Kansas City Chiefs rookie Xavier Worthy has handled his jump to the NFL smoothly through five games. He continues to show love to his biggest fan, his mother, Nicky Jones.
Jones recently appeared on ‘The Mama Bear Podcast,‘ reflecting on the memorable moment that has gone viral since last Monday night’s game.
“When I was there, obviously, like, I’m in the moment of it, but when I watched it back, on TV, it just made me so happy,” said Jones, “because he just it reminded me of when he was in Pop Warner, like, excited after a touchdown, and he hopped up, and the way he just ‘hold on,’ he, ran over there, and his smile was just so big and sweet. Oh, like, Oh, it’s my baby. Like, it was just so, so sweet.”
Jones was celebrating her birthday that night, and her son gave her the perfect gift on Monday Night Football.
“But it was this full circle moment, kind of because l was turning 40, which is kind of a milestone, and then, when he got drafted, he had turned 21 at the stadium as well,” said Jones. “So it was like, Wow, this little baby boy I had when I was 18, I’m here right now. In my wildest dreams, we pictured this, but I’m here, like, I’m living it. I wanted to soak it up, sit in, and feel it. And I did, and it was amazing. I’ll never forget it.”
Worthy and the Chiefs return from their bye week this Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers, hoping to create more memorable moments.
