Worthy had 0 catches for 0 yards last night and had a walk in touchdown that he absolutely just shit the bed on. The fact that it IS mental is EVEN WORSE. The sideline route he didn't even get a single foot in bounds! That's atrocious FOR COLLEGE. Yes I hope he gets it together but IT AINT LOOKING GOOD. So far dude has BEEN ASS. |

I'm a bit worried about Worthy, too, I was expecting his name to be coming up more in games, especially with Brown/Rice out, hopefully he can learn some things from a very established vet receiver in DHOP, and even Juju

Maybe he rides to work with Rice. Or should

The NFL is separated by the mental game. I never said it wasn't fixable so that's a strawman. I'm saying, so far, he's not looking great. No one can say that he is because last night was ASSSSS. Straight dirty stank ass. He's only getting a pass by some due to his draft status. So far, he's been super super mid. |

I think Worthy will be fine.
- Rookie mistake with the footwork last night, but let's not lose sight of the fact that he knew where to go (within 6 inches), and was wide ass open. - I hate reverse/stretch plays to the short side of the field. Even more so when you consider that Worthy will go down on first contact because of his frame, so unless he has space to move and it's blocked perfectly, it's probably not a great play call for him. - There's clips each week of him being wide ass open downfield.

He'll be fine. The long ball to him at the sideline COULD have been placed a little better, as he had at least 5 yds between the sideline and the defender. As DJN said earlier, he was wide open for quite a while but PM was late with the throw. But yes, he screwed up the catch. Should've been TD or just short.

I'll bet he and PM have it down good by the playoffs, no different than MVS did in his time here. He's 21, he's a rook, it's still not even half through the year. I don't think the staff has quite figured out yet how to use him in the 1-15 yard range.
Just hope people can recognize by now that he is NOT ever going to be a prototypical high volume #1 WR. He is a useful complement in a system like what KC has, with a QB who can throw it 65+ air yards. Having a volume #1 like Hopkins and/or Kelce will allow him to thrive in his explosive role, just wait and see... |

People were just way too high on him during the draft imo. He's lethal quick and it already helps us, but there were plenty of people talking up the route running, the YAC, hands. None of it was bad, but plenty was a work in progress, at best. There's a reason the fastest guy ever at the combine wasn't a top 15 pick and it wasn't just because he was rake thin.
He's not Desean Jackson. He's not Devonta Smith even. I don't think he's played well, but he's going to be a useful piece of the puzzle. At worst, a better MVS |

Mental errors may manifest themselves in a lot of different ways. Worthy's mental error was no better or worse than many of the ones Toney made last year. And Toney, like Worthy, did draw attention when he was on the field. The distinction between the two is that Worthy's just a steadier kid. He has a WAY better head on his shoulders. So you can more easily expect that he's going to get the mental stuff ironed out.

I mean, I think a lot of us said "Hey, if Rice develops as we hope, Hopkins is who he could be..."
Personally I saw Watkins as his prototype. Or Aiyuk. But others saw Hopkins and that's not unreasonable given his frame, play style and body control. So yeah, if we have the fully formed version of Rice back on the roster in Hopkins, we just lament what the injury means personally for Rice but it's time to move along. Because this version of Hopkins appears to be better than what we saw from Rice. I wouldn't have believed that for a second but man, D-Hop looks really good out there.

That was a MASSIVE window to throw into and Mahomes just held it a bit too long. It happens.
