No. 4: Xavier Worthy, Kansas City Chiefs
During Day 1 of the 2024 draft, the Kansas City Chiefs pulled off one of the event’s shrewdest maneuvers by trading up to No. 28 to secure speedster Xavier Worthy. By trading with the Buffalo Bills for that draft slot, the back-to-back Super Bowl champions not only added a much-needed burner to their receiver room, but also denied their biggest in-conference threat a chance to land the talented Texas product.
The move began paying dividends quickly during a season in which top wideouts Rashee Rice and Marquise Brown both missed large swathes of time with injury. While Worthy took some time to get adjusted to the professional game, he finished his notable rookie campaign by playing in all 17 games and putting up 638 yards and a team-high six touchdowns on 59 catches.
Worthy’s numbers could have been far more impressive had he seen a larger workload early in the year. The dynamic wideout only saw 75 percent or more of Kansas City’s offensive snaps once between Weeks 1-13 before going on to average an 82.1 snap share in the team’s last four meaningful contests in Weeks 14-17.
Worthy’s production rose with his increase in playing time. During that four-game stretch to close out the year, the blazing-fast receiver caught 26 balls for 231 yards and two scores. Extrapolated across an entire 17-game season, that production would have resulted in 111 receptions for 982 yards and nine touchdowns.
Given that fantastic end-of-season run and subsequent playoff showing—Worthy was one of the Chiefs’ best players during their run to the Super Bowl, catching 19 of his 21 targets for 287 yards and three scores in three postseason contests—it would be surprising if Worthy doesn’t go ballistic during his upcoming sophomore season.
