With Xavier Worthy, the Kansas City Chiefs secured the fastest player in Combine history in the first round of the draft. And a light one at that. But he doesn’t see his weight as a problem

Xavier Worthy took 4.21 seconds to complete the 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine – no one has ever been faster.

It was probably this time that ultimately flushed the wide receiver into the first round of the draft. The Kansas City Chiefs then struck at position 28 and snapped up the speedster.

Although Worthy is as quick as an arrow, his weight could still be a problem. The former Texas Longhorns college player was weighed in at just 169 pounds, the equivalent of about 76.5 kilograms.

“I don’t think I’ve been taking big hits, I’ve been spreading them around. I feel like that’s not going to be a problem. I feel like understanding your strengths and weaknesses is the most important thing in the league,” Worthy is quoted as saying by “Sports Illustrated. “

NFL: Chiefs HC Andy Reid sees parallels to DeSean Jackson in Xavier Worthy

His new head coach Andy Reid has already compared Worthy to former NFL star DeSean Jackson, whom he once coached with the Philadelphia Eagles and who made it to the Pro Bowl three times.

“D-Jack came into the league at 169 (pounds) and understood his strengths, so just make your strengths your strengths,” Worthy himself also drew the comparison to the longtime star receiver.
