The speediest athlete in Scouting Combine history expresses his desire to emulate Tyreek Hill’s success in Kansas City.
Texas wide receiver Xavier Worthy, who shattered Combine records with a 4.21-second 40-yard dash, revealed to USA Today his aspiration to fill Hill’s shoes in the Chiefs’ offense now that Hill has moved on to Miami.
“In an ideal scenario, I’d love to join the Chiefs,” Worthy stated. “The way Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs utilize their players, particularly Tyreek Hill, aligns perfectly with my skill set.”
While Hill may hold the title of the fastest player in the NFL, he never participated in the Combine due to off-field issues during college. Worthy, confident in his speed, acknowledges that he won’t be the fastest sprinter overall.
When asked about challenging Usain Bolt’s 4.22-second 40-yard dash record set at the NFL Experience event, Worthy humbly concedes, recognizing Bolt’s superior athleticism.
“I have immense respect for Bolt,” Worthy remarked. “His record was achieved under different circumstances. I wouldn’t dare compare myself to him.”
Although he may not surpass Bolt’s speed, Worthy’s exceptional pace could prove formidable against NFL defenders, potentially elevating the Chiefs’ offensive game.
