In a snippet shared by the Kansas City Chiefs on YouTube, Mitch Holthus and Matt McCullen detailed that Xavier Worthy brings more to the table than just blazing speed. They discussed various ways in which Coach Andy Reid can integrate Worthy into the team’s offensive schemes.
“Think of all the ways Coach Reid’s going to use him along the line of scrimmage. Think about Orbit Motions, Jet Sweeps, putting him in motion. The defense had to respect his speed at all times, and that’s going to open things up for other players.” Matt McCullen said.
