Chiefs Rookie Xavier Worthy Has Barely Started His NFL Career And Already Had His Car Stolen

I don't know what was on Chiefs rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy's to-do list when he learned that he was headed to Kansas City.

If he's like most of us, I'm guessing he wanted to snag himself a little of that world-famous BBQ (I bet Andy Reid has some kick-ass recommendations on that front), maybe catch a Royals game across the parking lot from Arrowhead Stadium, and — if time allows — maybe check out Hallmark's headquarters and pick up some gifts.

Who knows? All I can assure you is that "become the victim of a car theft" was not on that list.

According to a report from Pro Football Talk, Worthy's ride was stolen while it was parked at an apartment complex in Kansas City.

A source told the outlet that the car — the make and model of which hasn't come out yet (I know; I'm disappointed too) — was stolen by what was described as a group of perpetrators who "knew exactly what they were doing."

Fortunately, no one was hurt, but that was because there was no one around to get hurt. It sounds like whoever stole Worthy's car simply walked into the garage and took it.

That's a real shame and hopefully, they find the car. He'll need that to get to work.

At least on the bright side, there's nowhere to go but up from here. Even if Worthy has a somewhat underwhelming year by first-round wide receiver standards, he can still be like, "Hey, it still beats having your car stolen.

See? You need to be more positive about these things.

The Chiefs traded up to the 28th pick in this year's draft to select Worthy, who played his college ball at the University of Texas. In three seasons with the Longhorns, Worthy racked up 2,755 receiving yards (including 1,000 yards last season alone) and 26 touchdowns.
