The Kansas City Chiefs, two-time reigning Super Bowl champions, faced a pressing issue at wide receiver that needed attention during the offseason. To address it, the team brought in veteran Marquise Brown and rookie Xavier Worthy.
However, Brown suffered a season-ending injury that required surgery, and fellow receiver Rashee Rice also went down, leaving the team in a difficult position. Despite this, Worthy has been a valuable addition with a bright future ahead

While Hopkins’ first game with Kansas City didn’t make much of an impact, his performance in the following game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was impressive, recording two receiving touchdowns in the Chiefs’ eighth consecutive victory.
With Hopkins now on the roster, Worthy is eager to learn from the seasoned veteran. “I try to pick his brain as much as possible without being super annoying,” Worthy shared, according to Charles Goldman of A to Z Sports.
Hopkins, who could be on track to revitalize his career with the Chiefs, serves as an ideal mentor for Worthy as the young receiver looks to establish himself in the NFL.
As the 2024 season progresses, quarterback Patrick Mahomes will rely heavily on Hopkins and Worthy to help spark the offense. With everything clicking, Kansas City appears poised for a strong finish and a potential deep playoff run, as they aim for an unprecedented third consecutive Super Bowl victory.
