Travis on Xavier: sweet, that opens up the middle of the field for me!

[@user-pe6nv2xx6n]

I love how jason is as supportive of the chiefs, as he is his brother.. a Beautiful thing baby

[@smilerpink]

Texas fan here. KC will love Xavier. Speed absolutely translates as you see on tape. He secures passes/punts, sees an alley, hits it all out and is gone. Terrific short area quickness too in addition to long speed. Makes guys miss in traffic. Deadly in the red zone getting separation and catching in traffic. Lastly, fearless and tough. Packs surprising punch at 170 pounds.

[@michaelhoggard591]

Congrats Trav on a well deserved raise on your new contract! Long overdue!

[@sngray11]

The two of you have the best commentary EVER! 🙌🏽

[@user-if8fw8vi5s]

Really hope Lrz gets a chance to show his running ability not just straight line pace 24-25 mph with hand off ability running different angles hope he makes it he’s a fantastic rugby player hope it transfers there will be a lot off new chiefs fans here in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 UK

[@mattreya]

The packages show Xavier Worthy doing a great job tracking that ball. I'd love to see some practice throws of Mahomes sending a "Patomic Bomb" 60 yds to Worthy in 6 seconds.

[@thatstheway2429]

ball tracking is so underrated. Tyreek's ability to track Pat's deep balls was absolutely phenomenal. Everyone always talks about the speed, but it was that trait that made Tyreek the best WR in the game.

[@richardlapoint1845]

​@thatstheway2429 man tyreek is the best receiver I've ever seen and I've been watching for 30 years. He's the total package. Fast man in the league, great hands, and can bail a qb out of a bad situation with his route running ability and ball tracking ability.

[@thatstheway2429]

@@richardlapoint1845 I agree 100%. Also goes to show you how ridiculous Mahomes is that he got better when Tyreek left lol

[@richardlapoint1845]

@@thatstheway2429 absolutely. Now imagine kc resigning tyreek with Xavier on the other side. Tyreeks contract with Miami is almost done I think.

[@thatstheway2429]

@@richardlapoint1845I can’t really see it happening. He would still command money. Plus I think he said he’s retiring when his contract ends.

[@figarden1]

Insane to hear them big upping a Fresno boy! Central High School baby

[@robertscifers2371]

That was my wife's school. She is an excited Chiefs fan. He looks smooth catching the ball. He is natural at adjusting to the deep ball, and if it seems a little out of reach, he finds another gear. He produced immediately as a frosh at TX. He wasn't a fast guy who pulled a hammy once a year. The floor seems decently high to me. He will be a deep threat. As to other routes, at the very least, he should be able to threaten deep and put the brakes on for easy shorter gains. He showed the ability to do that at TX. How many easy first downs did the Chiefs get when Tyreek used to do that? High floor. Desean Jackson ceiling?

[@figarden1]

@@robertscifers2371 mannnn as an Eagles fan hearing D Jax ceiling makes me happy cause honestly that would be insane in that offense with Pat

[@RookieDIY]

Central High pride! CO 2005

[@robertscifers2371]

@@figarden1 That Reid has had such success before with a player like Worthy is exciting as a Chiefs fan. D Jax was awesome and so fun. I am not going to pout about our failure to rout teams last year. It was a slugfest all year, but satisfying and surprising to win it all. But, I do have to admit that the high flying Mahomes show was the most fun. Hollywood Brown and Worthy are exciting additions.

[@jeremydomann8920]

So exactly what made his 40s so impressive

[@juliehodge2831]

Yes, and I hope he can catch it!

[@slipperyblueclay2521]

With the infusion of the draft picks and don’t forget about Rees-Zammit, the Chiefs offense will be off the chain. The only Achilles heel could be a depleted secondary. The 3-peat is conceivable.

[@333studiosks]

“Depleted secondary” bro we have 4 nasty safeties, 3 nfl level starting corners in mcduffie, Watson and Williams. We are good bro

[@robertscifers2371]

@@333studiosks I hear that description on the media some, too. I loved watching Sneed, but I agree with you that our secondary isn't exactly "depleted." I think the added weapons to KC's offense will more than make up for whatever step back the D takes. The D should still be good.

[@JackKnoxx]

​@orlandoservantez2986 Idk about Williams. Watson I think will slow down too due to surgery.

[@Court611]

We know Travis is number 1 target and will stay that but Xavier is amazing

[@killiemucken]

If these new receivers work out he could go into more of a blocking role or decoy. He could prolong his career more years if these 2 new pacy receivers work

[@matthewwilliams4168]

​@killiemucken rice will probably be suspended for 4-6 games so trav will have to be what we know of him

[@killiemucken]

⁠@@matthewwilliams4168of course this season trav will still be number one target with the others getting used to the system I’m talking about going into that role next year maybe after

[@thatstheway2429]

I think as we learned last year, by far the most important part with Travis is ensuring he's as healthy as possible come January. If that means he ends up becoming 3rd in targets, then so be it.

[@abnego9676]

​@@thatstheway2429 Another important component is having a valid deep ball threat. Travis can only do so much with double and triple coverage. If all we can pull off are shallow crossing routes, they'll keep jamming him at the line.

[@broderickousley3883]

LETS GO!!

