The Chiefs got ‘their guy,’ Xavier Worthy, on Thursday night

After getting shut out of selecting a wide receiver in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs were intentional on Thursday night, trading with the Buffalo Bills to move up and grab their guy.

That was Texas wide receiver Xavier Worthy, whom the Chiefs selected with the 28th overall pick. The first thing that stands out about the 5-foot-11, 165-pounder is his blazing speed.

With his 4.21 40-yard dash at the Scouting Combine, Worthy set the NFL record for the fastest time ever. But his downfield ability is not the only thing that caught Kansas City’s eye.
