We're Not Worthy
At the conclusion of every NFL combine there is always one player that everyone is talking about because of some impressive feat they accomplished. This year is no different as the NFL media machine is still buzzing about Texas wide receiver Xavier Worthy after he broke the NFL Combine 40 yard dash record with a 4.21 second time. Incredibly fast.
Due to his blazing speed, he is moving up everyone's draft boards. Originally slotted to go in the mid 60's he is now projected to go in the late first round. Good for him but is he now getting overrated due to one event? Only time will tell, but I reviewed the last 10 names to break the 40 yard dash record and their wasn't a top 100 player among them. A few guys that had decent NFL careers but most never amounted to anything.
It remains to be seen if we are or are not worthy of Xavier's greatness. Some team is likely to take him in the first round and we know one thing- he is going to run very fast for them.
Personally, I would rather the 49ers stick to the script and draft for positions of need like OT or DE in the first round but others may prefer going for the big splash, high upside skilled position player.
Are you guys buying Worthy's stock or selling short?
Sats for all,
