REPORT: Miami Dolphins Show Major Interest In Nabbing WR Patrick Mahomes Really Wants For 2024
The Miami Dolphins are reportedly tipping their hand at what draft prospect they want, and it’s apparently a wide receiver that Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick has his eyes on. Go figure: the Dolphins and Mahomes prefer the same type of receiver.
Mahomes started his career chucking deep balls to Tyreek Hill. The Dolphins traded for Hill in the 2022 offseason. The Chiefs haven’t replaced the kind of speed Hill provided.
Patrick Mahomes has his eye on a WR
It only made sense that Mahomes noticed the fastest receiver at this year’s NFL Combine. Following a 2023 season in which the wide receiver play was one of the worst in the league, the Chiefs came into the offseason expected to draft a wide receiver to place alongside Rashee Rice. (They have since signed Marquise Brown.)
Mahomes noted Xavier Worthy was crazy fast when the Texas wide receiver broke the NFL Combine’s 40-yard dash record with a 4.21 time. Mahomes reportedly reached out to Worthy following the perfect to congratulate him on breaking the record.
But the Chiefs aren’t the only team that took notice of Worthy’s speed.
The Miami Dolphins met with Xavier Worthy
Per Hank South with Horns 247, Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel went over to meet with Worthy following Texas’ pro day. McDaniel had a big grin when he asked Worthy why he didn’t sprint the 40-yard dash on Wednesday.
“I didn’t wanna break the record too much,” Worthy said.
