Fantasy Alert: Chiefs Hype Xavier Worthy's 'Speed You Can Feel' and 'Toughness'

The Kansas City Chiefs added more speed at this year's NFL draft, landing Texas wideout Xavier Worthy with the 28th overall pick in the first round.

The selection conjured memories of the former pairing between Patrick Mahomes and Tyreek Hill in Kansas City, with the latter terrorizing secondaries both over the top as a deep threat and as a RAC monster, given his blazing speed and agility.

Worthy turned heads at the NFL Scouting Combine by running the 40-yard dash in 4.21 seconds, but Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reported during Sunday's SportsCenter that the Chiefs believe he's more than just a good time on the stopwatch:

"As one person with the team told me, Xavier Worthy has speed that you can 'feel' but they love the football player as well, so they're excited to have him in their packages on offense, getting him on the field.
