One of the biggest winners of the NFL Draft combine was Texas wide receiver Xavier Worthy.
Worthy dazzled in Indianapolis by blowing his 40-yard dash projections out of the water, running a 4.21, easing concerns about his size and weight. The speedster has now entered the conversation as a first-round pick with those type of measurables.

Chiefs Favored to Select Xavier Worthy
Yes, the Chiefs won the Super Bowl, but that didn't come with a ton of questions about the Kansas City pass catching group around Patrick Mahomes. Many have pegged the Chiefs at pick No. 32 as a contender to select a wide receiver, or maybe move up for one.
Worthy's speed makes him a logical target, and Mahomes reaching out to the Texas product only added smoke to the fire.

The betting market reflects what has been a stagnant market to date with the biggest link to Worthy is the Chiefs, but it's still very early in the process with plenty of options for a player of Worthy's stature. Teams like the Buffalo Bills and Houston Texans, who have been linked to wide receivers this offseason, are also short on the odds board.
