I am not at all comparing Worthy to Tyreek, but the difference between Tyreek and our other gadget guys was that Tyreek had the WR skills too. Worthy isn't Hardman. He can track the ball in the air. He's a much better route runner than Hardman was coming out too. |

And as for that catch - it's a very good one but almost to the point that I'm not sure it's not about 1/2 luck. Let's do the most extreme example so as to not make this sound worse than it is. If OBJ attempted that insane Monday Night catch 50 times, he'd snag it maybe 3 or 4 of them. It took great skill to be in the position to make the catch but sometimes these guys surprise themselves. I kinda wonder if Worthy didn't there. Though to your overarching point, yes, I far prefer Worthy to Mitchell. Because I think Worthy's floor is a lot higher. Worthy is GOING to produce in this league. Maybe never more than 5-600 yards in a season if he doesn't fully develop, but he'll produce. Mitchell could just end up being Jalen Reagor. There's just nothing special there, IMO. |

But yea, it's even not about this one catch, he just consistently shows the WR skills to be more than just a gadget guy. And we know with our history that we can plug a guy like him in right away and get 500+ yards and 6+ TDs in the gadget role alone year 1. |

Yeah. The issue with Mitchell is he's probably the same speed as Higgins but 20 pounds lighter. So if you add weight to help him play a more physical game, he's just going to get slower. He also doesn't look to have elite agility at his size like a guy like Hopkins has. That's not to say he can't be good, but any visions of him blowing by an NFL corner are probably null and void. We'll see what he runs before I make a final assessment but right now Mitchell is in my bottom half of the 2nd range. If he runs significantly faster than what I see watching the guy on TV, I might change my opinion. I just see him as a guy that got plenty of 1-on-1 looks because of the fear of Worthy over the top and he had enough to stick it to some college DBs. That's fine. I'm not saying he'll be bad I just don't think he's going to amazing either

Worthy falls right in that 5'11-6'1 range Dj and I were talking about the other day.

Many of his highlights on YouTube are just deep shots, but he is more than just a straight line deep threat.
He isn't the route runner that AD Mitchell is, but he is a much better route runner than MVS, and it's not even close. |

Mims is nowhere near as explosive (to me anyway) as Worthy, and I think Andy would love to design plays for another 4.2 guy. |

He's a slight dude. Not fair to call him 'little' necessarily, but there's not a super long list of guys built like him that hold up well to the NFL. I mean your first thought is Waddle but Waddle was shorter/thicker than Worthy. I can really only think of DeVonta Smith of late. Does worthy have that kind of explosion? Is he that easy in/out of his cuts? Feels like that's the kind of guy you hope Worthy can be but that's a pretty tall order. All due respect to Worthy, what DeVonta was doing at Alabama was damn near unprecedented. Worthy wasn't THAT. And on that subject, you just know that MahomesMagic would've been here calling Jerry Jeudy the big dawg Alpha at Alabama while Smith was just a tiny slot guy... |
