The Indianapolis Colts are rolling out the red carpet for Texas wide receiver Xavier Worthy, hosting him for an official top-30 visit ahead of the 2024 NFL Draft. Scheduled for Thursday, the visit promises a comprehensive look at the Colts’ facilities, an opportunity to meet with key personnel including coaches and front office executives, and potentially a deep dive into game film.
Worthy’s 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.
Despite his undeniable talent, the question remains regarding where Worthy might fall in the draft. While he’s 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’s improbable that Worthy would slip too far into the second round, where the Colts hold the No. 46 pick.

Delving into Worthy’s college stats reveals a consistently productive player who made a significant impact from his freshman year onward. His numbers speak for themselves, showcasing his ability to serve as a primary weapon in Texas’ offense across his three seasons with the Longhorns.
As for the Colts’ 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’s 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.
