Patrick Mahomes says 'there's no easing' in period for rookie Xavier Worthy: 'Going to have to be ready to go'

Colin Cowherd and John Middlekauff exchange their top ten NFL coaches lists and discuss why there is such a discrepancy on Sean Payton's ranking.

One of the Kansas City Chiefs goals this offseason was to bolster its wide receiving corps. 

The team added some considerable speed to the receiver room in April when they selected former Texas Longhorns standout Xavier Worthy in the first round.

Shortly after he was drafted, three-time Super Bowl champion Patrick Mahomes posted a couple of emojis to social media to hint at his excitement about having Worthy on the roster. As training camp draws near, Mahomes warned that Worthy will not have the benefit of any type of grace period.

"There's no easing [him in],'' Mahomes told reporters this week. "He's going to have to be ready to go. We got a lot of competition on this offense." 

Worthy was on the practice field for the Chiefs rookie minicamp, but he missed a significant portion of the offseason program as he nursed a sore hamstring.

Mahomes credited Worthy for doing some considerable "mental work," but also acknowledged that it was now time for him to shine on the football field. 

"He got a lot of mental work in these last few weeks that he had during OTAs and minicamp, but it's time to go now."
