The Kansas City Chiefs made sure to provide Patrick Mahomes with new weapons for the 2024 NFL season, and it seems to be paying off. In the first game of the year, Andy Reid‘s boys took down none other than Lamar Jackson’s Baltimore Ravens.

One of the keys to that victory was rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy, for whom the Chiefs traded up in the 2024 NFL Draft. Speaking to the media on Monday, Reid shared his thoughts on Worthy’s debut alongside Mahomes after analyzing film.
“I think they definitely honored his speed for sure with how they played when he was in,” Reid said, via Arrowhead Pride. “I think he showed that he can probably go down the field when needed. He can also — and I know it was a busted coverage — but he can do that.“

Worthy sent the NFL community into a frenzy Thursday night, scoring two touchdowns in just three touches against the Ravens. And Reid warned the rest of the NFL about how dangerous the Chiefs’ new weapon can be.

“He does have speed and some versatility going across the middle; he had a nice grab across the middle. I think teams that we play will see that, and if they didn’t know it before, they know it now,” Reid said.
