Xavier Worthy - WR, UT

- 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/EcW7QtUrFF pic.twitter.com/811ahCEfMS

That deep ball was on Worthy. At every level of play WR’s are taught that it’s on them to bring it in when a QB delivers a catchable ball. Just drag your left foot, man, it’s basic, basic stuff and the rook has to bring it down in that situation.

Patrick took responsibility for it, as any locker room leader does, but Xavier has got to start becoming aware of where the sideline is.

the fact that he did the toe drag before the catch shows his situational awareness, needs to be refined. ?

andy needs to get the kid more involved. 0 targets the entire second half is unacceptable. imo he is capable of a lot more than i think a lot of us even realize... pats honestly just played like dog shit this season and there's no way around it. reasoning for that can be debated - but it is the truth.

[fadeaway]

Looked really dangerous until Reid decided to stop showing him off.

When he gets let loose for all 4 quarters he's going to be a real problem

yep Worthy had plenty of room to get that 2nd foot down and failed to do so.

Maybe he put it close to the sidelines because Worthy was running his route that direction? Worthy had every opportunity to complete the catch and failed to do so.

Many fans do not appreciate Worthy enough. He is a future all-pro.

Looking at that replay, that miss is mostly on Mahomes- no need to lead him that far to the sideline

[Trevo_410]

has the cover 2- "take what you can get underneath" adaptation ruined mahomes?

[chiefzilla1501]

It wasn’t a great mahomes pass but we’ve seen over and over again that worthy has zero instincts when it comes to keeping his feet in bounds. Never even an attempt at a toe drag or falling into the catch. If our WRs coaches were halfway competent, and I’m not sure they are, they’d be drilling this over and over. It’s a little shocking that a WR who’s gifted at the position (not just as a speed guy) has been so bad at this.

We’re overcomplicating this question in order to support a narrative.

Let’s disregard what the throw woulda, coulda, shoulda been. In a vacuum, should an NFL Wide Receiver be expected to catch the deep ball thrown to Worthy yesterday? If the answer is yes, which it is, then it’s on Worthy. It’s that simple.

Yeah, thats bad!

That should have been an easy TD. Mahomes had time, Worthy was so open there was no need to throw it so far outside. Terrible pass.

Should Worthy have caught it and been able to get both feet down, yes.

Worthy should have made the catch but Mahomes should have thrown a TD.

It's Worthy's fault he couldn't stay in bounds.

It's Mahomes' fault that ball was thrown so close to the sideline. That should be a walk in TD, not a tiptoe sideline catch. I hold Mahomes to a higher standard than a rookie WR. He needs to be better on these deep throws. He either overthrows his WR or leads him tooo much toward the sideline.

These types of opportunities only happen once or twice per game so missing them is very deflating.
