Those comparisons at same age are super impressive, but keep in mind it is very rare for a player to be given so much responsibility after so few games, and that is partly driving his insane numbers compared to some very impressive peers. If Mitchell was playing, or Worpel was on a team with a deeper midfield, the comparisons probably wouldn't be quite as flattering as it is unlikely we'd have put this much load on his shoulders this early.
Having said that, the fact that he's been asked to partly cover for Mitchell and take on massive responsibility compared to his experience levels and is performing as well as he is, is super exciting.
