The Kansas City Chiefs signed some good players in free agency, and with most notable players already signed, it’s officially mock draft season. The Chiefs are going for the first three-peat in NFL history, and they made some encouraging moves to bring home a title in 2024. The team brought back defensive tackle Chris Jones<\/a> and signed Marquise Brown to a team-friendly one-year deal<\/a>. Their biggest loss was in the secondary, as Kansas City traded L’Jarius Sneed for a minimal return.<\/p>\n

With Sneed gone, cornerback is probably the biggest need on the roster. Trent McDuffie is fantastic, but the Chiefs could use another defensive back. However, drafting for need is a dangerous game, and sometimes the best defense is a good offense. In Chad Reuter’s latest mock draft<\/a>, the Chiefs trade up with the Los Angeles Rams to select Texas wide receiver Xavier Worthy.<\/p>\n

Chiefs Trade Up For Xavier Worthy In Latest Mock Draft<\/h2>\n

Xavier Worthy the Prospect<\/h3>\n

At the end of the day, the draft is all about adding talented players, and Xavier Worthy is a talented player. The first thing that jumps off the page with Worthy is his game-breaking speed. The Texas product set the record for the fastest 40-yard dash in NFL history, which shows that he has the potential to take it to the house every time he touches the ball.<\/p>\n

John Ross previously held the record for the fastest 40-yard dash in NFL history, and the wide receiver used that speed to become a top-10 selection. Ultimately, he didn’t work out, as the receiver wasn’t able to do anything other than run in a straight line. This shouldn’t be a concern with Worthy, as the film shows a well-rounded player who has the footwork and lateral agility to run routes at an above-average level.<\/p>\n

Xavier Worthy\u2019s testing is awesome.<\/p>\n

As we know, the film matters more. This is not just a track athlete. This is a football player and a playmaker. Some highlights here: pic.twitter.com\/0KPJaRMuXk<\/a><\/p>\n
