Graham Walker, half-brother of Patrick Mahomes, gets tryout at Chiefs rookie minicamp
The Chiefs are conducting a rookie minicamp this weekend. With 87 players participating — 60 on a tryout basis — it's hard to stand out.
One player has a built-in advantage.
As noted by ArrowheadPride.com, Rice tight end Graham Walker is taking part. He's the half-brother of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
The son of Pat Mahomes Sr., Walker transferred to Rice last year, with the initial plan to play receiver. He later switched to tight end.
Walker, listed at 6'3" and 227 pounds, caught 24 passes for 252 yards in 2024. In 2023 at Brown, Walker had 44 catches for 515 yards and six touchdowns.
His best season statistically came as a freshman in 2021, when Walker caught 53 passes for 658 yards and six touchdowns.

Video: This ground-shaking, first-round slam knockout at LFA 210 is a must-see
Video: This ground-shaking, first-round slam knockout at LFA 210 is a must-see What goes up, must come down. If you're applying that saying to a mixed martial arts competition, when a human body is lifted off the ground, the result is usually violent. At LFA 210 at Freedom Hall in Louisville, Ky., Steve Collins found himself defending an armbar in the first round of his 152-pound catchweight fight against Gaberial Brown. There are a few techniques available to fend off the limb submission, but Collins (5-0) opted for the most savage option. Collins got his feet under him, and deadlifted Brown (4-3) high in the air, and then dropped him on his head, "Rampage" Jackson style. Brown appeared out cold from the impact with the canvas, but a few follow-up punches were landed before the referee could rush in to stop the fight. Check out video of the knockout below (via X): Collins, 24, is building a fantastic start to his young career with three straight wins and two first-round finishes under the LFA banner. If he keeps things up, chances are he could land in the UFC soon.

Chiefs' Travis Kelce Mom Lands Major Spot On Reality TV Show
Chiefs' Travis Kelce Mom Lands Major Spot On Reality TV Show originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has taken much of the family spotlight this offseason. His relationship with pop music princess Taylor Swift continues to capture the hearts of the many while the build-up to his farewell tour increases by the day. Kelce will retire from the NFL after this season. He, Patrick Mahomes and the rest of Chiefs Kingdom hope to pull out one more run to the Super Bowl. When that time ultimately comes for him to move on from the game, don't expect the Kelce family to go away from the public eye. Travis and his brother, Jason, co-host the "New Heights" podcast which has been quite successful. Even the family's matriarch Donna Kelce has found her way into the spotlight. In fact, she had a major announcement this week that will be sure to provide more Kelce content. Both Donna and Jason will participate in season four of the reality TV series "The Traitors." She made her announcement official with a post on Instagram captioned, "Sundays were just the beginning. I raised the two playmakers, but now it's mamas turn." The show will begin streaming on Peacock and has begun filming in Scotland. Donna and Jason will be joined by a number of reality TV stars from other programs along with a group of celebrities including Michael Rapoport and Tara Lipinksi. "The Traitors" splits contestants up into two categories of "Faithfuls" and "Traitors." The cast must decipher which among them are the "Traitors," picking a player each night to "murder." While Donna and Jason embark on this exciting new venture, Travis remains at home preparing for his final season. The next step on that journey comes next week when the Chiefs get started with their mandatory minicamp on June 17. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 13, 2025, where it first appeared.

Alex Cooper's Former Coach Says She Has ‘No Recollection' of Harassment Alleged in ‘Call Me Alex'
After 'Call Her Daddy' host Alex Cooper alleged she suffered years worth of sexual harassment from Boston University soccer coach Nancy Feldman, former assistant coach Casey Brown said she had 'no recollection' of the incidents mentioned in Hulu's 'Call Her Alex' docuseries. Cooper told The Boston Globe in an interview published Friday that, amidst a mononucleosis outbreak, she was the only player called into the office to explain 'who' she'd been with and 'how' she got it. The podcaster said she pleaded with Brown, ''Casey, help me',' but instead, Brown 'did nothing about it' and simply turned away. In a statement to the Globe, Brown said she had 'no recollection of what has been suggested' by Cooper. Brown went on to say, 'But let me be absolutely clear: I would never ignore, dismiss or turn away from anyone — a player, a teammate, a friend, a family member — who sought my help in any capacity. As a coach, I understood the weight of my responsibility to protect my players and act accordingly. The suggestion that I would do otherwise is completely false.' The university also issued a statement on Friday, insisting that it has a 'zero-tolerance policy for sexual harassment,'as well as a 'robust system of resources, support and staff dedicated to student well-being' and 'a thorough reporting process through our Equal Opportunity Office.' 'We encourage members of our community to report any concerns, and we remain committed to fostering a safe and secure campus environment for all,' the statement concluded. Cooper was on the Boston team from 2013 to 2015 with a full athletic scholarship. As she explained in 'Call Her Alex,' she did not feel she could speak out as it would jeopardize that scholarship. In the two-part Hulu series, the podcaster said she noticed Feldman 'really starting to fixate on me, way more than any other teammate of mine, and it was confusing,' during her sophomore year of college. She added that her coach leveraged field time in exchange for stories about Cooper's sex life and dating history. Cooper claimed she also made specific comments about her body and 'always wanted to be alone with me.' She also alleged in the documentary that the BU athletic director Drew Marrochello, who per the university's website still serves in this position, declined to hear the evidence of harassment when her parents tried to present it to him. According to Boston University, Feldman retired in 2022. Toward the end of filming the documentary, Cooper said she found out that other women younger than her experienced the same abuse she did at the hands of her soccer coach. 'Everything changed for me that day,' she said in an episode of her podcast this week. The post Alex Cooper's Former Coach Says She Has 'No Recollection' of Harassment Alleged in 'Call Me Alex' appeared first on TheWrap.
