It will be interesting to see how the Chiefs use him since he can line up virtually anywhere on the field. Mahomes loves these types of WRs, and has excelled with these type of WRs going back to his college years. So, I'm excited for the possibilities of great things to come even tho I wanted more of a traditional X wr.



I'm confused I guess. Why would we line him up in the slot primarily? His highlight tapes suggest he lines up outside a lot.

He's everything we wanted from Mecole, and then some.

The Chiefs wanted him and Hollywood to take the top off and back the safeties off.

I am sure Nagy will dial up some silly gadget stuff near the LOS but that's not his value.

Based on the film, Worthy is 165lbs with an apparent 225lb mentality. There's your "Alpha."

Remember it took Tyreek a full year.

I'm sure some of his reps will from the slot; we'll definitely see him run some jet sweeps, etc. But unless I'm missing something, he looks to be a boundary WR, not a slot guy.

Pretty much every draft site agrees that he is great at route running. I don't know enough to say if he is or not, so I'll go with people that probably do.


https://www.nfldraftbuzz.com/Player/...orthy-WR-Texas

"has the route-running skills of a savvy vet."

https://lastwordonsports.com/nfl/202...ick%20returner.

"Good route runner with the talent to refine route running even more."

https://syndication.bleacherreport.c...as-wr.amp.html

"Good route-running tools. Quick feet and loose hips to transition in and out of breaks well."

https://thedraftnetwork.com/2024/01/...nfl-draft-2024

"Plus-level route-runner"

https://www.profootballnetwork.com/x...scouting-2024/

*High-energy athlete with wicked foot speed and lateral twitch out of his stance.

Can keep speed while using curvilinear acceleration and bend to sear through breaks.

Stop-and-start, speed, and flexibility amount to devastating upside as a separator.

Manipulative route runner who actively weaponizes speed to bait DBs into fading upfield.

Can masterfully throttle up into stems and use tempo modulations to tug DBs off kilter.

Versatile WR with a vast route tree, elite sinking capacity, and freedom on breaks."

He should be the #2 vertical and stay there his entire time here.

A deep threat who can track the ball it coukd be fun.

Even if people hate this pick even the pundits are afraid to say anything negative. We pretty much broke everyone in the NFL .

xztop123 04-25-2024 10:50 PM

He has those flexible ankles and hips that Toney has and better speed that Hardman / Mvs

When we play Buffalo next time their safeties won't even be visible on the television.


Next year's offense will look like 2022 again.
