Kansas City just got a little flashier — and the NFL can’t stop talking about it. Chiefs rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy has officially entered the league with not just speed and swagger on the field… but also with some seriously loud jewelry off it.

Over the weekend, Worthy popped up on Instagram, flashing a diamond-encrusted chain and pendant so bright that even his Super Bowl–winning teammates had to shield their eyes. Within minutes, the internet exploded. Fans flooded the comments with fire emojis, questions, and plenty of shade.

💬 The Buzz: Where Did the Money Come From?

Rumors are swirling that the custom piece — estimated by jewelers to be worth around $500,000 — came directly from his signing bonus with the Chiefs. But not everyone is buying that simple explanation.

One fan joked: “That’s not a chain, that’s an investment portfolio on his neck.”
Another posted: “Rookie minimum salary and already iced out like he’s Patrick Mahomes? Somebody better check his accountant.”

Even sports radio hosts in Kansas City couldn’t resist fueling the speculation, with one commentator suggesting Worthy might have “a few endorsement deals under the table” — while another hinted at a “mystery backer” footing the bill.

🔥 The Reaction Inside the NFL

Sources say several Chiefs veterans gave Worthy a hard time in the locker room, with Travis Kelce reportedly laughing and saying, “Man, you better back that chain up with touchdowns.” Patrick Mahomes, meanwhile, kept it diplomatic, calling the jewelry “rookie energy at its finest.”

Around the league, though, not everyone’s impressed. Some critics argue that the move screams immaturity and could paint a target on Worthy’s back — both for defenders on the field and for headlines off it.

🎤 Worthy’s Clapback

Worthy himself doesn’t seem phased by the chatter. When asked about the necklace after practice, he smirked and said:

“If they’re talking about my chain, wait until they see what I do on Sundays.”

⚡ Final Word

Whether it’s pure rookie flash or a calculated statement, one thing’s for sure: Xavier Worthy is already making waves in Kansas City. With blinding speed on the turf and blinding diamonds around his neck, he might just be the NFL’s newest headline magnet.
