Chiefs are predicted to select Mississippi DL in the latest USA Today mock draft
The Kansas City Chiefs could potentially add a long-term starter in the NFL Draft next month as rumors swirl around the league. One of the latest suggestions circulating is from USA Today's Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz regarding their depth on the defensive line.
According to Middlehurst-Schwartz, the Chiefs are a likely destination for former Mississippi standout Walter Nolen with their first-round pick.
"Further investment in the offensive line can't be entirely ruled out here, but trading Joe Thuney to the Bears and ponying up big for Jaylon Moore might wrap up the team's offseason plan of drastic action for its biggest vulnerability." wrote Middlehurst-Schwartz "Dropping Nolen in next to Chris Jones would ensure opponents will have their hands full with the Chiefs' interior line for some time."
Nolen was named First-team Associated Press All-American, First-team All-SEC, and tied for the team lead with 14 tackles for loss. He was a finalist for the Outland Trophy (the nation's top lineman). He started all 13 games in 2024, tallying 48 tackles and 6.5 sacks.

Mary Lou Retton pleads no contest, fined $100 for DUI, says she's committed to make positive changes

FAIRMONT, (AP) — American gymnastics icon Mary Lou Retton on Tuesday entered a no contest plea to driving under the influence stemming from a May traffic stop in her hometown of Fairmont. A Marion County judge fined her $100, consistent with sentencing guidelines for first-time, non-aggravated offenses, her attorney Edmund J. Rollo said in a statement. In a statement released through her attorney, the 57-year-old Retton said she took full responsibility for her actions. 'What happened was completely unacceptable. I make no excuses,' she said. 'To my family, friends and my fans: I have let you down, and for that I am deeply sorry. I am determined to learn and grow from this experience, and I am committed to making positive changes in my life. I truly appreciate your concern, encouragement and continued support.' Fairmont police stopped Retton on May 17 following a report about a person in a Porsche driving erratically. According to the criminal complaint, Retton smelled of alcohol and was slurring her words, and she failed a field sobriety test. Officers also reported observing a container of wine in the passenger seat. Retton was 16 when she became the first American female gymnast to win the all-around at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. She also won two silver and two bronze medals to help bring gymnastics into the mainstream in the United States. In 2023, Retton's family disclosed she was recuperating from a rare form of pneumonia that landed her in intensive care. Doctors found her oxygen levels dangerously low. Her medical team considered putting her on a ventilator as her conditioned worsened. Retton went on oxygen treatment and, after weeks in the hospital, improved enough to be sent home. ___ AP sports:

Olympic wrestling gold medalist Amit Elor to miss world championships team qualifier

Olympic wrestling gold medalist Amit Elor will not compete at an event to determine the 2025 World Championships team on Saturday due to health reasons. 'I recently found out that I was anemic during the World Team Trials (May 16-17), which added up to be too much with my current injuries,' was posted on Elor's social media. 'In the meantime, I'm committed to safely working on strengthening my wrestling. I'm also very excited to contribute to the wrestling community by being more available for camps and clinics ❤️ Wishing the very best to all the wrestlers competing this weekend! No matter what, I'm sure we're going to have an incredible team representing us at the world stage. To my Final X competitor, @glaudealex (Alexandria Glaude) you got this and I'll be cheering for you at worlds!' Last August, Elor became at age 20 the youngest Olympic wrestling gold medalist in American history, extending a five-year, 82-match win streak. After competing at 68kg in Paris, she moved back up to 72kg (a non-Olympic weight) this year and qualified for this Saturday's Final X. Elor was due to face Glaude, 28, for the 72kg spot on the team for this September's World Championships in Croatia. Nick Zaccardi,
