Travis Kelce’s Crushing Hit Sends Rookie Xavier Worthy Off the Field Early

 

Kansas City, MO – September 6, 2025

The Kansas City Chiefs’ Week 1 clash delivered an early viral moment — and it came from a collision between two of their own.

Veteran tight end Travis Kelce laid a crushing block on rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy, sending the rookie to the turf in a hit that immediately lit up social media. Analyst Warren Sharp shared the clip with the caption, “Travis Kelce killed Xavier Worthy,” sparking both laughter and concern among fans.

The play unfolded as Worthy cut across the middle, only to be leveled by Kelce in what appeared to be a miscommunication during the route design. While Worthy popped up quickly, the impact highlighted the physical nature of practice-style contact bleeding into game action.

Kelce, 35, is known for his physical dominance and edge on the field, but seeing him collide with his rookie teammate raised eyebrows. Fans debated whether the hit was intentional, reckless, or simply part of the chaotic flow of football.

“That’s what happens when veterans and rookies cross paths at full speed,” one fan commented online. Others joked that Worthy “earned his official welcome to the NFL” from his own teammate.

For the Chiefs, the moment underscored the growing pains of integrating Worthy into their offensive rhythm. Drafted to bring speed and explosiveness, the rookie now faces the challenge of adjusting to NFL-level contact — even when it comes from one of the league’s most decorated tight ends.

The good news: Worthy was unshaken and remained in the game, while Kelce brushed it off with his trademark swagger. Still, the clip will likely live on as one of Week 1’s most talked-about highlights, a reminder that even within the same team, NFL football is never short on collisions.

One play, one hit, and one viral moment — the Chiefs’ season is already buzzing.

Friends described him as “fearless, focused, and committed to lifting others higher — both in life and in the air.” Puni, whose mother is the younger sister of Fuller's , grew up admiring his cousin’s discipline and sense of purpose. Family members say that influence helped shape his mental toughness and leadership on the field. A relative told local media, “Justin taught Dominick that strength isn’t about being unbreakable — it’s about standing firm when life hits hardest. That’s exactly how Dominick lives and plays today.” Puni, a rookie out of Kansas, has steadily earned the 49ers’ trust along the offensive line, praised for his physicality in the run game and poise in protection. Coaches describe him as “wise beyond his years.” The 49ers have privately offered support and time for Puni and his family, ensuring he can process the loss away from team obligations.
