I still can’t believe the rest of the NFL let Kansas City select Xavier Worthy.

It’s been a quarter of the NFL season… Xavier Worthy looks like Cheetah 2.0, and Chris Jones is still Chris Jones

The Chiefs selected Worthy with the 28th pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Kansas City received the pick in a trade with the Buffalo Bills, and the potential seemed solid based on his fit in the offense.

Hill has found significant success in this offense as another small but speedy receiver. Hill has a very high bar to meet, but Worthy’s primary focus will be improving a Kansas City receiving core that struggled in 2024.

He had 75 receptions for 1,014 yards and five touchdowns for Texas in 2023, and a similar performance for the Chiefs would go a long way toward helping them secure a third consecutive Super Bowl victory.
