With the 2024 NFL Draft now behind us, the rookies who were selected in last month’s event are starting to get acclimated to their new teams and meet their new teammates and coaches. This year’s No. 28 overall pick, Texas wide receiver Xavier Worthy , is already appreciating being teammates with one of, if not the best, quarterbacks of this generation.
Three-time Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes was not at rookie minicamp over the weekend, but that does not mean he isn’t already connecting to his new receiver.
Worthy says he has already spoken to Mahomes, saying (via Arrowhead Pride ), “I talked to him — connected with him a little bit. He was excited about me coming into the camp.”
The pass catcher added that Mahomes seems excited about having him on the team, making Worthy believe he’ll be able to make a difference on the offense this season.
“It’s amazing just to be able to have that quarterback that wants you,” Worthy said. “That means they’re obviously going to try to find a way to get you the ball and make you a part of the offense.”
