Chiefs’ Xavier Worthy says he’s not concerned about lower playing weight. Here’s why

Kansas City Chiefs receiver Xavier Worthy reported Saturday that he weighed 169, up four pounds from the NFL Combine two months ago.

The first-round rookie said he’d ideally get into the 170-to-175-pound range for games, before explaining why he doesn’t think that lower-than-average number will be an issue.

“I don’t think I took big hits; I delivered them,” Worthy said with a smile, referring to his college days. “But I feel like it is not going to be a problem.”

“I feel like just understanding your strengths and weaknesses, I feel that’s the big thing in the league,” “Worthy said. “Don’t obviously try go hit a 215-pound linebacker. So just understanding your way.” Worthy likely didn’t make the first impression he wanted during Saturday’s two-hour practice at the Chiefs facility.
