The Kansas City Chiefs return to the field for an NFL game for the first time since winning Super Bowl LVIII months ago. The rookies on the roster will get their first taste of the NFL in Saturday night’s matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
In honor of his first NFL game, a video titled’ A Letter to Xavier,’ narrated by Xavier Worthy’s mother, Nicky Jones, was released on her X account.
“Xavier, as you get ready for your first NFL game, I can’t help but think of some of my favorite memories of you playing the game you love: that one game when you were in Pop Warner, and you scored like seven touchdowns in a game, or when you scored your first high school varsity touchdown, your first collegiate touchdown. And, of course, I can’t forget that 75-yard touchdown versus Oklahoma on the opening play in the Red River rivalry game, one of the biggest rivalry games in college football; you do everything fast, ‘Mr. 4.21’,” said Jones. “But that doesn’t mean all this happened overnight. As your Mom, I’ve watched you put in years of sacrifice, lots and lots of hard work, and dedication to get where you are today, and you deserve every single blessing coming your way as you start your NFL career.”

“Xavier, I want you to remember you set your own standard of excellence—no one else. Continue to set that bar high, and every day, strive to be the best version of yourself on and off the field, my son. I am so proud of you and love you—Times Infinity. Go be great. Go be amazing. Go be legendary.”
Worthy is expected to play significant time in his preseason debut, hoping to make an immediate impact before the regular season begins.
