Kansas City Chiefs rookie Xavier Worthy has reportedly been arrested following his first season with the team.
The wide receiver, who was drafted out of Texas as a late first-round pick in 2024, helped Kansas City return to the Super Bowl and was their most productive pass-catcher against the Philadelphia Eagles in their 40-22 loss last month.
According to online records in Williamson County, Texas, the player was booked for assault following an incident that took place on Friday.
While the details are not clear, it appears he could have attempted to choke a family or household member, as the charge reads “ASSAULT FAM/HOUSE MEM IMPEDE BREATH/CIRCULAT.”
Xavier Worthy Now Part Of A Worrying Pattern
The above sounds disturbing on its own. But there should be additional information coming out as news outlets are looking into the matter.
This comes as a bit of déjà vu for the Chiefs, given that it’s the second consecutive offseason in which a promising rookie has been arrested in Texas, with Rashee Rice having found himself in legal hot water for street racing in Dallas last year.
