Maybe let’s learn the difference between breaks and brakes.

 

Worthy is a pipsqueak.

It was posted above that we drafted the CB version of Worthy in Hairston. Both are 5’11” super fast guys. Hairston came out of college listed as 183lbs. Worthy was a puny 167lbs. That begs the question of durability from even an uninterested bystander.  Time will tell, but it’s a legit concern.

Hairston is completely unrelated to the Worthy trade.  This thread was set up for people to cry that we didn’t get Worthy.  Let it breathe for a while before it morphs into some other reason why every third poster would be a better GM than Beane.

I’ve never seen too much correlation between weight and injury issues. Think of the small slot receivers over the years who were incredibly durable. Is there a chance someone at that size is injury prone? Absolutely, but I don’t think it’s a major concern. Then you have guys like Bosa and Gronk who were always injured.

Bosa and Gronk play a physical brand of football (and I wouldn’t ignore the potential juice factor contributing to injury). Worthy is all about avoiding contact to survive. He’s not a guy you put out there to help in the run game. There is a very good reason the NFL is not littered with 165 lb guys. 

 

AI Overview

For the 2025 NFL season, there are very few players who weigh less than 170 lbs

. Based on current reports, some players include: 

Tez Johnson (Tampa Bay Buccaneers): At 154 pounds, the rookie wide receiver is the lightest player in the NFL.

Xavier Worthy (Kansas City Chiefs): This speedster wide receiver is listed at 165 pounds.

Blake Grupe (New Orleans Saints): The kicker is listed at 156 pounds.

Jake Elliott (Philadelphia Eagles): The Eagles' kicker is listed at 167 pounds.

KaVontae Turpin (Dallas Cowboys): The Pro Bowl return specialist is listed at 153 pounds. 

It's important to remember that roster weights can change throughout the season due to player development and team adjustments.

Thats because you’ve never really seen many 165 pound players.  
 

In NFL history-  name some good players that weighed 165 pounds

Save the flaming please but Worthy just looks special. 
 

Beane needs to really reevaluate his willingness to give our biggest rival the player they wanted.
 

I know this has been hashed and re-hashed but it’s such a huge black eye for this organization.

What is the silver lining here? 

OMG Beane was such a jerk to pass on this guy what the heck was he thinking ?? I'm being a wise ass of course ...

Why bring up what CBs in a discussion of the two WRs taken between KC and Buff?  Just has the smell of haterade.

 

The OP started this thread when Worthy flashed early.  Many said to hold back because there was a concern on Worthy being physically suited for the NFL.  Those concerns seem real.

It depends upon the nature of the injury.   There's less correlation between size/weight and non-contact injuires or injuries caused by a player hitting the ground than between size/weight and injuries caused by collisions.

I know, Beane should be fired for drafting Worthy, oh wait…,

No offense but not a single thing you said here is true.

I think he will have a short career regarding productivity. 
 

His thing is speed and with his size, getting beat up with hard hits…that speed slows down.
