‘That’s cold’ – Chiefs’ Xavier Worthy issues brutal five-word takedown after NFL hopeful potentially loses millions in Combine
Barring a ridiculous performance from an offensive lineman, Xavier Worthy’s Combine record is going nowhere. The former Texas wideout ran a blistering 4.21-second 40-yard dash in 2024 and earned a move to the Kansas City Chiefs. GettyIsaiah Bond didn’t back up his bold claims[/caption] Fellow Longhorns prospect Isaiah Bond was sure he would erase Worthy’s name from the history books. “I’m going to break the record tomorrow, for sure,” Bond said Friday. “I anticipate running a 4.20 or possibly if I’m feeling great I might run a 4.1.” Texas running back Jaydon Blue felt the same. “I think I’ll break the 40 record … 4.1 or 4.20,” he declared, via The Athletic. “Workouts all last year, that was the person [Worthy] I ran next to. “Me and him used to go at it. He won a few, I won a few. He’s fast, don’t get me wrong. I don’t think people really know how fast I am because I don’t really run in games unless I have to.

Barring a ridiculous performance from an offensive lineman, Xavier Worthy’s Combine record is going nowhere.
