In round one of the 2024 NFL Draft, the Chiefs moved into the No. 28 spot via the Buffalo Bills to select Xavier Worthy. The Texas product turned heads at the NFL Combine when he ran a 40-yard dash time of 4.21 seconds, breaking the record that John Ross set seven years earlier (4.22 seconds).
In an Instagram live video, Worthy revealed that he treated himself to a tattoo of the Kansas City Chiefs logo on his arm:
It’s a beautiful tattoo, but there is obviously a risk. If Worthy doesn’t pan out in Kansas City, the tattoo will be for naught, and he’ll have to get it removed.
Worthy was widely regarded as a boom-or-bust prospect heading into the 2024 NFL Draft. On one hand, he has the game-changing speed and quickness off the line of scrimmage to become a superstar in this league.
But scouts are also skeptical about Worthy producing at the NFL level because of his smaller frame (listed at 5-foot-11 and 165 pounds). As such, there are questions about Worthy’s ability to win contested catches against bigger defensive backs.
If there’s one team that can maximize Worthy’s potential, however, it’s the defending Super Bowl champions with the league’s best head coach and quarterback.
Xavier Worthy Is Work The Risk For Kansas City
Coming off a second straight Super Bowl championship, the Chiefs knew that wide receiver had to be addressed this offseason. Due to his legal situation, Rashee Rice faces an uncertain future, and the team parted ways with Marques Valdes-Scantling and Mecole Hardman.
KC signed Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown to a one-year deal in a savvy move, giving Patrick Mahomes another potential 1,000-yard playmaker.
Kansas City’s WR depth chart is thin beyond Brown and Rice, so it made perfect sense to trade up and get Worthy. If he pans out, KC will have a prolific No. 1 wide receiver on a cheap rookie contract for the next four-to-five years.
