WATCH: Chiefs Wire Podcast Video Interview: Chris Maxey
On the Chiefs Wire Podcast, we look back at one of the best interviews from the 2024 season! This week, we're reflecting on the Week 17 episode.
Watch as Senior Writer Ed Easton Jr. spoke to Xavier Worthy's high school coach, Chris Maxey, about his special gift from the Chiefs' wide receiver before last year's NFL Draft and his humble beginnings. Maxey discussed the significance of Worthy's jersey number, his impact on the future, and how his humble personality aligns with the Kansas City community.
Worthy surprised his mentor and childhood football coach, Maxey, who helped inspire him throughout his journey, with a 98-inch television. He posted his admiration and the incredible moment on his Instagram last year, days before the 2024 NFL Draft.
While playing football at Central East High School, Maxey convinced Worthy to run track and stepped in as an added parent figure. He even made the six-day trip to Virginia for the Junior Olympics in the seventh grade when his mom couldn't take time off work. Maxey continues to work with youth athletes at Central East High School in Fresno, California. He uses Worthy's journey as a positive example of what can happen if you work hard and pursue your goals.
