Breaking News: Kansas City Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy’s route-running evolution impacts offense…see more

The return of wide receiver Xavier Worthy to the Kansas city chiefs lineup continues to open up the offense.

The presence of the speedy wideout stretches beyond his quickness as he’s developed into an impactful route runner. “I think sometimes not just even him (Xavier Worthy) but some receivers, when they come out from college and into the pros, they kind of get a bad knock on them for being fast and thinking that they can only do one thing because they’re fast.”

said wide receivers coach Connor Embree during his most recent press conference, “But I said it earlier too, I thought he did a good job this offseason of developing and improving on areas me and him talked about going into the offseason. Everyone knows, and you can see it on tape, he’s not just a straight line. I’m just going to run track out here.

He’s a football player. It’s great having him.” The Chiefs’ offense has recently seen the return of Rashee Rice from suspension and the emergence of Hollywood Brown with consecutive touchdown games. Worthy remaining healthy is essential for the unit to continue its progress.

Worthy finished last Sunday’s game with three receptions for 35 yards and has accumulated 16 catches for 180 yards and a touchdown in his previous four games.
