One needn't look very hard to see shades of Rice's 2023 ascent in Worthy's efforts last year as his role grew as the season wore on, culminating in five TDs over his final five games, including three in the playoffs and two in the Super Bowl. Flanked by veterans like Hopkins and Smith-Schuster, Worthy moved at a different speed. Even with a lack of complementary threats, defenses had trouble checking the then-rookie, who did a lot of his damage on passes near the line of scrimmage where the Chiefs simply let his athleticism win out.
Adding the playmaking ability of Rice and a healthy Brown to Worthy should only serve to make last year's first-round pick even more dangerous. We've already seen what he's capable of just via the coaching staff finding ways to get him the ball in space, but Reid's proclamation that KC will be more aggressive with the vertical passing game in 2025 could be a further boon for Worthy, whose speed must be accounted for on every snap.
Although he doesn't feel quite as "safe" of a selection as Rice, at least in terms of on-field production, Worthy belongs in that same low-end WR2 or high-end WR3 category. If the Chiefs succeed in getting that offense more dynamic, it wouldn't be out of the question for Kansas City to produce more than one 1,000-yard receiver in 2025.
