The Chiefs don't need, or even want, Worthy to be the next Hill. I think people are overreacting with that take. They just need him to be a better MVS. Anything they get from him above that is just a bonus. Hill is one of one. Veach and Reid are smart enough to know that. They're not trying to replace Hill with Worthy. They're replacing MVS. That's the lens that people should be looking at this draft pick through. I get he's fast. So, everyone wants to believe they're looking for the next Hill, but that's not what's going on. They need a guy who's speed scares the defense more than MVS, and Worthy definitely should. MVS was fast, but not explosive not to mention could only catch the ball if his body was facing the ball like he was receiving a low punt. Worthy is more explosive and can catch the ball in-stride without having to turn around to face it. The Chiefs won two Superbowls without Hill. They're not chasing for a Hill replacement. Literally won more Superbowls without Hill than with Hill and shut the Dolphins down in the playoffs because Sneed shutdown Hill. The Chiefs are all about diversifying offensive production now. They don't want to depend so heavily on one receiver to win.
I agree with you 💯...However, wouldn't it be nice if he lands somewhere between Hill and Hardman? That would be a big it.
I don’t even think hill and worthy have the same physical skill set. Reek just looks quicker and more electric while worthy seems to have more straight line speed.
So well said, great breakdown.
This guy knows something 😂
Exactly. He’s MVS replacement.
The 2 most successful "small guys" were Tyreek Hill and Desean Jackson, they both had one thing in common... Andy Reid... who Worthy will also have.
generational speed as well
Hill was also 20+ pounds heavier.
@@ak203 The thing is though, Hill isnt really the person we should be comp'n him to anyways, it should be Desean Jackson, who he actually takes after in his play anyways.
@@dalehammers4425 yeah they also had John Ross seen how that worked out for them lol
@dalehammers4425 yeah I've yet to see one player I could actually compare to Hill. Guy just moves different than everybody else.
The creativity and amount of pre-snap motion the Chiefs tend to put on display will help a lot. They will find ways to get him released off the line untouched and already moving. Dude is tiny, so he will need to be used appropriately. Luckily for him he landed under Andy Reid who knows exactly what to do with these guys.
I'm not terribly worried about the contested catches because the Chiefs don't really rely on them. They prefer to scheme the receivers open so they don't have to make a ton of contested catches. The Chiefs are probably the best possible landing spot for Worthy because of that.
Yeah, I’m trying to think of the last time I saw Pat throw a contested catch (on purpose). I guess that throw to Kelce near the end of regulation, in the Super Bowl might count, but other than that it’s a pretty rare thing.
Happens alot more than you're remembering.
@@adamburckhartt4919you are mixing up contested catches and tight window throws
@goldenageofdinosaurs7192 The last two years he has had to make a lot more contested throws. When they had a decent WR room with JuJu that wasn't too bad, but it was nearly impossible this year. No separation between the receivers.
To your point, bringing in Hollywood brown, and kelce and Rice all garner attention on defense for their ability to read zones…. Worthy will really allow mahomes to pick his shots. And read what defenses are trying to do, worthy opens up the underneath for routes from both brown and kelce, while also being a more explosive option than MVS stretching the field, or that’s the hope with him at least.
It’s going to make defense either rely heavily on Man, leaving opportunity for brown worthy and kelce, or force them into off coverage zone, which also provides opportunity for exceptional routes from brown and kelce specifically due to their high IQ… and I’m sure rice and worthy will begin to figure out how to read NFL zone soon enough to really make this a potent offense at all three levels .
I did a breakdown of the UT pass catchers predraft on my channel and I saw worthy as a much more well rounded route runner than he gets credit for. He is not a perfect player of course, no prospect is but we lose sight of the fact that coming into the league Tyreek was a punt returner, he developed his craft and became an amazing player. Worthy has the potential to be good to start and could be incredible if he gets coached up and is used properly.
Thats a strong argument.
what did sark ask XW to do
@@ektran4205 I do cover it in more detail in my video so if you want more detail feel free to check it out but from what I saw all the deep posts and go routes of course, some crossers but what he will do well this year are the predetermined motion across into the snap routes either into the flat. He could turn the corner against LBs really well and get 6-10 yards minimum pretty consistently. I even saw him through a beautiful WR pass. He could be very versatile and fun if used properly.
