Former Texas Longhorns receiver Xavier Worthy has had a memorable start to his NFL career, but delivered one of his most notable moments in Super Bowl LIX against the Philadelphia Eagles in New Orleans on Sunday.

In the third quarter with Kansas City trailing 34-0, Worthy reeled in a 24-yard touchdown to cut into the massive deficit. The Chiefs failed on the ensuing two-point conversion.

The touchdown made Worthy the first Texas Longhorn ever to score a touchdown in the Super Bowl.
