Another thing that makes me optimistic about Worthy’s intelligence and ability to digest Reid’s playbook early is that their usage of him didn’t appear limited at all. They had Worthy line up off the tackle, in the slot, on the boundary, on and off the line, as part of trips, in stacked alignments, and both with and without motion. He played basically everywhere you could think of and ran a wide variety of routes. That set him apart even from Rashee Rice as a rookie, as Rice’s role was generally limited to a certain set of the route tree. Worthy ran more variety of intermediate and deep routes in one preseason game than Rice did through 8 weeks last year.
