The Kansas City Chiefs got a speedy wide receiver in the first round of the NFL draft after taking Xavier Worthy, and one NFL executive believes his quickness is going to "light people up," per The Athletic's Mike Sando.

"Kansas City is going to light people up with that kid," the executive said of Worthy. "He's a little, fast guy, and you think he's a track guy, but he's tough, finishes runs, fast, disciplined. He has a nice all-around game."

Worthy caught the attention of many when he posted a record-breaking 4.22 second 40-yard dash time at the NFL combine. That quickness should fare well in an offense led by Patrick Mahomes.

Worthy's speed just added to an outstanding college resume. In his final season at Texas, he posted 1,014 receiving yards and notched five touchdowns, ending his career with 2,755 yards and 26 touchdowns.

Heading into the draft, Worthy was seen as the No. 50 overall prospect and the No. 9 wide receiver in the draft class by Bleacher Report's Scouting Department. Considering the talent of this year's receivers, Worthy's position was very solid.

Now, he'll join a Kansas City team that is fresh off a Super Bowl and looking to go for the three-peat in 2024. While the Chiefs managed to secure their third Super Bowl in the last five years in February, wide receiver struggles were evident throughout the year.

Worthy has the talent to help aid Kansas City in those struggles, and he could be what the Chiefs need to make history this season.
