Chiefs’ rookie mentioned twice in ESPN’s ‘instant-impact picks’

NFL speculation season — that part of the calendar between the draft and training camp — is in full swing.

And with that in mind, a panel of ESPN experts recently compiled some takes on which teams’ picks may make the fastest impact. The Kansas City Chiefs’ top pick, wide receiver Xavier Worthy, was mentioned twice.
