NFL's Xavier Worthy Post Goes Viral After Rookie Scores First TD with Chiefs

Xavier Worthy did not need long to make an impression. The speedy Kansas City Chiefs rookie took his first NFL touch 21 yards to the house in the first quarter.

Worthy took a pitch from Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes on an end around and went nearly straight up the field, making the Ravens defenders look like they were standing still.

The NFL celebrated Worthy's highlight reel run on social media with a photo alluding to his blazing speed.

"Clearest photo we could get of that Xavier Worthy TD," the NFL account posted, along with a blurry photo of the Chiefs wide receiver.

"HES ALREADY THE FASTEST MAN IN THE LEAGUE," one fan replied .

Another fan said: "The definition of blazing speed ."

Worthy has otherworldly speed. At the NFL combine, the Texas product ran a 4.21 40-yard dash , setting the record. The Chiefs have a plan to harness his speed.

"Once you hit him over the top with that speed it helps open up the whole entire football field,'' Mahomes said recently. "It's going to help everyone in the entire offense having him, having (Marquise Brown), having Rashee (Rice) being able to break loose. It opens up the entire offense, which is something that I think will be big for us this year."

The knock on Worthy coming out of the draft was his slight frame. He's just 5-foot-11 and 165 pounds. But it will be less of an issue if no one can catch him.
