The Kansas City Chiefs got their guy on night one of the NFL draft, and even Texas wide receiver Xavier Worthy himself sounded like he had a hard time believing it after the selection was made.
“Knowing [being drafted by KC] was a possibility kept my hopes alive, and it happened,” Worthy told reporters after the pick was finalized. Explaining: “I’ve been calling it, been saying it since the beginning of [last season]. I’m going to the Chiefs. Everybody thought the NFL was never going to let the Chiefs get to me, but I’m here. I’m excited just to be able to play with Pat [Mahomes].”
The following morning on April 26, Worthy posted a video montage on Instagram that was captioned “one percent” (spelled: “1%”). The reel included the aforementioned Mahomes, as the footage cut from Worthy’s draft party to the Chiefs quarterback throwing a deep bomb to his new wide receiver — spliced together from two separate clips.
