Kansas City Chiefs rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy made a spectacular entrance to the NFL, proving that the hype surrounding him was well-deserved. In his debut game against the Baltimore Ravens, Worthy played a key role in the Chiefs’ 27-20 victory, scoring two touchdowns and displaying the skill set that made him a first-round pick out of Texas.
Worthy wasted no time making an impact. In the first quarter, he showcased his lightning speed with a 21-yard rushing touchdown that set the tone for the Chiefs’ offense. As the game progressed, he continued to shine, hauling in a 35-yard touchdown pass from Patrick Mahomes in the fourth quarter, sealing his stellar performance.
However, it wasn’t just Worthy who captured attention during the game. His mother, Nicky Jones, became the subject of buzz at Arrowhead Stadium. Fans and cameras alike couldn’t help but notice her enthusiasm as she cheered on her son during his first regular-season NFL game. Jones has been a constant source of support for Worthy throughout his football journey, and her presence at the game added an emotional layer to his debut.
Following the game, Jones took to social media to express her joy, posting a simple but proud message: “1-0,” referencing the Chiefs’ record and her son’s successful start. It was clear that this moment was just as special for her as it was for Worthy, as she has been by his side through every step of his rise in the football world.

After his record time in the 40 yard dash, Worthy felt like he could play with anyone in the NFL.
He delivered on that promise in his debut, proving his ability to capitalize on those moments when they mattered most. Worthy’s performance not only highlighted his athleticism but also validated the Chiefs’ decision to draft him in the first round.
Looking ahead, Worthy will aim to build on this strong performance as the Chiefs prepare to host the Cincinnati Bengals next Sunday. If his debut is any indication, the young wideout has the potential to be a crucial weapon in the Chiefs’ offense, and he certainly seems poised to live up to his first-round draft status.
For now, Worthy has every reason to celebrate—he has arrived on the NFL stage, and both he and his proud mother, Nicky Jones, are basking in the moment.
