Kansas City Chiefs rookie Xavier Worthy has reportedly been arrested following his first season with the team.

The wide receiver, who was drafted out of Texas as a late first-round pick in 2024, helped Kansas City return to the Super Bowl and was their most productive pass-catcher against the Philadelphia Eagles in their 40-22 loss last month.

According to online records in Williamson County , Texas, the player was booked for assault following an incident that took place on Friday.

While the details are not clear, it appears he could have attempted to choke a family or household member, as the charge reads “ASSAULT FAM/HOUSE MEM IMPEDE BREATH/CIRCULAT.”

Xavier Worthy Now Part Of A Worrying Pattern

The above sounds disturbing on its own. But there should be additional information coming out as news outlets are looking into the matter.

This comes as a bit of déjà vu for the Chiefs, given that it’s the second consecutive offseason in which a promising rookie has been arrested in Texas, with Rashee Rice having found himself in legal hot water for street racing in Dallas last year.
