I don't know why you'd be surprised. He's shown little to no YAC ability.

That's why I think Brett Kollman's Lamb comparison is odd.

Nice stats, thank you for sharing!

Just further proof that Worthy screams Chiefs WR type.

Like staylor26 said, WORTHY! Reid/Veach get this player! Build the offense!

I'm coming around. M. Worthy, X. Worthy, and bring back M. Hardman to keep fresh legs on the field.

[UChieffyBugger]

I just can't shake the fear that Worthy would be another Hardman. Time to try something new.

I still think Franklin might present the best available combination of deep threat and YAC. Worthy got a lot of screens, I'm not sure his YAC was quite as diverse as others.

Then watch him play.

Even as 20-year-old college Jr Worthy shows better route-running and ball-tracking than Hardman does after five years of NfL development.

They’re both smaller, really fast guys. That’s it as far as similarities.

Ok, wait a minute... Javon Baker averaged 21.9 yards per catch!? Why isn't he our guy?

He was here on a private visit last week. I think there is a very high chance that the Chiefs pull the trigger on him in the second round.

After reading about him, I’ve seen some people say that he reminds them of a more technically polished version of Juju Smith-Schuster.

FWIW to me I think a good pro comp for Javon Baker is Jayden Reed

I'd be much more surprised if he weren't near last.

Running routes better than Mecole is a low bar.


I would place Worthy 3rd on Texas at route running, behind both Adonai Mitchell (who weighs 40 lbs more) and Ja'Tavion Sanders who weighs 80 lbs more.

Worthy is better than both of those guys at running routes by a country ****ing mile.
