Texas wide receiver Xavier Worthy has become a household name seemingly overnight.
The reason? An otherworldly performance in the 40-yard dash on March 2 at the NFL scouting combine—which he finished in 4.21 seconds to break former Washington wide receiver John Ross’s seven-year-old record.
On Friday, Worthy told Tyler Dragon of USA Today that a dignitary reached out to him after he broke the record: Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
