The Kansas City Chiefs rookie class, with its versatility and highly touted skillsets, should significantly contribute to the team’s progress this season.
The expectations are high for Chiefs first-round pick Xavier Worthy and his skillset fitting into the offense. He spoke with reporters on Wednesday about his hamstring injury and taking the time off the field to study the playbook.
“It’s very important to me. In college, I never missed a game or had any injuries,” said Worthy. “So just having that happen, I mean, like I said, it’s kind of frustrating, but I got a chance to learn and get better in a different way, learning the playbook. So, I mean, it was good for me.”
Worthy was a spectator during off-season minicamp activities due to the nagging injury, but he believes he’s good to go during training camp.
“I’m as good as I could be right now, obviously, still working my way back into things, but I’m here.” said Worthy, “I’m ready to work.”
Worthy also strongly indicated that he’d be healthy enough to play this week if there were a game.
