Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy Will Be a Bust
Many football fans were left shocked and scratching their heads when the Buffalo Bills traded down in the first round of the NFL Draft, with their rival the Chiefs of all teams. Chiefs fans rejoiced when this trade went down as the team was finally able to use first round draft capital on an elite receiving talent, and with Xavier Worthy’s record breaking 4.21 second 40-yard dash at the Draft Combine, on paper it seemed like a match made in heaven. Fans are hoping that Worthy will finally be the worthy successor to Tyreek Hill. After a handful of draft busts and arrests that promising receiver Rashee Rice has faced this offseason, Worthy has a prime opportunity to run away with the number one receiving role in Kansas City. However, I personally think that Xavier Worthy is not going to be the answer for the Chiefs receiving woes, and that he will be the next in line of first round receiving draft busts.