Worthy is tied for the most YAC on short passes (under 10 yds) in the NCAA over the last 10 years with Deebo. He’s not just a vertical guy. Worthy’s production would have been better, but he was saddled with some inconsistent QBs at Texas. It’s remarkable how well he produced since his off-target number was the highest of any WR in the draft because of the QB situation. The “Worthy is down there somewhere…” joke was unfortunately not always a joke during his college career.
I couldn’t disagree more than your assessment on his route running, he was one of the best route runners in this draft, he sinks his hips well, he has quiet feet in his breaks and he can win at any point in his route.
Worthy is a better MVS right away in this offense IMO that’s his floor. I think he has better hands than MVS. His speed and route running ability is going to make the other chief weapons better and should help the chiefs run game be better a little bit better because of the attention Worthy’s going to draw. Plus NFL defense’s will be stressed every time he goes in motion because you have to respect Worthy’s burst,acceleration,or what ever you want to call it. I could easily see Andy Reid’ dialing up 1-2 jet sweeps or end arounds for Worthy a game.
Worthy has better hands than Hill too, his drop rate is skewed by his sophomore season when he had a broken hand. People forget how often Hill drops balls, usually top 3 in the league in drops. People overlook it because of how fast he is, but he drops a LOT of balls.
1st…PFF is horrible and makes a lot of assumptions on plays. However, Worthy has PLENTY of highlights where he made plays over the middle …up and down the route tree. Good hands….he will fit into the system well….he is just a piece of the puzzle. Kelce will play a role…Rice will play a role….Watson will make the normal plays. He FITS the system.
Don't forget Hollywood! Worthy plus Hollywood is too much speed to handle. When a defense has to respect all 4 targets the only way they win is in the trench.
X will be what the Chiefs dreamed and hoped Mecole could have/should have been. He’ll have around 600 yards his rookie year adjusting to the contact and physicality. Then he’ll have around 900-1100 yards per year for the next 8 years as a mid tier WR2.
As a Chiefs fan I wasn’t overly excited about the pick but I understand the Chiefs brand.
#ChiefsKingdom
Tyreek Hill is a 1 of 1. Xavier will be closer to Hollywood or Jaylen Waddle than Tyreek as far as production goes.
I like X’s rac ability, the deceptive route running, change of speeds and deep ball tracking. I’m worried that his 4.21 speed will never show up. On tape he looks closer to 4.4 and that’s all that I’m worried about. He looks closer to the 4.5 skinny guys like Jordan Addison, Devonta Smith and Tank Dell who all weighed in at under 173lbs. But all those guys are productive good players. Good worry to have I suppose 😂
@@Treday2day sark didn't ask XW TO DO MUCH
Old guy here. Really hoping the Chiefs could get a big receiver, more physical type 6’3” 220 lbs with GIANT hands. Oh well, maybe a UDFA will show up.
Anyway, I’m hoping this guy will catch some deep passes from #15, help stretch the field, open up the middle game. That really make Travis even more effective.
I think Andy Reid is going to have a field day scheming Worthy and Brown open. Between them and Rice, they are going to be “speed demons”, no pun intended!
Let’s go Chiefs with the 3peat.
We dont actually have a need for a player like that, we use Kelce for that, we needed another Hill type to take the top off a defense. Those big guys wont get the chance if the defense is crowding the box and covering everything they would need to run for.
Should have gotten Adonai Mitchell
@@123shoshan Every team passed on him, most twice.
Andy Reid does not use large physical recievers. There is no reason to get one based on size alone. KC doesn't throw jump balls/contested balls. Rice excelled at that in college and got maybe 1 thrown his way last year.
Rice is that guy. The field is gonna be wide open this year. Between the 4 pass catchers and Pacheco. Good luck stopping us
Worthy played with a broken hand most of 2022, that's where a lot of the contested drops came from.
i feel like you also need to bring up the gravity that kelce and rice will have in the middle but if they have hollywood and worthy taking the top off or staying near the sidelines.
