Heard a scout guru (Nystrom) about Worthy today. His thoughts:
I was surprised when I saw the adp on Xavier Worthy. He of course broke the combine record for forty and creates separation. Where I think it could be an issue initially is Mahomes trusting him and staying on the field. Worthy has got a real issue with drops and that was catching the ball in the intermediate range, even short. Sometimes he was wide open, the ball would just clank off his hands. He also doesn't have a very good catch radius, so you have to fit it in there, and even then he's not money. Also not as good down-field as you would think for a guy of his speed. Texas didn't use him much with that. Right now Worthy is being projected as a starter in the offense with Brown, Rice as well Sky Moore. But the skill set of Xavier Worthy and Hollywood Brown are superfluous. That was one guy that Worthy was comped to during the pre-draft process. But Brown right now is way more reliable than Worthy, certainly as a route runner, but also the hands as well. Mahomes is gonna trust him more, and then the other concepts. Going down the field, posting up Rice for a lot of that stuff, and then of course you have the pass catching vacuum with tight end and Travis Kelsey. I don't know what about Worthy's profile justifies him being taken as high as he is. I don't think he starts super fast as a rookie.
