All About Xavier Worthy's Mom, Nicky Jones

Xavier Worthy has one proud mother.

While the former Texas Longhorns wide receiver was selected in the NFL Draft by the Kansas City Chiefs (and got Taylor Swift’s endorsement in the process), Worthy had his mom Nicky Jones by his side as he celebrated the success.

Born on April 27, 2003, Worthy is the eldest of Jones’ three children. From his college career to now joining a Super Bowl winning team, Worthy’s mother has been there for him through it all.

Even before getting the call from the Chiefs, Worthy had made a name for himself in football over the years. During his first year at Texas, he broke numerous records, including 261 receiving yards. At the end of his freshman year, he was named a freshman All-American by The Athletic and 247Sports, according to his bio on the Texas website.

Jones constantly gushes about his son, praising his athletic achievements as well as his character.

Here’s everything to know about Xavier Worthy’s mom.

On Mother’s Day 2022. she shared the photo of her children sitting together on the couch and writing, “My 3. This will forever be my favorite picture… I remember sitting across from them and thinking how grateful I am to be THEIR MOM. No matter how hard it is or becomes, there is nothing I wouldn’t do for them 🖤 I will go to war for these three! 💪🏾😘”

Jones constantly posts photos from Worthy’s games on social media, a tradition that only continues now that he’s arrived at Arrowhead Stadium. In April 2022. she shared a cute family photo of her children with Worthy after the game as they all represented the Texas Orange.

Later that year, she noted that she celebrated her birthday by watching her son play soccer. “The best birthday ever!” she captioned the photo wearing his son’s jersey with an orange heart emoticon.

She spent her birthday in October 2024 the same way, this time cheering on her son as he played with the Chiefs.

After Worthy scored the touchdown, he ran to the sideline to give his mom the game ball. The Chiefs shared a clip of the sweet moment in a post on X (formerly Twitter).

During the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine, Worthy made NFL history by running the 40-yard dash in 4.21 seconds, the fastest time ever recorded. As a proud mom, Jones celebrated her son’s great achievement on X, writing, “MY SON is the fastest guy in @NFL Combine history! 🤯 #historymade”, which the official NFL X account republished.

She says being his mom is one of the ‘greatest joys in life’

Of course, Jones isn’t just proud of her son’s athletic abilities — she also praises his incredible character. In January, she posted a dedication to her son along with their selfie. “Thank you for representing yourself, your family and your city the way you have for the last 3 years,” she wrote on X. “There are no problems off the field. Played every game, even when he was injured. Persevered in bad times and remained humble in good times. Being your mom is one of my greatest joys in life! So grateful!”

In another post from December 2022, she echoed the same sentiment as she shared a black and white photo of them hugging. “I love success. It’s easy to celebrate. But real life is full of challenges,” she wrote. “I am most PROUD when I see how you deal with adversity, pressure, nastiness, hatred. It brings out the worst in most people, but you handle it all so well. My biggest flaw is that I call you MY SON! 🤍💪🏾”
