Worthy is the flavor of the month?
Worthy had a mid-2nd to mid-1st grade a while ago ago. You know what grade Adonai had up until a couple months ago? About the 4th-5th round. You know why? Because Adonai isn't polished and he's wildly inconsistent. He had 3 games to write home about in 2023. Kansas. Kansas State. Oklahoma State. He got a couple of big plays on Alabama with broken coverage assignments but outside of those they shut him down, just like every other team all season long. Take those 3 games away and he had 31 receptions for 446 yards in 11 games. Take away Worthy's best 3 games and he had 50 receptions for 676 yards in 11 games. So 3 catches for 40 yards in most games versus 5 catches for 60 yards in most games. That's a pretty significant discrepancy.
But you know what I acknowledge? That Adonai has the chance to develop into a really good NFL WR. He has a ways to go, and I don't know if he has enough the minute he steps on a field to warrant a 1st round pick, but he's
easily a 2nd round pick that you can take a shot on just like a George Pickens or an Alec Pierce. He's more in line with those guys than any guys you've referenced at any point that I can recall. And that is 100% fine. If he does develop fully into his potential, you have a really great WR. And if you decide you need to take him in 1, then that's okay too. I wouldn't bitch. It's like the conundrum with the kid GB took, Watson. He wasn't a 1st rounder, he just wasn't ready to be a big time player right away. But they took him super early... close enough to our pick... with the expectation they could develop the flaws.
When Worthy steps onto an NFL field, teams have to immediately respect his ability to house it on any play. They have to respect his ability to snap off whip routes. They have to respect his ability to get deep and track the football. That's alot more than you have to currently respect with Adonai and it's why college teams put their best CBs on Worthy and rolled coverages over the top while leaving Adonai one-on-one against their #2. It's reality. And that's not a 3rd round pedigree. I don't care what way you want to spout off on that. Worthy is as good as both Jordan Addison and Zay Flowers were as prospects last year but he's way faster. His route variation and ability to snap routes are every bit on par with those kids. His hands are at least on par with Flowers. And he's the fastest player ever recorded at he combine to boot. Addison was 5'11' 173. Worthy is 5'11" 165. Addison just put up 70/911/10. The **** if Worthy isn't a 1st round prospect.
