Mahomes' WR Concerns: Ex-Chief Sounds Alarm
5 Jul
Summary
- Ex-RB LeSean McCoy questions receiver Rashee Rice's reliability.
- McCoy doubts receiver Xavier Worthy's speed translates to game performance.
- Both receivers underwent offseason surgeries but expect to play.
As the Kansas City Chiefs approach their training camp, concerns linger over the wide receiver positions, prompting a warning from former Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy to quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
McCoy shared his reservations on the Speakeasy podcast, specifically targeting receiver Rashee Rice, citing repeated off-field issues that have eroded trust. He also expressed skepticism about Xavier Worthy, suggesting the receiver's timed speed does not translate to effective play on the field.
Rice recently underwent knee surgery and missed voluntary workouts and mandatory minicamp but is anticipated to be fully cleared for training camp. Worthy had a 2025 season with 42 receptions for 532 yards and a touchdown, and appears to have recovered from offseason shoulder surgery.