Andy Reid himself compared Worthy to DeSean Jackson. Which I think is much better than the Tyreek hill comp
I don’t think they want him to be making contested catches. They want him and brown to stretch the field, something they have not had in two years. This will further open up the underneath for rice and kelce since they will have two formidable deep threats. The most important thing KC needs form him and and brown is ball tracking. Hardman and MVS were fast af… both were ass at ball tracking (which is something tyreek hill was elite at)
When tyreke was drafted he was considered a return man only that's why he went so far in the draft , if took him until about his 3rd year to turn into the tyreke we see now , from the film I've seen worthy is far ahead of tyreke his rookie year as far as routes and being a true reciever . Worthy had like 1200 receiving yards last year and had 27 career TD so he's deff not just speed .
He’s better than Tyreek was COMING OUT… Tyreek played RB in college. Mainly gadget stuff & returns
Lol
People don’t know that
💯 He only had more receptions than rushing attempts once in his college Career at all 3 schools and that was when it was 27 rec and 25 rush. Chiefs unlocked him
@@manman2991 Laugh all you like, its true. It took Hill a couple years to master playing WR. He was a return guy and gadget player his first 2 years, its why he was called a return specialist by players disrespecting his WR play. This is historical fact, but laugh away. His first pro-bowl was as a special team guy.
@@goodsbys0120 But he was still a receiving back, not a WR.
They are gonna use him more as a returner his rookie season while he gets the playbook down and fills out a little. Veach mentioned multiple times how he thinks Worthy and Hollywood will open things up for Kelce and Rashee underneath.
Rice will miss only 2-4 games and get probation at the MAX. Last season he finally got around 70%+ snaps consistently starting wk 12..... he was INSTANTLY a top 5-8 WR over his next 7 games and then broke Jamar Chase's rookie WR playoff total catch record.... was a top12 rated WR. Was historical at getting YAC..... and now he will have even more room lol.
Totally agree on all of that except for how long Rice will be out. My head says it should be 4 games. My gut says the NFL always surprises us and does more than what the head thinks. If Rice gets 5-6 game suspension instead we will survive but they'll have to lean on Hollywood immediately. Doubt they'll give Worthy many looks (just off Reid's rookie track record) even with Rice out. Once Rice is back, and Hollywood and Worthy settle in...there is no stopping that offense. Kelce, Rice underneath, speedsters outside, Watson sprinkled in. Heck it's gonna make life easier on Pacheco too.
Tyreek Hill is past tense we have won two super bowls without Tyreek Hill is over done. Please note we do not need or want Tyreek Hill he has moved on just like the Chiefs has moved on without Tyreek Hill
Exactly I see is game as desaun Jackson
Worthy is going to be an absolute beast in this Chiefs offense! He's tailor made for what Andy Reid likes to do. People are worried about his weight? Thats such a minor thing that can be fixed he's already up to 172 lbs from what I hear.
As a Longhorns Fan, I hope he has an amazing Career. As a Raiders fan, I hope he's an absolute bust
😂
2b fair tyreek didnt come outta college refined. He worked on his game at the nfl level and became who he is today.
Worthy is going to prove worthy of his selection. REID IS GOING TO SCHEME HIM OPEN LIKE CRAZY!! HE GETS SEPERATION, RUN GOOD RIUTES, AND HAS VERY GOOD HANDS!!
Why compare him to Tyreek... If anybody thought Tyreek would become what he did, he wouldn't have slid that far. His game is not at all perfect and he droped a lot of balls over the years (just watch his last pass from Mahomes against the Bengals....). So yeah, Worthy is no Tyreek Hill but nobody is. But he plays strong and tough, has next level athleticism and can run routes. John Ross only had one of these traits. And by the way, he just turned 21 after the draft and was never hurt. A lot of possible upside with the dude.
Please people! Remember Tyreek Hill wasn't Tyreek Hill until his 3rd year. He put in a lot of work before becoming the elite WR he is today. I Remeber seeing interviews of Hill admitting to having to work on becoming more than just a returner. So let's stop comparing Worthy to Hill, and saying he is like Hill or will never be like Hill. Let's give him time to grow and then see where he's at. The next few years will be entertaining to watch play out tho.
People forget it took Tyreek hill a few years to become a really good receiver.He was a gadget player for a few years
what was your wr rankings pre draft? and who would you have picked at 28?
It doesnt really matter who he would have picked, he's not the one deciding what our offense does next year, Andy Reid is, and he clearly wanted Worthy.
Calling Hill a contestet ball catcher is just hilirious.. That was definitly not one of his strengths...
Tyreek hill is actually really great when it comes to contested catches.
Remember that catch he had over two defenders against Houston.
