Worthington: "I get after the QB fast and I'm real strong. I hustle well and run after the ball well. I'll hawk it down wherever it is. I could play all day. I'd like to improve my speed because that's what you need even more than strength. I also have bad eyes and I'm gonna wear contacts this season, so hopefully that will help."
