Despite having his car stolen just two weeks ago, Chiefs rookie Xavier Worthy doesn’t seem too much worried about flexing his riches. Earlier today, the star wideout was seen raining $1 bills on his girlfriend Tia Jones in a TikTok video — shot in their bathroom. However, the short clip has since gone viral for all the wrong reasons, with the aspiring NFL star facing the wrath of football fans.

In the TikTok video, the couple can first be seen flexing their diamond watches and chunky jewelry before Tia starts twerking. It is at this moment when the Chiefs’ rookie receiver pulls out a bundle of $1 bills and starts raining it on his girlfriend. The video, posted by Tia, then cuts to Worthy, cheekily flexing the bundle.

Posting a video like this is an open invitation for trolls in 9 out of 10 cases. This was no different for Xavier, as NFL fans promptly flocked to the comments to share their two cents, making it a trending discourse today.
The first and foremost reaction that a lot of netizens had was bafflement at seeing the NFL player flex $1 bills. This aspect of the video became the major trolling point with one “X” user quipping that the bundle in the video is worth “2 bags of groceries.”
That’s like 2 bags of groceries. pic.twitter.com/IWwntDU6Vl

Wow look at all those $1 bills. What a baller.

While the majority focused on poking fun at the rookie receiver, others expressed concern. They hoped that Xavier wouldn’t turn this silly video into a habit and instead save up money. After all, an athlete’s career is extremely volatile and short-lived.
He should spend some money on Netflix and watch “Broke”

Jesus man… headed for a disaster with that mind frame. Enjoy life but this is all nonsense and invites really bad things into your life.

That being said, Xavier should be cut some slack, at least for the $1 trolls. Because at the end of the day, Xavier still hasn’t signed his rookie contract with the Chiefs. And if reports are to be believed, he is set to rake in an impressive sum from the defending champs.
Xavier Worthy Contract Details
Despite being signed a month ago as the 28th overall pick, reports state that the Chiefs rookie WR hasn’t put his pen to the paper yet. But how much money will the University of Texas alum rake in his first NFL deal?
As per reports from Spotrac [via Arrowhead Addict], the star wideout has a four-year contract offer from the Chiefs on the table. It is worth $13.8 million total, with a sweet $6.8 million in signing bonuses. The report also revealed the Chiefs have an option for a fifth-year extension as well.
Reading these lucrative contractual terms today after the video fiasco might seem undeserved, but let’s not forget that Xavier Worthy broke records at the NFL Combine with his historic 40-yard dash at 4.21 seconds. He is also entering the NFL after a stellar season for the Longhorns that saw him get included in a unanimous preseason All-Big 12 selection.
Recency bias aside, Xavier is still a worthy pick for the Chiefs roster. Provided he sorts out his money-spending habits [If he has one, i.e.], the Chiefs might have a gem in their hands!
