closetojumping Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Worthy's rating is kind of stunning. I hope he kills it at the combine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harveycmd Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Must admit I don't agree with the "grading." Any player drafted in the first three rounds (with the exception of some QBs) is taken with the expectation that he will be a starter within two, at the outside, three years. Many RBs, LBs, and OGs are taken in the fourth or fifth round with the expectation they will be starters within three years. That covers all these guys down to Christian Jones, maybe Ford and Watts too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his speed is underrated in that grade. If Mecole Hardman can catch a game-winning TD in the Super Bowl, then so can Xavier Worthy. Worthy has similar speed and is a better receiver long-term. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Cowboy Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Is there a link for these? I can’t seem to find the 2024s, and NFLdotcom is such a buggy site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think his upside might be more tied to his OC, than most players. If he gets an OC like Bill OBrien, then that grade may turn out true. Put him with KC and I can’t buy enough Worthy stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danimal Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 The grade definitions are absolute nonsense. For example, I don't know if the boom-or-bust grade is a good or bad thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Gerry Hamilton Posted February 22 Moderators Share Posted February 22 Worthy needs to tear up the gauntlet drill. If he does, he will ascend. If he struggles ... the concerns will again be validated IMO> 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it's not supposed to be analyzed in sequential order. To me boom or bust means a guy has a ton of talent but off the field issues/maturity issues/questionable desire to work.

I really cant imagine him being an average starter. He either can take the physicality and will be a very good player or he cant and he will be more of a gadget type player with a limited role Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HookemTexas Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 As with college, I think a little luck plays into whether a player will be successful or not (most of the time). As someone said earlier, Worthy's production may vastly differ from being in KC's offense versus being in say the Bears. Also, there's a big difference in which QB is throwing you the ball, which is also out of the player's control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryantnelson02 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 J-Whitt needs to be talking to Lil-Jordan and Collin J every day. They are both heading into the 5th-6th year just hanging around on NFL rosters that's J-Whitt's path as well. He has the mental makeup to just grind every day and stay on a roster!
