Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy spoke with reporters via Zoom on Sunday about Worthy reminding him of Rashee Rice\u2019s rookie campaign last year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cConsistently productive player confidence and the game is slowing down for him (Xavier Worthy). It reminds me so much of Rashee (Rice) last year.\u201d Said Nagy. \u201cIt\u2019s crazy how much it reminds me of that same type of avenue that Rashee went through last year; it was a little slow for the first four or five, six weeks, and then weeks like 7,8,9, 10. You can sense it. You might not see it in a stat book, but you can sense it as a coach.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Worthy was productive for a second consecutive week, scoring a touchdown in the victories. He finished Saturday\u2019s game against the Houston Texans with seven catches for 65 yards and the touchdown to lead the team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can sense it from watching tape, and now all of a sudden, you naturally see more targets, you see more touches, you see more production.\u201d Said Nagy. \u201cIt\u2019s exactly what happened with Rashee, and I\u2019m telling you, it\u2019s crazy how similar it is, and it\u2019s exciting because you see what Rashee came into this year, what he did early on, and I think that\u2019s, that\u2019s the path for this kid.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Every catch by Xavier Worthy vs. Texans | Week 16\" width=\"790\" height=\"444\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vprljT7D7No?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Worthy\u2019s confidence is displayed in his attack on the ball in the air, even if he accidentally disrupted a pass meant for Travis Kelce in the endzone during Saturday\u2019s win.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kansas City #Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy compares Xavier Worthy to Rashee Rice: \u2018You see more production\u2019 | @EdEastonJr<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7613,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[88,445,108,446,447,118,448],"class_list":["post-7612","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kansas-city-chiefs","tag-chiefs","tag-matt-nagy","tag-news","tag-offensive-coordinator","tag-rashee-rice","tag-wide-receiver","tag-xavier-worthy"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>\ud83d\udd25 Chiefs OC Matt Nagy Makes Bold Comparison: Rookie Standout vs. Rashee Rice \u2013 Who Delivers More?
