Football fans joked that Xavier Worthy was left underwhelmed by the Kansas City Chiefs' locker room and training facilities, which were criticized by players earlier this year.
The former Texas Longhorns star, who was drafted by the reigning Super Bowl champions last week, had a blank expression on his face in a clip of his first visit to the team's headquarters.
'It’s always funny when these big time Division 1 football players visit the facilities of the NFL team that drafted them and have to pretend it’s not an absolute dump compared to their schools’ setup,' one person joked on X, referencing the University of Texas' $7million locker room.
'That face when he sees our old a** practice facility,' another said of Worthy's reaction, while a third person added: 'I can feel the disappointment through my phone.'
'Him seeing this after the facilities at UT is hilarious,' a separate user wrote.

In the video, the wide receiver was seen chatting to coach Andy Reid, before walking around the locker room and other facilities.
'Xavier Worthy here at Chiefs kingdom, excited to get to work,' he said in the clip.
Earlier this year, the team was slammed by its players in an anonymous survey commissioned by the NFLPA.
The Chiefs received the second-worst report card in the NFL, with a notable F grade for their locker room, training staff and nutritionist/dietician.
According to the NFLPA's summary of the report card, players were told that locker room renovations would come after the 2022 season, however that promise was reportedly not kept.
Worthy previously played for the University of Texas, which has a state-of-the-art locker room
Players also felt the training room was 'significantly understaffed,' with only 43 percent of respondents believing they get an adequate amount of one-on-one treatment.
It's a stark contrast to the state-of-the-art facilities Worthy previously enjoyed at the University of Texas.
The locker room, which was renovated for $7m in 2017, boasts stainless steel lockers equipped with anti-bacterial features.
The custom-designed, glowing lockers, which cost $8,700 each, also include 37-inch televisions featuring the players' names.
