This week, KC Chiefs rookie WR Xavier Worthy opened up about how he can best find success on offense and why he's excited about potentially returning punts.
' opening preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, their starters didn't log a ton of snaps on either side of the ball. Offensively, everyone from Patrick Mahomes down to his offensive line got just one series of work before heading to the sideline for the evening.
"It's huge," Worthy said. "Obviously in college, I kind of had the freedom to get the ball anywhere on the field – reverses, bubbles, deep passes, intermediate. So just being able to have that here being able to get the ball in my hands, I feel like I'll be a threat with the ball in my hands." Special teams is something Worthy can absolutely factor into as a rookie. In recent seasons, the Chiefs have experimented with other wideouts like Skyy Moore, Mecole Hardman and Kadarius Toney in the role. While Moore is capable, Hardman is more experienced and Toney has a big-time return in the Super Bowl on his resume, none of the three are sure-fire picks. Worthy's name should be considered as much as anyone else's.
