Xavier Worthy is fast — and could be taken off the NFL draft board in the same fashion.
The Texas Longhorns wide receiver was a three-time All-Big 12 performer and impressed the football world with a record-setting performance at the NFL Scouting Combine earlier this month, breaking the 40-yard dash record.
FOX Sports NFL Draft analyst Rob Rang has Worthy ranked 50 on his Top 100 Big Board, which would grade him as the ninth-best receiver in a loaded WR draft class.
“In precisely 4.21 seconds, Worthy earned every scout’s attention by proving himself as the fastest man in NFL Combine history,” Rang said about Worthy.
Worthy played in 39 games for the Longhorns from 2021-24. He caught 197 passes for 2,755 yards (14 yards per catch) and 26 touchdowns. He also returned 23 punts last season for 371 yards (16.1 yards per return) with a touchdown.
Let’s take a look at the odds for which team will select Worthy at FanDuel Sportsbook.

“In a perfect world, I definitely want to go to the Chiefs,” Worthy said, per USA Today. “Just the way Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs improvise and use you. They had Tyreek Hill. The way they used him, I feel that would be a perfect fit for me.”
