re: Texas X Worthy with a 4.21, new combine record

Did you watch Xavier play? He is a physical guy. He took shots from All-Americans and got extra yardage time & time again.

If people knock him for his size, the Chiefs will take him at the end of the first round and Mahomes will go berserk throwing bombs to Worthy for the next 7 years.

The NFL is different from college.

Trindon Holiday was a small guy who was fast as hell and successful in college (same weight as Worthy but shorter so he was more solid). In the pros he only contributed as a return man.

165 is miniscule, especially for a guy who's 5'11". The speed can't be overlooked, but I think most NFL teams will take guys who are still 4.4 but have decent size. I'd be shocked if any team risks a first round pick on him. We'll see though.

Good luck to the kid, but he would have been better served to be at 180 at the combine and run a tenth of a second slower.
