Xavier Worthy shows some love to Travis Kelce.
Kansas City Chiefs Wide Receiver, 22, praised his star tight end teammate, 35, when he spoke at a press conference on Sunday, September 28th.
It was worth returning to the field during the Chiefs’ victory match against the Baltimore Ravens, and was asked by reporters what he was like as Kelce accidentally hit him mid-game and could potentially have a season-ending shoulder injury.
“The guy is the biggest hype guy on the team,” Worthy said during the presser. “He’s always just exaggerating everyone and saying, ‘Man, I need you.’ I’m a “man who always steps up” so I just want to step up for everyone. ”
Worthy supported his dislocated shoulder and torn lips in week one after crashing with Kelce on the third play of the season in Sao Paulo on Friday, September 5th. Coach Andy Reed said his return is unknown three days after his injury. But Worthy’s rehabilitation and work paid off.
“When I was injured, I was about to return immediately. I couldn’t lift my arm. When I returned to KC I was trying to return as soon as possible,” the second-year player said at a press conference on September 28th.

“Coach, they know how I am as a player,” he continued. “They were probably more than anything else, they were holding me back from themselves. I was trying to get back there at the same time. I didn’t worry about coming back.”
Kelse looked back on the injury he accidentally caused during a match that ended in a 27-21 defeat when he spoke with his brothers on an episode of New Heights on Wednesday, September 10th, and co-hosted with Jason Kelse, who co-hosted with Jason Kelse.
“I owe my man a big time, man, X knows that,” Travis told his brother. “I felt like an s–I barely could play the rest of the first half.

However, Travis said he was “most accountable” due to the injury.
“I wasn’t ready, that first drive, I met one of my peers and kicked him out of the game,” he said in New Heights. “I literally took one of the players out. That’s one of the most frustrating parts and it’s hard to get the juice back knowing you’re going to hurt a guy.”

“I just have to do something good, man, I’m 13 years in the league and there’s no excuse that I can come across those people like that and be quick and helping,” he added.
Travis said he believes his value is “one of our best players” and is separate from “being one of the best receivers in the National Football League.”
