Xavier Worthy’s professional football journey began on April 25, 2024 — Day 1 of the NFL Draft — with one of the Kansas City Chiefs’ premier rivals, the Buffalo Bills, on the clock at No. 28 overall.
Buffalo opted not to make a selection. Instead, to the surprise of many, the team traded the pick to the Chiefs so it could move up from the fourth round to the third round later in the weekend.
Kansas City general manager Brett Veach called Worthy, who was surrounded by his mother, family and close friends.
