There are big hopes for Kansas City Chiefs receiver Xavier Worthy this season.<\/div>\n

The\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs<\/a>‘ offense last season left a lot to be desired, and that is an odd take considering the team was 15-2 in the regular season.<\/p>\n

However, it was anything but easy, as the unit averaged just 22.6 points per game, partly due to injuries to Rashee Rice and Marquise Brown. Nevertheless, this meant others could step up.<\/p>\n

And one that did eventually was rookie\u00a0Xavier Worthy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A slow burn initially, Worthy then exploded in the second half of the year to be one of Mahomes’ go-to guys. And due to his growth, Bleacher Report names Xavier as one of the most underrated receivers in football.<\/p>\n

“During Day 1 of the 2024 draft, the Kansas City Chiefs pulled off one of the event\u2019s shrewdest maneuvers by trading up to No. 28 to secure speedster Xavier Worthy,”\u00a0Bleacher Report writes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Given that fantastic end-of-season run and subsequent playoff showing\u2014Worthy was one of the Chiefs\u2019 best players during their run to the\u00a0Super Bowl<\/a>, catching 19 of his 21 targets for 287 yards and three scores in three postseason contests\u2014it would be surprising if Worthy doesn\u2019t go ballistic during his upcoming sophomore season.”<\/p>\n

\"Kansas<\/p>\n

Worthy struggled early, posting just more than 37 yards in a game twice in the opening nine outings. But he finished strongly, with at least 40 yards in his last seven games, plus three touchdowns.<\/p>\n

Xavier continued his good form in the playoffs, as he saw totals of 45 and 85 yards, and then a monster 157-yard, two-touchdown game in the Super Bowl loss. That’ll do.<\/p>\n

Now entering his second year, Worthy will have Rice and Brown back to full health (we hope), and that is quite the trio for Mahomes to work with.<\/p>\n

Is Worthy underrated? That is subjective.<\/p>\n

But if he continues his ascension in 2025, he won’t be seen as overrated for much longer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
