Xavier Worthy, a standout at the NFL Combine, set the record for the 40-yard dash, sparking discussions about his potential in the NFL. Worthy expressed a desire to be drafted by the Chiefs and emulate the role of Tyreek Hill. His performance drew comparisons to Usain Bolt's 4.22 40-yard dash at Super Bowl LIII, though Worthy acknowledged Bolt's time as unparalleled. Analysts have compared Worthy's playing style to Henry Ellard, highlighting his speed as a defining trait. His 40-yard dash time, along with his impressive 'Flying 20' times, where anything under 1.8 is considered elite, has solidified his reputation.
Xavier Worthy's speed was an NFL Combine headliner. In that department, Tyler Harrell would have made it a competition. And he's 29 pounds heavier.
