That's Xavier Worthy from Texas - he set the Combine 40 record at 4.21 (faster than the Cheetah). But he's only165 lbs on a 5"11" frame (there's cycling sprinters bigger than him. Lol).

He's not going to survive at that weight. Just wait until some 210 lb safety with bad intentions obliterates him. He's going from getting hit by Big 12 DBs to the best of the best of NFL DBs. Unless he falls down after every catch or runs out of bounds, I predict he'll be hurt before season's end.

Yes I heard that he was fast but small.

Just for comparison, Tyreek Hill (reportedly) weighs 191 lbs. Both Jaylen Waddle and Tyler Lockett come in around 185. I thought Christian Kirk would be one of the smaller guys, but when I looked him up PFF has him at 200, and another site at 195. That's 30lbs heavier than Worthy!

Then there are guys like DK Metcalf, who ain't exactly slow, and weighs between 225-230.

I think Hill's weight is accurate - he spends a fair amount time in the weight room. And if you notice when he does his post-game interviews, he likes to take his pads & jersey off just wearing the sleeveless tank & he's pretty jacked.

At 191, Hill is bigger than Achane (5'9" 188) & the Bronco's McLaughlin (5'8" 187) both RBs that get a good amount of carries.

Netflix did a fantastic job of making it seem like he hates being on the Raiders, wants out, and (by presumption) should be on the Jets, with Aaron Rodgers throwing him the ball.

Doesn't matter that his agents resoundely stated he had zero interest in a trade at all. Doesn't matter when even he himself says he's where he wants to be. That didn't fit the narrative.

Netflix showed us the truth. You believe them, don't you?

F it, go to the Raiders and catch the ball from the backups when Rodgers gets injured or something happens. See how he likes that.

Just went to a doctor that gave me the possible remedy for the hands youth football gave me. Being a fast wide receiver doesn't always mean you don't get tackled and the first protection on dirt fields in a fall are those digits.
News was what we should all expect at some point: "we can't successfully fix that, that and that. But it's good your overall health is good and you keep active. How'd you break your neck by the way?"

Metcalf hits like 260. As fast as he is no one within 40 lbs of him is tracking him deep, either. I was amazed how stout Tyreek was considering how outright quick he proved to be. He can take a hit pretty well but also seems to have skills to avoid the last minute contact like Lockett.
One of the greatest plays in offense is to catch a ball between two defenders; each looking to remove your head but they take each other out as you gopher just in time!

I have enjoyed the first two episodes of the Receivers series. I don't think that Netflix has done a better job than NFL Films, but just something different... and excellent. Like I said I have only seen the first two but immediately you see that the life these guys live is absolutely, stark and fragile. You see men at the height of physical and athletic, financial viability and they are a tackle or in one case an ankle turn away from being permanently finished with football. You see a young athlete being described as " betting on himself " by doing some pretty strong negotiations on a new contract. And in a twist of fate he is on injured reserve!!!
Showing the pressure is really really amazing..
Seeing 3 outstanding brothers and after LSU one goes on to the NFL and says.. " they can live through me" and all the players have an infrastructure where many, many people are depending on them. I will watch all of it.. Wish there was more content like it.. Really interesting and excellent

Hall of Fame game on Thursday, on ESPN. For certain Williams will play. If Stroud plays it will be very little. But I think a lot of people are looking forward to seeing Caleb throw. He's certainly said all the right things since being drafted.

Edit: Williams not even playing this game. Last day scratch. In fact the Bears are playing NO projected starters at all. Not sure who the Texans will suit up.
