Chiefs’ Target Xavier Worthy’s Heartwarming Gesture Brings Joy to 8YO Longhorns Fan Ahead of Bears’ Top 30 Visit

Xavier Worthy is entering the 2024 NFL Draft as the projected No. 7 WR, according to James Foster’s latest Big Board Ranking. He joined the Texas Longhorns as a WR in 2021 and immediately began playing. In his freshman season, he broke the program’s record with 981 yards and 12 receiving TDs, leading him to earn the prestigious title of true-freshman All-American by multiple sports outlets. 

In early January, Worthy declared his decision to forgo his senior year and enter the 2024 NFL Draft, after which he broke the 40-yard dash record at the NFL Combine with an impressive speed of 4.21. This raised his draft stock, with ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. revealing that the Kansas City Chiefs might try to trade up in the upcoming draft to select him. Kiper further said, “Can you imagine if Xavier Worthy were there? With 4.21 speed?” According to Bleacher Report’s NFL Scouting Department Hub, Worthy is a favorite to land with the Chiefs as the No. 32 pick. 

Xavier Worthy shows his charisma as a role model for the younger generation 

Before Draft Day kicks off on April 25, he’s spreading love and acting as the perfect role model for his fans, this time an 8-year-old boy in particular. In a recent Instagram upload by the boy’s mother, Worthy was set on a pedestal as he took the time to grace the birthday of Brayden, who regards him as his super-star hero. According to the caption, “Brayden is a massive @worthyyy fan. He is obsessed with @texasfootball and hopes to play for them one day.”

The 20-year-old Texas standout met the young football aspirant and brightened his day by signing Brayden’s jersey and presenting him with a backpack filled with several personal items. This rich and heartwarming act earned him “lifelong Worthy fans” from the young boy’s family. All this hype shines more spotlight on him as he gets ready to meet with the Chicago Bears for his Top 30 visit.
