How Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy proved his explosiveness vs. Ravens

Earlier in the game, the speedy rookie had another score, on a 21-yard reverse. Per NFL Next Gen Stats, Worthy had a 5% chance to score at the time of handoff.

Worthy may be undersized at 5-foot-11 and just 165 pounds, but his lack of physicality will only matter a little if defenders can't catch him or get their hands on him.  

"Xavier coming out as a rookie and having a rushing touchdown and a receiving touchdown, that was beautiful," head coach Andy Reid said after the win.  

 Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was beyond pleased with Worthy's performance, too.

"He's so cool, calm and collected all the time," Mahomes said. "You never even see the excitement on him, but he goes out there and makes plays. Obviously, we want to continue to use him more and more, but I thought he had a great day today, making big plays and big moments."

While this is just the beginning of Worthy's NFL career, he's off to about as good a start as possible. 

"He can run and he's got good hands. Smart kid," Reid said. "He'll keep growing as we go. He's a competitive little guy, man."

Worthy's as electric of a playmaker the Chiefs have had since they traded Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins two years ago. If Worthy winds up being even close to Hill's caliber of player, the Chiefs could be destined to win their third consecutive Super Bowl.