@@yeelicious-6232 which game do you mean?
I see him more as a body-catch-typ.. and i always think about his 3 or 4 ints in his last year with KC, that were caused of his incapacity to catch contestet balls..
@@Stony82 I believe it was week 6 of the 2019 nfl season.
People need to stop hating on Worthy..He will succeed in the NFL HOOK EM!🤘🏾
Comparing him with DeSean Jackson is more appropriate. I felt Worthy was more of a 2nd round talent. Brown and Worthy are going to open the field for Kelce and the running game. Defenses are going to have to pick their poison. Mahomes should throw for over 5,000 yards next year.
He was second round on a lot of boards, but great for the Chiefs' scheme 😉
He probably is, but when you pick last in every round, sometimes your first round will be an early 2nd, 2nd round will be an early 3rd etc. That’s the price of success. I do wish the Super Bowl winner got the 20th pick, lol.
All I’m saying is, the comparison to tyreek is accurate but yall gotta remember Reid made hill, took a Rb/punt returner and put him in the spot where he would shine. And he caught his eye cause of the speed. So what’s to say he can’t be another runner up. Talent comes and goes but Reid is a mastermind. I think worthy is a great fit and is gonna help with that 3 peat
Another thing to add is when you come to the chiefs there are high standards. So you better believe people are bringing their all. We aren’t world champs for half ass workers. We push ourselves past the limit. And that’s what wins
Its silly to compare him to current tyreek hill but worthy is 2x better than tyreek hill was in college and coming out as a prospect. As a chiefs fan I seen first hand the progression hill went through. While I agree it would be crazy to for sure think Worthy will be better or as good as tyreek hill, its not like tyreek hill just came out good at stuff, so im interested to see how much worthy will develop and if he can use his game breaking speed and become an elite WR the way TH as done.
How many TDs will he get as a rookie?
If 6+ its a good pick. Right?
5 or 6 seems right.
Chiefs and Mahomes were tired of dinkin and dunkin so they’re ready to unleash Mahomes again
I think the Chiefs mainly want to push those safeties back like they were against hill
2 straight super bowls who cares Worthy is the ultimate lottery pick great points
Speed kills
Unless you show similar film of Tyreek in college, the comparison -- or lack of it -- isn't worth much,
I was disappointed they picked him. I predict he’ll be a bust. I hope I’m wrong but I don’t think I am. We’ll just have to wait and see
wdym overrated you mean over hated
This dude has picked against kc for years 🤣🤣 never learns his lesson. Can’t wait to revisit this video in two years
Adonai Mitchell is better
@@123shoshanwhat round did he get drafted in again? This Mitchell guy
@@123shoshanNot for the chiefs, they are looking for speed speed speed.
He’s over hated because he’s with the chiefs lol.
All I’m gonna say is tyreek hill wasn’t even tyreek hill to begin with he was more used on speacial teams to begin with and they developed him obviously that’s not necessarily gonna be the same for worthy but he is the right kind of receiver that Reid likes, i think he’ll be like a desean jackson
We signed Jawaan and we won SB, so it is a good sign, what you are talking about?
He's got an invitation to the dance now he has learn football the chiefs way
Rice University isn't a top 25 defense
sark told XW to just be a deep threat
Please stop comparing NFL players who has been in the league for over five years with guys that are 21 years old coming from college . Everyone is unique in there own talent and let them be of there own
Come on Kruger you know dang well worthy is the best WR in the nfl draft gooooooo chiefsssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Who is getting the best undrafted players?
Kurt Warner and Tony Romo were undrafted
Overrated but Big Red will get him right and make it work
Do you know what a go route is. You say hes not good on contested catches calliing it a go route when its not a go route
Lol, the 165ish weight is concerning.
DeSean Jackson, but faster...quite a bit faster actually
You have always been a Chiefs hater. It was nice watching you eat Crow the last two years. 😂
Can't wait to beat the Bills
Bro Tyreek Hill wasn't Tyreek Hill his rookie year. The guy will develop or he won't.
Andy Reid made Desean Jackson and Tyreek hill he can do it again.Tyreek was not who he is today for the first 2 years.
People forget so easily what Hill was at first. His first pro bowl was as a special teamer.
I'm going to his highlights because you talk way too much and the back and forth is annoying..
😂😂
Bro might be top 3 haters of all time
