That OU tape (Caleb Williams game) where he goes off for over 200 yards his freshmen year you can see the respect the defensive backs give him especially as the game progresses. They are off him around 10 yards at the line of scrimmage. Now that is not that uncommon in the college game, but after he burns them several times on comebackers and outs there is a play that is basically a go route where the DB is at least 9 yards back from him and immediately turns and sprints at the start of the snap...despite this Worthy catches and passes him and if it wasn't underthrown it goes for 6, he still catches it but the delay due to the weak throw allows the DB to catch back up.
You can see similar plays where they just start sprinting backwards against him the whole rest of the game, one he scores late tracking a deep ball all the way across the field. It looks like he basically barely beats the defense, but it is really reminiscent of what Reek used to do to defenses.
He may not be a volume receiver in year one, but he is going to tilt the field in our favor.
