Xavier Worthy: From NFL Debut to Whirlwind Romance and Monday Night Football Predictions
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy has been making headlines both on and off the field. Recently, his fiancée, track and field athlete Tia Jones, shared the intriguing story of how they met. The couple’s love story began with a missed Instagram DM, which ultimately led to a chance encounter at a valet parking spot. Tia, who recently matched the world record for the 60m hurdles at the USATF Indoor Championships, recounted how she panicked upon recognizing Xavier and quickly returned to her vehicle. However, fate brought them together as they ended up chatting, and Xavier asked her out on a date. Tia credits divine timing for their meeting, saying, “That’s why God had me late to that dinner ‘cause I met my man.”
On the football front, Xavier Worthy is gearing up for Monday Night Football as the Chiefs face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Chiefs, currently undefeated at 7-0, are favorites to win, and Worthy is a key player in their offense. Fantasy football predictions suggest that Worthy has a good chance of making a significant impact, particularly given the Buccaneers’ weak secondary. Predictions indicate that Worthy could exceed his projected longest reception of 17.5 yards, making him a viable option for fantasy players.
In terms of touchdown odds, Worthy is listed among the top contenders to score first, although Kareem Hunt and Travis Kelce have higher odds. Worthy’s odds to score a touchdown at any time are +230, and +1200 to score the first touchdown of the game.
As the Chiefs aim to maintain their undefeated record, Worthy’s performance will be closely watched. His fiancée, Tia Jones, has been a constant supporter, celebrating his achievements and cheering him on during his NFL debut just two months after their engagement in July 2024.
