Speaking to the media on Thursday night, KC Chiefs head coach Andy Reid addressed the team selecting Xavier Worthy in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft.
As expected, it took a bit of patience, but the Kansas City Chiefs made a first-round selection on night one of the 2024 NFL Draft.
Following the Worthy selection, Reid spoke to the media and shared some initial thoughts on his newest pass catcher. Worthy, who burst onto the scene as a freshman at Texas and has been a draft prospect ever since, was someone the Chiefs"marked" earlier in the process. Reid compares his body type to former Philadelphia Eagles receiver DeSean Jackson, who had plenty of success for Reid in the past.
"He's not a big kid, at least, weight-wise," Reid said."He's got good height, he's just not very heavy. But I think you'll see this toughness that he's got, which jumped out at me. And then when you talk to their coach, Coach Sarkisian and I are close. He kept talking about how smart he was, he's got great football instincts, and he's a tremendous worker. In this offense, you've got to be able to do that and have those characteristics.
