With the 2024 NFL Draft kicking off, teams have been scrambling to scoop up their picks. While players like Caleb Williams, Laiatu Latu, and more had already been chosen in the first round, others were waiting for it to go into round 2. Just hours ago, it was revealed that Travis Kelce’s Chiefs have traded up four spots with the Bills to get their pick and draft Texas WR Xavier Worthy.

It might have been a celebratory moment for both the team and the young star. However, a former Panthers linebacker, Luke Kuechly ended up stating that Travis Kelce is the true winner behind the team’s latest addition.

Luke Kuechly breaks down Travis Kelce’s future potential game plan

In a recent episode of Up & Adams Show with Kay Adams, Luke Kuechly joined the show to share his thoughts on the Kansas City Chiefs’ plans for Xavier Worthy. After explaining how the 20-year-old would probably be utilized in the team, the 8-season star stated, “I think the biggest winner this offseason with the Chiefs is Travis Kelce.”

The 33-year-old continued by saying that bringing in players like Marquise Brown and Xavier Worthy created “all these layers in the defense” for Kelce to “run around even more than he’s been able to.” Kuechly also claimed that the draft pick and latest addition to the team proved that coach Andy Reid had something creative up his sleeve by bringing in the two players.

While the coach’s plans may be revealed once the season kicks off later in the year, there is no doubt that Worthy will be striving towards earning his spot in the Chiefs beside Travis Kelce and Mahomes. After all, the 20-year-old claimed to have an inkling that he would wind up with them.

The wide receiver took his time in processing the news of him being the 28th overall pick. However, just hours ago, he addressed the media and shared what he plans to bring to the table.

Xavier Worthy is thrilled to be with the Chiefs

On Thursday night, Xavier Worthy finally addressed his sudden early draft into the Chiefs. While he seemed happy to be a part of the beloved team, he stated that he would be working hard to earn his spot in the team’s locker room. The 21-year-old also explained that he felt like he was bringing “a complete receiver” to the 4 time Super Bowl champions. When asked whether he was surprised about the draft, the wide receiver had an answer ready to go.

The 20-year-old claimed that he had “been saying it since the beginning of the year.” He was sure that he was going to join the Chiefs. Although he wound up being right, he added that he was most excited about joining Tyreek Hill’s draft team and playing with “Pat.”

With Worthy looking forward to teaming up with Patrick Mahomes, who he called, “One of the greatest quarterbacks of all time,” it will be interesting to see how the two fare on the field together. Will Worthy prove to be an asset to Travis Kelce and the team? The path seems somewhat positive for now but the 2024 season will bring forth the answers!
