- 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

When I think of WR hamstring injuries, I think of Sammy Watkins. I think of Reek. Extrememly fast athletes are more prone to hammy tweaks. Worthy's size has nothing to do with that type of injury. [Reply]
Checking in on this healthy Ladd I keep hearing about
Weaknesses
Modest play strength could create issues in beating press.
Limited production in 2023 due to back and ankle injuries.
Alarming number of deep ball-tracking drops in 2022.
Average acceleration driving through route stems.
Anyone who has ever had back issues: uh oh! [Reply]

Wow, even more proof that the Chargers will win the off-/pre-season yet another year! It has been an amazing streak; they seem to win this every year. I don't know where they keep all of those trophies. [Reply]

OTA's?
I mean, I guess I can understand crowning the Chargers off season champs 11 years in a row. But now we're gonna crown them OTA champs as well? How about we at least wait until camp starts before we put McConkey in the hall? [Reply]
Andy Reid sounded optimistic about WR Xavier Worthy (hamstring) for the beginning of training camp. Reid confirmed Worthy is getting better and will continue his treatment over the next few weeks.
Listening to Verderame’s pod with Doug Farrar and found an interesting note: Xavier Worthy wanted to go to Texas bc he liked what Sarkisian did to prepare Devonta Smith for the NFL.
It seems like Xavier thinks Devonta is a good comp for him [Reply]
"I knew it all along!" Is this supposed to be some kind of intelligence confirmation? The very best you could really hope to accomplish. Is that your female intuition is on point on a mostly male dominated forum.
Is this how the sex change movement got started [Reply]
