Quarterback Patrick Mahomes is a "tape-a-holic" about wide receiver Xavier Worthy .

Worthy ran the 40 -yard dash in 4.21 seconds at the combine, a record for the scouting combine.

The Chiefs traded up a few spots late in the first round rather than hope he slipped to them at the 32nd pick.

They saw instant results in their season-opening 27-20 win against Baltimore Ravens .

Worthy caught a 39 -yard pass from quarterback Patrick Mahomes and a 22 -yard touchdown pass from Carson Wentz .

The wideout didn't sit out a game in three college seasons.

"He's got great football instincts, and he's a tremendous worker," coach Andy Reid said.

Worthy played for Reid , who coached Worthy 's favorite childhood player, DeSean Jackson .
