The Kansas City Chiefs made waves during the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft – and not just because of who they picked. By selecting Josh Simmons, a standout tackle from national champion Ohio State, the Chiefs sent a not-so-subtle message to the locker room: stay healthy, or step aside.
It’s not hard to read between the lines. GM Brett Veach didn’t shy away when talking about the state of the offensive line. Speaking to A to Z Sports’ Charles Goldman, Veach stressed that with Patrick Mahomes under center, “you can never have enough of those guys (tackles).” He pointed directly at Jaylon Moore and Jawaan Taylor, both of whom battled injuries during a rocky 2024 campaign.
Sterling Mahomes demonstrates her love for money over typical kid stuff
Taylor missed Week 18 after a knee injury against Houston. Moore, meanwhile, spent time sidelined with a concussion. Their absences forced the Chiefs into tough decisions late in the season – and with Mahomes sacked six times in a Super Bowl LIX loss, protecting their MVP quarterback is now a top priority.
Chiefs shake up the trenches, betting big on Josh Simmons
Enter Simmons. At 6’5″ and 317 pounds, he’s not just a mountain; he’s mobile. NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein called him “a fluid mover” who can handle edge speed – exactly the kind of skillset Kansas City desperately needs. Simmons’ journey, from San Diego State to a title run with Ohio State, proved he could adapt fast and win at the highest level.
Head coach Andy Reid made it clear the team did its homework. Speaking with Sports Illustrated’s Dominic Minchella, Reid said the Chiefs met Simmons at the combine, hosted him for a top-30 visit, and followed up with Zoom interviews right up until draft night. “We wanted to make sure he fits what we do,”Reid explained.
The move doesn’t spell immediate doom forMoore or Taylor, but the challenge is clear. In Kansas City, protecting Mahomes isn’t just a job – it’s the job. And Josh Simmons just walked in ready to compete.

Jalen Hurts still fighting for respect after disappointing QB ranking
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts recently found himself again underappreciated when Pro Football Focus released its preseason rankings, slotting him at No. 5 among NFL quarterbacks. While this marks an improvement-especially after he languished as low as 23rd last season-it still falls short of what many consider his rightful place: among the elite. Even with a Super Bowl appearance and an MVP-level year behind him, narrative seems to stubbornly resist acknowledging his full value.Hurts' résumé speaks volumes: in 2024 he had a a 103.7 passer rating, 18 touchdown passes to just five interceptions, and more than 630 rushing yards accompanied by 14 scores on the ground. Notably, he's one of only two quarterbacks since 2020 to log double-digit rushing touchdowns every season-a rare blend of dual-threat playmaking. Yet PFF's analytical model, which highly prioritizes passing efficiency, still pegs him behind names like […]
Taylor Swift opens up about Travis Kelce during Florida hospital visit
Taylor Swift made a surprise afternoon visit to Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital in Hollywood, Florida, this past Friday, bringing an outpouring of emotion, smiles, and inspiration to young patients and their families. The 35-year-old global icon, spending the summer in Florida with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, had just attended Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final before deciding to spend some time with her fans and make their day.Swift spent approximately four hours moving from room to room-signing autographs, taking selfies, offering hugs, and even FaceTiming families who couldn't be present. It wasn't just an act of celebrity benevolence; it was a deeply personal mission. "This has been such an amazing day," she said in a moment captured on TikTok as she introduced herself to a transfusion patient. Dr. Jill Whitehouse, chief of surgery at the hospital, […]
Patriotismo, bateria na torcida e entretenimento: como é um jogo de futebol longe dos holofotes do Mundial de Clubes
Enquanto Messi estreava no Mundial de Clubes, no empate do Inter Miami com o Al Ahly, o futebol local nos Estados Unidos acontecia.

Groves: Fury and Joshua can only fight each other
If Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury are to fight on, they should box each other, says former world champion George Groves.Joshua has not boxed since September of last year when his bid to become a three-time heavyweight world titlist ended in a crushing fifth-round knockout loss to IBF belt-holder Daniel Dubois. Last year Fury lost two points decisions to unbeaten and still unified champion Oleksandr Usyk and announced his retirement in January.He has though regularly released footage of himself training, which has fuelled speculation about a potential comeback.Dillian Whyte, cleared to return to boxing after a failed drug test, has opted to box Moses Itauma on August 16, rather than pursue a once mooted rematch with AJ. That leaves Joshua without a clear option for his next fight. Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player Boxing promoter […]
