During the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs traded up to select Texas wide receiver Xavier Worthy. He’s expected to give their offense an element they’ve been missing since trading Tyreek Hill.
On Friday night, Worth’s mother, Nicky Jones, celebrated this achievement. She tweeted, “My son is a Kansas City Chief!”
It didn’t take long for Jones’ post on X to go viral. Fans can’t get over how well she has aged.
Jones has three kids at the moment. In 2022, she posted a heartfelt message on X about being their mother.
“My 3. This will 4ever be my fav picture…,” Jones wrote. “I remember sitting across from them, thinking how grateful I was to be THEIR MoM. No matter how hard it got or gets, there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for them. I’ll go to war over these 3.”
Here’s the photo of Worthy and his mother that’s going viral:

Unsurprisingly, Jones also went viral at times during the 2023 season for Texas.
What a journey…🤍#lasthomegame 🤟🏾 pic.twitter.com/LJhWQL2MNP

Worthy showed tremendous potential for Texas last season, hauling in 75 passes for 1,014 yards and five touchdowns. On Thursday night, Chiefs general manager Brett Veach raved about the young wideout’s potential.
“It’s a speed game and the more speed you have on the field, the harder it is for defenses to take away different elements of the game,” Veach said. “Anytime you can add speed and add a guy with that type of versatility, I think you’re going to be interested. Just our ability to play vertical and have speed on the field at all times and having Xavier and Hollywood … I think as the season goes on here, I think we’ll have just an offense that can attack in multiple different ways and always keep defenses guessing.”
We’d have to imagine that Jones will attend several Chiefs games next season.
