Xavier Worthy actually reminded me quite a bit of Tyreek Hill on film. Not the seasoned veteran Tyreek, but a more raw, physically gifted Tyreek. He has the elite speed and agility that can see him excel in the right offense. From the games in 2023, I watched, his hands did not concern me. He ran through tackles at times and even trucked a safety into the end zone. He will never be elite on contested catches, but I thought he was adequate. He shines on deep routes, comebacks, and screens. He has great vision to hit a crease and get loose on screens. His comeback routes are very similar to Tyreek's, and obviously, with his speed, he is a deep ball threat every play. He is a player that needs to be in a system that understands his talents and how to effectively use him. On a team like the Patriots, he will make much less of an impact than he would on the Dolphins for example. He has boom or bust potential depending on where he is selected, but doesn't everyone?