[@chrissett4245]

Good one fellas... Ya, it's going to be a fun season with speed. I was missing 15 hitting his receivers in stride 30+ yards downfield. ❤

[@AnimeAsLeaders998]

Hi Jason, can you show us your guitar playing man? I saw a fender strat on the background

[@The66Tink]

I love how fast Xavier is which is great as a Chiefs fan; however, Darrell Green ran a 4.09 40 back in the day.

[@DirtyD07]

It wasn't combine and official record though, just a training camp rumor.

[@The66Tink]

@@DirtyD07 Training camp record not rumor; 1986 to be exact. Darrell Green wasn’t named the fastest man in the NFL at the time for nothing.

[@touchd_dwn_n88panthergod4]

X is fast , but ppl thinking hed produce like Reek is ridiculous. Reek is 200lbs . X is 160 ... that 40pbs matters alot

[@KristanSaucedo]

Jason, it's always been THE University of Texas! 🤘🏽

[@savagejoy3708]

Underdog three-peat!

[@dalehammers4425]

Fast guys arent the key point though, you gotta have the QB that can hit em that deep in stride as well, which fortunately we do.

[@killiemucken]

If both worthy and Hollywood can work on route running and getting space kc is a problem again pat just needs an inch to get that ball to his man

[@joshdives101]

Trav looks about as interested in sports talk as my discussing weather patterns…..hard to live that rock star lifestyle and sill be intrigued by a 40yd dash.

[@OnlyinMiamiFlorida]

When Jason goes over the top or digresses too much (which happened a lot in the original vid to this) I use that time to investigate the background. Two things: looks like all the cans lined up in Travis’s mini fridge are opened so it’s just deco. Jason’s gonna start placing ad-sponsored stuff in this basement - you can already see it in the background.

[@Eban418YT]

Yo did Jason ever find the ring

[@dustonlindeman3368]

[@autojohn-pu1vf]

What about CARSON STEEL????🐊

[@kdis20]

Correction: The fastest man to run the 40 yard dash was Bo Jackson at the 1986 combine. 4.13 seconds. NOT XAVIER WORTHY.

[@sandman204]

Wow 😳😳 thats insane. Didn't he weigh like 225-230 as well?!

[@jimward204]

Everybody seems to have forgotten about Darrell Green, a former Washington Redskin, All-Pro, and Hall of Famer, who ran a forty in 4.18 and was the NFL's Fastest Man four different times . Additionally, to celebrate his 50th birthday, he ran a 4.43.

[@JackKnoxx]

That time isn't confirmed. Bo Jackson supposedly ran a 4.13. Now he probably ran a sub 4.4, we will never really know tho.

[@DavidTOBerry]

It is JIF not G IF...even the damn creator of GIFs said that was how to pronounce it. So more power to ya Jason!

[@TheChiefsGoblin]

And Veach said he regrets not drafting DK. Imagine if we had DK since 2019...

[@jeffsherwood5259]

He doesn't catch everything, but I think his hands will be more reliable than Hill's.

Idk why they say he ran the fastest 40 when Bo Jackson ran 4.13 at the NFL combine in 1986.

[@darrylbrown8253]

ummm no he didnt that is a myth. No one who is 230 lbs at the time of the combine is going to run a 4.13. Use common sense. When Bo Jackson ran they didnt have the electronic timing like they do today. At best if he was to run today, he would run a 4.3-.4.4.

[@ryanharden80]

He's not the fastest Bo Jackson was with a 4.12 40!!!!!......

[@fredbegin3850]

Yah being the fastest did a bunch for John Ross, we can wait for him to hit the field.

[@mindfulness5475]

Hey Travis, I respectfully request that you think of using the word Frikken instead of F******, it is more acceptable to large audiences. It is so unnecessary, and you really get nothing out of doing it. The world is not a football locker room.

[@redstedman]

Shut UP .the fastest man is Hershel Walker. Period

[@darrylbrown8253]

also he is the dumbest man...but Worthy is still faster than him. Walker ran a 4.35.

[@brandontyler1754]

Ya'll must watch different film than I do. Because when I pull up his highlight video at Texas I don't see any speed at all he looks slow as molasses.

[@auomi8762]

I agree to some extent. He’s fast don’t get me wrong, but I think he’s hard to evaluate. I personally don’t see him pulling away from very many people but he does show great acceleration and lateral movement

[@gaden002]

You are either a complete idiot, a troll just trying to get under other people's skin, or you need to reset the speed on your videos to normal instead of slow. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3PMnWmFetVrZs0 See that guy streaking down the sidelines, outrunning everybody? That's Worthy.

[@brandontyler1754]

@@auomi8762 it's also hard for me to see speed in general in college football because it is so much slower overall.

[@Willie_McBride]

He’s fast. yeah. But he’s a waif. 5’11 ish & 175. First time he gets drilled in the ribs by a kamikaze safety is gonna give him alligator arms. I’m not impressed with his route running, he’s a one trick pony.

[@gaden002]

@Willie_McBride His route running is one of the things he is being praised about. Yeah, I doubt whether Veatch and Reid even considered his ability to take a hit. You don't even get hit in College, they just let you run free.

[@Vote_Blue]

the 40 yard dash is not a very good indicator of speed... xavier worthy is way too small. i predict he'll be an injury machine when he starts taking hits from NFL DBs.
