Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy spoke with reporters on Thursday at mandatory minicamp. He shared his improvements in strength training during the offseason.
“Obviously, with the shoulder injury, I had that surgery in January, so really, it was just building on, getting stronger and getting that back in the flow,” said Worthy, “I feel like that’s overall been – I forgot who I told, that might have been the best thing for me. Learning how to be a pro and learning how to approach, obviously, the mental aspect, and getting your body prepared for certain things, so I feel like I kind of hit that hard this offseason.”
A healthy 2026 season will change the complexion of the offense as the Chiefs will rely on the former first-round draft pick to help return to the top of the league. Worthy details what he’s been learning throughout the course of the offseason to become a better receiver.
“Learning the area of the zones, where I can sit, obviously, learning coverages (and) what Pat (Patrick Mahomes) likes. He just did 7-on-7, so we kind of did that a little bit together,” said Worthy, “Obviously want to come back and get more throws with him, but just learning the game. Like Trav (Travis Kelce) talks about all the time, getting friendly in zone and knowing when to run out in man, so just learning those little aspects of the game.”
Worthy finished the 2025 season with 42 receptions for 532 yards and a touchdown. He also had 11 rushes for 87 yards in 14 games played.
