Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy is entering his second season in the NFL. One “major” development could signal that a big season is coming for the former Texas Longhorns star. That development is his chemistry with Chiefs quarterback and two-time MVP Patrick Mahomes.

Worthy explained the improved connection during an appearance at a charity event.

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy Looking to Build on Strong Finish to Rookie Season

“Just growing that chemistry with Pat early on. Not having to get real game experience, and now I have that game experience.” Worthy told reporters on June 14. “Just being able to have that is major.”

Worthy caught 59 passes for 638 yards and 6 touchdowns.

His campaign ranks fourth in catches, fifth in yards, and tied for third in touchdowns among rookie receivers in Chiefs franchise history, per Stathead.

Worthy’s comments come on the heels of recent remarks to Chiefs beat reporters about his level of comfort in the offense entering his second season.

The Chiefs selected Worthy with the No. 28 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

“The end of last year was kind of like a stepping stone for me,” Worthy told media members in May. “Just learning and kind of getting a better feel for what Pat likes. And I started feeling like that got better at the end of the year. So, just continue that and use that momentum.

“I understand the offense, I feel way more comfortable just being out there, I understand it. I don’t have to really think a lot, I just be on the fly.”
