Monday Night Football sideline reporter Lisa Salters shared a heartfelt message from Worthy, in which he spoke about the close relationship he shares with his mom.

“Xavier Worthy says his mom Nicky is his best friend,” Salters mentioned. “He says that she had him when she was 18; so she’s like really his sister. He said, ‘Our relationship is really close. She’s meant the world to me. She’s just been there for me every step of the way. We have that special bond. Talk all the time.'”
