They say speed kills in football, and Xavier Worthy from Texas is as fast as they come. The Kansas City Chiefs moved up to get Worthy at 28th overall after a draft night trade with the Buffalo Bills. With an NFL Combine record 4.21 second 40-time, Worthy and his blazing speed will add yet another dynamic to the reigning Super Bowl Champions.

Immediately impactful as a freshman in 2021, Worthy has consistently produced in college at an elite level. Worthy averaged 918 yards, 65.6 catches, and 8.6 TDs over three collegiate years. Besides his speed, Worthy possesses quick twitch ability, good route-running, and excellent ball tracking skills at full speed. His most notable weakness is his frame (165 lbs), affecting his ability to win contested catches and succeed against press coverage.

Ever since losing Tyreek Hill, the Chiefs have lacked the elite speed element that was so instrumental to their success between 2017-2021. Xavier Worthy will bring that explosiveness back by joining the newly signed Hollywood Brown and future Hall of Fame TE, Travis Kelce, as the primary weapons for Patrick Mahomes. Remember that one of Andy Reid’s favorites was DeSean Jackson in his Eagles tenure. Worthy could be a similar boom-bust player, with the potential to bring game-breaking stats to fantasy matchups, especially in best ball.
