Patrick Mahomes and Xavier Worthy make a deep touchdown

Worthy, a 6-foot-1 speed demon from California, broke the 40-yard dash record at the NFL Scouting Combine with a time of 4.21. The record was set in 2017 by Washington’s John Ross, who broke the previous record held by Chris Johnson with a time of 4.22.

His blazing speed, paired with some stellar college numbers, helped the Longhorns wideout earn a first-round draft selection out of Kansas City with the 28th overall pick. As a junior in 2023, Worthy hauled in 75 grabs for 1,014 yards and five touchdowns.

Worthy joins an impressive group of Big 12 athletes in Kansas City, including household names such as Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Marquise Brown, Creed Humphrey, Kingsley Suamataia, Felix Anudike-Uzomah and many more.
