out for part of the OTAs in June.
Jackson said the "tweak" was not that serious, so he was able to deal with it and return to action. That's where he would rather be anyway.
"It's hard to not be on the field while the team is practicing," Jackson said. "I am feeling great and I'm happy to be back out here."
Head coach Andy Reid was straight-to-the-point when asked on Tuesday about how important it is that Jackson is out on the field practicing.
"He needs to get healthy and get back out there is what he needs to do," said Reid. "This is a challenge for wide receivers, that first year, and you have to push yourself through these things, so that's what he's working on right now." [Reply]
