Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy just got the worst welcome to his new career.

Worthy had his car stolen Wednesday night.

Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio revealed that the Kansas City Chiefs confirmed it was stolen from Worthy’s apartment complex overnight.

There was no carjacking, and no one was hurt, according to Florio. He mentioned that one source believes it was carried out by a bunch of professional criminals who “knew exactly what they were doing.”

No one was injured during the theft. “The car was simply stolen,” Florio wrote.

 

Kansas City selected Worthy in the first round — 28th overall — in April’s Draft.

Despite his size and historical data showing that there are very few players who were the same size as him and had long, successful careers in the NFL, Xavier Worthy believes he has what it takes to be an outlier.

“I weighed in at 169 [pounds],” Worthy said during his press conference at rookie minicamp on May 4. “I don’t think I took big hits, I delivered them. I feel like it’s not going to be a problem. I feel like just understanding your strengths and your weaknesses, I feel like that’s the big thing in the league. Don’t, obviously, don’t try to go hit a 250-pound linebacker. Just understanding your strengths, like I said. D-Jack (DeSean Jackson) came into the league at 169 and understood his strengths, so just using your strengths to your strength.”

During his final season at Texas, Worthy recorded 75 receptions, 1,014 yards, and five touchdowns, according to Sports Reference.

NFL Fans Are Already Calling Rookie WR Xavier Worthy A “Bust” After Cameras Caught His Embarrassing Blunder During First Practice With The Chiefs

New Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy is already being called a “bust” on social media, having dropped his first catch in team practice.

The reigning Super Bowl champions began their rookie minicamp this weekend, giving fans an early look at their intriguing first-round pick.

The Chiefs traded up to pick Worthy at No. 28 overall last month after he put his electric pace on display at the NFL Scouting Combine. He joins a team with three-peat ambitions and will have a lot of pressure on his shoulders.

However, he will also be playing alongside the best quarterback in the game in Patrick Mahomes, while he will be coached by Andy Reid, who’s not too shabby either.

Still, Worthy didn’t get off to the greatest start in practice, and social media is crushing him for it.

Fox’s PJ Green posted videos of Worthy and Louis Rees-Zammit being put through their paces on Saturday. You can check them out right below:

 

Here’s how social media reacted:

The Chiefs Have High Hopes For Xavier Worthy

The Chiefs obviously feel very different about their new wideout.

“It’s a speed game and the more speed you have on the field, the harder it is for defenses to take away different elements of the game,” general manager Brett Veach said on the player’s potential after drafting him, per ESPN.

“Anytime you can add speed and add a guy with that type of versatility, I think you’re going to be interested. Just our ability to play vertical and have speed on the field at all times and having Xavier and Hollywood … I think as the season goes on here, I think we’ll have just an offense that can attack in multiple different ways and always keep defenses guessing.”

Xavier Worthy boasts remarkable speed, though his first minicamp rep didn’t go as planned, with a pass hitting right in the hands. Of course, it’s hardly a big deal, but fans on social media didn’t care.

The 21-year-old registered 75 receptions for 1,014 yards and five touchdowns in his final season with the Texas Longhorns. Chiefs fans will hope his rookie season puts his detractors to shame.
