The 2024 season will kick off with an AFC Championship Game rematch between the two-time reigning champion Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens. Except this time, both teams have reinforcements in the form of first-round wide receiver Xavier Thomas and cornerback Nate Wiggins, respectively.

The speedy Worthy and the fluid Wiggins should find themselves aligned opposite from each other early and often under the bright lights in Kansas City.

Worthy broke the NFL Scouting Combine record with his 4.21-second 40-yard dash, which garnered plenty of headlines throughout the predraft process. Week 1 will be his first opportunity to work with star quarterback Patrick Mahomes in a game that matters.

Worthy’s acceleration and top-end burst will force Baltimore to play him deep, but his ability to quickly separate in the shallow areas could help him carve out a significant target share early in 2024.

Meanwhile, Wiggins is slated to start opposite of Brandon Stephens in a talented, veteran-laden Ravens secondary. While his 173-pound frame raises questions about his play strength at the top of routes and ability to tackle in isolated opportunities, he has the hips and foot speed to flat-out run and should have no issue making plays at a variety of depths.
