Xavier Worthy, a name that may have been unfamiliar to many just days ago, has now etched himself into the collective consciousness of football fans everywhere thanks to his lightning-fast sprint that shattered records at the NFL Scouting Combine.

Worthy’s meteoric rise to fame can be traced back to March 2nd, a day that will forever be marked in the NFL history books.

With a speed that seemed to defy the laws of physics, Worthy blazed through the 40-yard dash in a jaw-dropping 4.21 seconds, eclipsing the previous record set by John Ross.

As news of his record-breaking feat spread like wildfire, Worthy found himself inundated with messages of congratulations.

Yet, one text stood out among the rest-a message from none other than Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, Patrick Mahomes.

“Patrick Mahomes’s text meant so much to me,”Worthy revealed in a recent interview with Tyler Dragon of USA Today.

“Just the way Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs improvise and use you. They had Tyreek Hill. The way they used him, I feel like that would be a perfect fit for me.”

Is Xavier Worthy a first-round pick?

For Worthy, the prospect of joining forces with Mahomes and the Chiefs is nothing short of a dream come true.

He envisions himself as a perfect fit for the team, drawing parallels to the electrifying play of wide receiver Tyreek Hill.

With Hill’s blazing speed and Mahomes’s uncanny ability to improvise, Worthy sees the Chiefs as the ideal destination to showcase his talents on the grandest stage of them all-the NFL.

But Worthy’s journey to the pros hasn’t been without its challenges.

Despite his remarkable speed and undeniable skill on the field, questions linger about his size and consistency.

In 14 games at Texas during his senior season, Xavier Worthy totaled 75 receptions for 1,014 and five touchdowns.

At 160 pounds, Worthy is among the lighter receivers in the draft pool, and concerns about his durability have been raised by some analysts.

However, Worthy remains unfazed, confident that his speed will more than compensate for any perceived shortcomings.

As the NFL Draft looms on the horizon, speculation runs rampant about where Worthy will land.

With mock drafts projecting him as a late first-round or early second-round pick, the possibility of him donning the Chiefs’ iconic red and gold jersey grows ever closer to reality.
