During week 4 of the NFL season, there were plenty of memorable performances. Two of those came from former Longhorn stars Xavier Worthy and Andrew Mukuba. The talented duo delivered vintage performances after slow starts and reminded everyone why they are elite talents.
In the Chiefs win over the Raiders, Worthy was one of Patrick Mahomes favorite targets. The former first-round pick set a season high in receiving yards with 70, the second-most on the team behind Tyquan Thornton. As the Chiefs recorded a key divisional win, Worthy averaged 17.5 yards per catch and had seven targets.
Xavier Worthy outmuscled his defender for the longest play of his third NFL season so far, a 41-yard gain leading to Chiefs TD. The @_CEBengalFball grad had one 40+
yard play last season, but he’s healthy and capable of more as you see here ⬇️ (📺 : CBS) pic.twitter.com/fmi2nPZqPA

Due to his stellar performance, the 23-year-old now has 133 receiving yards this season. That ranks fourth on the team behind Travis Kelce, Thornton, and Rasher Rice. If Worthy can build on his play against the Raiders, then he should continue to climb close to the top of the team leaderboards.
As Worthy was impressive for the Chiefs, Mukuba made the most of his playing time against the Rams. The veteran safety recorded four tackles and one interception. While the Eagles couldn't stop a late rally, Mukuba was a bright spot. Through four games, he has 20 total tackles, the fourth-most on the team trailing Jihaad Campbell, Zack Braun, and Coper DeJean.

Although the Chiefs will be on their bye in Week 5, Mukuba will get to build on his play when the Eagles take on the Jaguars in London. That will give the former second-round pick a chance to shine on the international stage as Philadelphia looks to improve to 3-2 and bounce back from their second loss of the season.
