Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill knows speed and explosiveness when he sees it, and couldn’t help but rave about Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy’s first career touchdown in the opener against the Baltimore Ravens.
Worthy, who ran the 40-yard dash in a blazing 4.21 seconds during the NFL Combine before being chosen by the Chiefs in the first round of this year’s draft, turned on the afterburners while slicing through the Ravens’ defense for a 21-yard touchdown.
After Worthy sprinted nearly untouched through the heart of the Ravens’ defense, Hill posted “That Boy Rolling OMG” on X (formerly known as Twitter).
Hill spent the first six seasons of his career in a Kansas City Chiefs uniform, where he built a reputation as one of the most explosive and dynamic playmakers in the sport, so Hill has some credibility when it comes to judging speed.
Last season, his second with the Miami Dolphins, Hill led the league in receiving yards with 1,799.
Worthy’s arrival in a revamped Chiefs receiving corps, one year removed from Kansas City’s wide receivers leading the league in dropped passes, gives this group the potential to surpass Hill’s era as the most explosive collection of skill players Mahomes has had at his disposal so far in his career.
