The Kansas City Chiefs have concluded their offseason training activities and now set their sight for the mandatory minicamp scheduled for June 11.

Mandatory minicamp is the last milestone of the offseason training program which is the final assessment period before their deserved summer break.

The OTAs have been an excellent opportunity for the coaching staff to watch the veterans and rookies mix together on the football field.

For the Kansas City Chiefs’ rookies, this is a crucial time to deliver good impressions to the coaching staff and build early chemistry with their veteran play partners.

Xavier Worthy settles into his NFL career but has suffered an early setback

One of the most dynamic players of the 2024 NFL Draft was the ride receiver Xavier Worthy from the Texas Longhorns.

The 21-year-old clocked the NFL Combine history-making 4.21 40-yard dash time to turn heads in Indianapolis.

Worthy was on the radars of several teams, but the Chiefs swooped in to steal the receiver via a trade with the Buffalo Bills.

Moreover, it was revealed that the New England Patriots were on the phone with a trade offer for the Bills.

However, the Chiefs offered greater trade value meaning Worthy’s final destination was Missouri.

His highly anticipated NFL career has hit an early bump on the road as a tweaked hamstring in the first OTAs has forced him to man the sidelines.

Matt Nagy has been challenging Worthy despite his inactive situation

Nonetheless, the Chiefs have been testing him on the sidelines to understand schemes and what he would do in certain situations.

Matt Nagy has been vital in his OTA timetable but Worthy will be annoyed that he has not been able to participate.

Furthermore, Worthy hinted on the last day of the OTAs one player who has served as a mentor to him.

Worthy labels Marquise Brown as a mentor at the OTAs

Marquise Brown spoke to Kansas City reporter Harold R. Kuntz about how no one wants to race because of his speed.

Worthy called ‘cap’ on the statement and added: “It’s good to have somebody who’s been there done that. To have somebody that’s older and like a mentor to me.”

Marquise Brown is the speedster free agent who joined from the Arizona Cardinals and enjoyed three seasons with the Baltimore Ravens prior.

Unlike Worthy, the 27-year-old has been able to participate in the OTAs and has been developing his deep ball chemistry with Patrick Mahomes.

Moreover, the two-time MVP wants to throw deep in 2024 and knows the team is built to do so.

Brown and Worthy have similar player profiles and attributes, the pair will be vital to deep ball game in 2024.
