From the article

Worthy doesn't look like the confident player he was in the second half of his rookie year. He's shying away from contact. He's not strong at the catch point. He's not beating defenders to the corner. I'm struggling to understand how to use a player who doesn't win deep, doesn't play with the physicality needed to win across the middle, and can't break tackles to win after the catch.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Worthy lacks confidence and physicality; unclear how Chiefs will use him effectively.

Worthy is not playing with the confidence or physicality required to be effective; he's shying away from contact, not strong at the catch point, not beating defenders to the corner, and can't break tackles after the catch. The source questions what the proper usage is for a receiver who doesn't win deep, doesn't play with physicality across the middle, and lacks after-catch ability, suggesting the Chiefs themselves are struggling to find a role for him.
