The Kansas City Chiefs acquired DeAndre Hopkins during the season, aiming to bolster their wide receiver corps following injuries to Marquise Brown and Rashee Rice. The move has proved successful as Hopkins’ mentorship of rookie Xavier Worthy has resulted in significant improvement in Worthy’s performance. In the first nine games, Worthy recorded 20 catches for 246 yards, but after Hopkins' arrival, he caught 39 passes for 392 yards in the subsequent seven games.

Worthy credits Hopkins and Brown for teaching him valuable techniques to navigate defenses. Both veterans are driven to earn Super Bowl rings, fostering a collaborative environment within the team. With the Chiefs gearing up for the playoffs, quarterback Patrick Mahomes expresses confidence in Worthy's ability to handle high-pressure moments, citing his experience in college playoff games.
