Andy Reid explains the role Xavier Worthy will play for Mahomes’ Chiefs

The Kansas City Chiefs have selected Texas wide receiver Xavier Worthy in the 2024 NFL Draft after orchestrating a four-spot trade-up with the Buffalo Bills.

This strategic maneuver added a lightning-fast weapon to the arsenal of the reigning Super Bowl champions.

Head coach Andy Reid revealed that the Chiefs were wary of other teams swooping in to snatch Worthy, prompting their decisive action.

Worthy, who made waves as a freshman at Texas and has been on draft radars, was a player the Chiefs had earmarked early in the evaluation process.

Reid drew comparisons between Worthy’s physique and that of former Philadelphia Eagles receiver DeSean Jackson, who had flourished under Reid’s guidance in the past.

Despite Worthy’s slender 165-pound frame, the Chiefs expressed no reservations. They view his smaller stature as a non-issue, emphasizing his football intelligence and tenacity as compensatory strengths.
