Since coming into the NFL in 2016, Tyreek Hill has been one of the game’s best wide receivers.
He has become one of the game’s best with the help of his world-class speed, which has resulted in him earning the nickname “Cheetah.”
He won a Super Bowl championship with the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2019 season, and while they have won two more in the last two seasons without him, they have still needed a legitimate threat at WR.
In the first round of this year’s NFL Draft, they may have found such a player in Xavier Worthy, whom they selected at No. 28 after acquiring that pick from the Buffalo Bills.
Mike Greenberg loves the move for Kansas City and even called Worthy “Tyreek Hill 2.0,” per ESPN Radio.
Worthy set an NFL Scouting Combine record by running the 40-yard dash in 4.21 seconds, and at Texas, he caught 75 passes for 1,014 yards and five touchdowns last season.
There are concerns about his modest stature (he’s just 5-foot-11 and 165 pounds), but he’s considered an adept route-runner who can track down the ball well while it’s in the air.
Last season, Rashee Rice, who was a first-round pick in 2023, developed into the Chiefs’ main threat at wideout, recording 938 yards and seven touchdowns in the regular season and adding 262 yards in three playoff games.
But Rice is facing some serious legal charges connected to a car crash he was recently involved in, and there’s also no guarantee he will continue to develop and become a Pro Bowler.
The Bills, who have lost in the playoffs to the Chiefs three times in the last four seasons, may have handed the Chiefs a player who will take them from a borderline dynasty to a monstrous one.
