STACKED’s take
Worthy's 6.6 yards per target ranks 51st among 60 first-round WRs since 2011; bust-adjacent company.
Through his first 33 career games, Worthy ranks 32nd in receptions, 38th in receiving yards, and 33rd in receiving touchdowns among 60 first-round wide receivers drafted between 2011 and 2025. More concerning is his efficiency: 6.6 yards per target ranks 51st among that group, placing him alongside a list of notable busts including Kevin White, John Ross, Kadarius Toney, Jalen Reagor, N'Keal Harry, Laquon Treadwell, and Corey Coleman. The source notes this is especially worrisome given Worthy plays for a Hall of Fame coach and future Hall of Fame quarterback, eliminating the typical excuses of poor scheme or quarterback play that helped other early-career underperformers recover.
