Xavier Worthy is the first player drafted out of Texas to score a touchdown in the Super Bowl

In a historic moment for both the Kansas City Chiefs and the University of Texas, wide receiver Xavier Worthy became the first player ever drafted out of Texas to score a touchdown in the Super Bowl. Worthy’s landmark achievement came during Super Bowl LIX, where he delivered a standout performance that helped keep the Chiefs competitive in their clash with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Worthy, who was drafted by the Chiefs in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, quickly made an impact in the league. Known for his speed, sharp route running, and knack for making big plays, Worthy rose to the occasion on the sport’s biggest stage. With 8 receptions for 157 yards and 2 touchdowns, Worthy showed the world why he was one of the most highly touted rookies in the draft.

His two touchdowns were not only crucial in the Chiefs’ offensive strategy but also made history as the first by a Texas Longhorns player in a Super Bowl. This moment solidifies Worthy’s place in both NFL and Texas football history, bringing pride to his alma mater and adding another milestone to his young career.

“I’ve dreamed of this moment since I was a kid,” said Worthy after the game. “To be able to make history as a Texas Longhorn and help my team at the biggest stage is something I’ll never forget. It’s a testament to all the hard work that got me here.”

Worthy’s performance in Super Bowl LIX was a key highlight for the Chiefs, and despite the team’s loss, his contributions did not go unnoticed. His ability to rise under pressure, alongside fellow stars like Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, has made him a vital asset in the Chiefs’ high-powered offense.

As Kansas City continues its quest for Super Bowl glory, Worthy’s achievements serve as a reminder of the incredible talent emerging from college football programs like Texas. His Super Bowl performance marks the beginning of what promises to be a bright future in the NFL, and fans of both the Chiefs and Texas Longhorns are eager to see where his career takes him next.
