Worthy was on the practice field for the Chiefs rookie minicamp, but he missed a significant portion of the offseason program as he …………… a sore hamstring.
Patrick Mahomes says ‘there’s no easing’ in period for rookie Xavier Worthy: ‘Going to have to be ready to go’
One of the Kansas City Chiefs goals this offseason was to bolster its wide receiving corps.
The team added some considerable speed to the receiver room in April when they selected former Texas Longhorns standout Xavier Worthy in the first round.
Shortly after he was drafted, three-time Super Bowl champion Patrick Mahomes posted a couple of emojis to social media to hint at his excitement about having Worthy on the roster. As training camp draws near, Mahomes warned that Worthy will not have the benefit of any type of grace period.
Mahomes credited Worthy for doing some considerable “mental work,” but also acknowledged that it was now time for him to shine on the football field.
“He got a lot of mental work in these last few weeks that he had during OTAs and minicamp, but it’s time to go now.”
The two-time NFL MVP pointed to the success embattled wide receiver Rashee Rice had last year and said his Chiefs teammates need to anticipate being pushed “to the limit” as regular season preparations ramp up.
“Y’all saw it with Rashee [Rice] last year and some of the throwing-up days he had. We’re going to push you to the limit and prepare yourself to be ready to go for the season. That’s not just him. That’s everybody and everybody has to have that mentality when they come into camp.”
Rice surrendered to authorities in April for his role in a car crash that involved multiple vehicles. He was later released on bond.
In May, police opened an investigation into Rice’s alleged role in the striking of a photographer at a nightclub, WFAA reported at the time.
Rice finished his rookie season with 938 receiving yards and seven touchdowns. The NFL has yet to reveal whether Rice will face any disciplinary action. If Rice does end up missing time during the upcoming season, it could open the door for a larger role for Worthy during his rookie year.
