Xavier Worthy

Speaking of finishing strong, Xavier Worthy did exactly that with 243 yards and three touchdowns in the AFC Championship Game and Super Bowl for the Chiefs.

The 22-year-old is one of the fastest players in the sport, and there’s a clear path for him to become Patrick Mahomes’ No. 1 target in the Kansas City offense considering there is no established top dog and Travis Kelce is fading.

4 NFL coaches on the hot seat in 2025 you might not expect | SB Nation

Mike McDaniel, Miami Dolphins

It wasn’t long ago that McDaniel was considered one of the great young offensive minds in the game. He is clearly a strong offensive coach and he is a bright personality, but there have been some questions of leadership in Miami and that’s on the head coach. If the Dolphins flounder this season, McDaniel may be shown the door. And the Dolphins just might flounder.
