Tyreek Hill Shocked by Xavier Worthy’s First Chiefs TD
By Jovan Alford
The Kansas City Chiefs didn’t waste any time getting rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy acclimated to NFL regular season football.
On their first offensive drive of the 2024 season, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid dialed up a wide receiver reserve inside the red zone for the rookie wideout, who took it 21 yards for a rushing touchdown.

Worthy’s speed was on full display in primetime, which dazzled fans and scouts at the NFL Scouting Combine earlier this season. The rookie wide receiver’s speedy score caught the attention of former Chiefs and current Miami Dolphins star Tyreek Hill.
Hill took to Twitter/X after Worthy’s first NFL touchdown and posted, “That boy rolling omg.”

The former Chiefs receiver knows something about speed as he’s one of the fastest players in the NFL. Hill electrified fans in Kansas City with his game-breaking speed for several years, leading to big plays in the passing game.
That said, Chiefs fans hope Worthy can follow in the footsteps of Hill and become that deep threat to help Kansas City’s offense go to the next season.
In his last year at the University of Texas, the 5-foot-11 wide receiver had 75 receptions for 1,014 yards and five touchdowns. Over his three-year career with the Longhorns, Worthy averaged 14 yards per reception.
If Worthy can replicate that in his rookie season, Chiefs fans and superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes will be happy. Nonetheless, you could not ask for a better start if you are Worthy.
