Meet NFL’s Newest Star, the Fastest 40-Yard Dash Combine Record and Is Already Being Compared to Tyreek Hill
Discover the NFL's newest sensation, breaking records with lightning speed and drawing comparisons to Tyreek Hill.
Xavier Worthy's arrival at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, might not follow the usual path, but it's awe-inspiring. Even though he hasn't stepped foot on an NFL field yet, his gear from the legendary 2024 NFL Combine has already earned a spot in the Pro Football Today Gallery of the Hall of Fame.
Worthy's mind-blowing 4.21-second 40-yard dash broke all previous records, crowning him as the fastest participant ever documented in the event's history. The Kansas City Chiefs, Worthy's new team, are eagerly looking forward to utilizing his extraordinary speed to their advantage on the field.
Xavier Worthy Showcasing His Worth
With a player of his caliber, capable of tipping the scales with his remarkable swiftness, the Chiefs have a potent weapon in their arsenal. However, Worthy isn't content with being known solely for his remarkable 40-yard dash time. Despite the attention garnered by his speed, he is determined to make a significant impact in the NFL beyond his sprinting ability.
During his time at Texas, Worthy showcased his skills as a productive receiver, amassing over 1,000 yards in the previous season alone. In an interview with Yahoo Sports' Jori Epstein, Worthy expressed his desire to be recognized for more than just his impressive 40 times.
Worthy's commendable speed has drawn comparisons to Tyreek Hill, one of the league's most electrifying players. Like Hill, Worthy possesses the explosive acceleration and breakaway speed that can leave defenders in his wake and change the course of a game in an instant.
In the interview, he said, “I feel like before the combine, if I would have run something like a 4·3, they would have been like, ‘Oh, he’s a route runner’ — but now that I run a 4·2, it’s like, he’s just fast.” He also added, “My film’s there. I ran every route in the route tree. I got open on every route and was successful at every route.”
Sprinting His Way Towards Success
He emphasizes that his film speaks volumes about his versatility as a receiver, showcasing his ability to excel at running every route in the playbook and consistently getting open.
Worthy's dedication to proving himself as a multifaceted player highlights his determination to carve out a lasting legacy in the NFL.
