KANSAS CITY, Mo. — June 13, 2025
Rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy of the Kansas City Chiefs shared his admiration for Patrick Mahomes’ work ethic, according to ESPN sources. The first-year player was struck by his quarterback’s commitment during his debut season in Kansas City.
Worthy remarked, “Mahomes is always the first one at GEHA Field. Workouts kick off at 9 a.m., and I’d roll in at 8—only to find him already there. One morning, I arrived at 7:30, and he was still at it. So, I decided to beat him and showed up at 6—guess who was already grinding? Mahomes.” The 2024 first-round pick, selected 28th overall, recorded 42 receptions for 558 yards in his rookie campaign. A team source credits Mahomes’ leadership for Worthy’s development.
The three-time Super Bowl MVP guided the Chiefs to Super Bowl LIX, where they fell 40-22 to Philadelphia. Worthy highlighted Mahomes’ tireless preparation as a key influence, as noted in a recent interview. Chiefs Kingdom lit up X with excitement. “Mahomes’ work ethic is insane!” posted @ChiefsFanatic. Meanwhile, @KCGridiron cheered Worthy: “He’s soaking up wisdom from the best. Future star!”
Worthy’s blazing 4.21-second 40-yard dash speed complemented Mahomes’ powerful arm in 2024. Their budding chemistry suggests a potent Chiefs offense for 2025. Despite a drop in Travis Kelce’s output, Mahomes still threw for 4,159 yards last season. Worthy’s praise reflects the quarterback’s determination to target Super Bowl LX.
With minicamp on the horizon, Worthy is set to mirror Mahomes’ relentless approach. Chiefs fans eagerly anticipate the next chapter. Keep up with ESPN for the latest on Kansas City’s standout players.
