Scheduled for Thursday, the visit promises a comprehensive look at the Colts\u2019 facilities, an opportunity to meet with key personnel including coaches and front office executives, and potentially a deep dive into game film.<\/p>\n<p>Worthy\u2019s meteoric rise as a prospect has been propelled by his exceptional speed, highlighted by his record-breaking 40-yard dash time of 4.21 seconds at the NFL Scouting Combine. This blazing speed, coupled with his consistent and impressive performance throughout his tenure at Texas, positions him as an enticing prospect for the Colts, who are keen on adding explosiveness to their roster, especially with Anthony Richardson entering his sophomore season.<\/p>\n<p>Despite his undeniable talent, the question remains regarding where Worthy might fall in the draft. While he\u2019s considered a fringe first-round pick, the possibility of the Colts targeting him could hinge on various factors, including the potential to trade back from their No. 15 overall pick. However, it\u2019s improbable that Worthy would slip too far into the second round, where the Colts hold the No. 46 pick.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Xavier Worthy college stats<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div class=\"table-container\">\n<table style=\"height: 143px\" border=\"2\" width=\"707\" cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"text-align-center\"><strong>Year<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"text-align-center\"><strong>Class<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"text-align-center\"><strong>G<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"text-align-center\"><strong>Rec<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"text-align-center\"><strong>Rec.

His numbers speak for themselves, showcasing his ability to serve as a primary weapon in Texas\u2019 offense across his three seasons with the Longhorns.<\/p>\n<p>As for the Colts\u2019 wide receiver depth chart, Worthy would add a dynamic dimension alongside established players like Michael Pittman Jr., who recently inked a three-year contract extension. With second-year receiver Josh Downs slotting in and Alec Pierce entering his third season, Worthy\u2019s versatility to work both in the slot and on the outside would provide the Colts with a valuable asset, making him an intriguing target for selection on either Day 1 or Day 2 of the draft.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Indianapolis Colts are rolling out the red carpet for Texas wide receiver Xavier Worthy, hosting him for an official\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":39499,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[12926],"class_list":["post-39498","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports","tag-xavier-worthy"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39498","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/294"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39498"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39498\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39499"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39498"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39498"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39498"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
