Why the Chiefs loved Xavier Worthy

I hope Worthy can be fully utilized right away. It's unlikely, but Rice being brought along slowly was frustrating last year.

The big difference though is that Rice doesn’t have elite speed. He really does have to rely on the passing game concepts much more than Worthy to be a factor. I’m very hopeful, and somewhat expecting he’s getting at least 6-8 targets from the very beginning.

Worthy is more polished and I think he may have picked up the playbook faster than Rice did. I don't think they have any intention of bringing Worthy along slowly.

Sounds like Worthy may be able to absorb stuff a lot quicker than Rice was able to do it. And if that is the case then he will probably get a lot more early on than Rice did last year.

I'm telling you guys they're gonna put Worthy out there to stretch the D to create space, and him and Mahomes are too damn good not to produce if he gets a bunch of snaps.
