Chiefs rookie Xavier Worthy DROPS easily caught in first practice as fans joke he’ll fit in perfectly after last season’s issues
Xavier Worthy had an inauspicious start to life with the Chiefs on Saturday as he dropped his first pass at rookie minicamp.
The former Texas player, who was selected No. 28 overall by Kansas City, took the practice field for the first time alongside other rookies and prospects on the roster.
And the session got off to a bad start for the 21-year-old speedster since video captured a bullet passing through his hands.
The clip caused several fans to joke that Worthy’fit in perfectly‘ in Kansas City, where the Chiefs’ receiving corps was extremely happy last season.
The eventual Super Bowl champions led the NFL with 44 drops last regular season.

However, one Chiefs fan preached patience with the youngster, writing on .
Worthy landed in Kansas City after impressing at Texas at the collegiate level, finishing his junior season with 1,014 receiving yards and five touchdowns.
He will join a group of passers led by Travis Kelce, Rashee Rice and new Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown.
However, Rice allegedly caused a car crash involving a half-dozen vehicles on a Dallas highway in March while driving 119 mph, and the Chiefs reportedly expect him to be suspended for at least the half of the season.
Worthy is interviewed by the media before the Chiefs rookie minicamp in Kansas City, Missouri.
Worthy was seen praising compatriot Louis Rees-Zammit during the training session.
Chiefs recruit Louis Rees-Zammit, who made a sensational switch from rugby to football in January, was also at training on Saturday.
After going through the international NFL player pathway, the Welshman was signed by the Chiefs in March and made his training debut alongside Worthy at the weekend.
The couple was seen exchanging greetings in a photo as they settled into life in Kansas City.
Rees-Zammit signed a three-year, $2.85 million deal with the Chiefs (with just $200,000 guaranteed) while Worthy signed a four-year, $13.8 million deal.
