Travis Kelce Reveals the ‘Craziest Part' of Dating Taylor Swift
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is entering his 13th NFL season and his third since he began dating 14-time Grammy winner Taylor Swift.
He's already totaled 1,004 receptions for 12,151 receiving yards and 77 touchdowns — and he's not done yet.
On the personal side, Kelce's life changed significantly in 2023 when he and Swift made things public. While he was already widely recognized as one of the greatest tight ends in NFL history, his fame skyrocketed to a new level.
The three-time Super Bowl champion has been under a microscope in the public eye, much like Swift has been throughout her career.
Kelce spoke about that aspect of his relationship on the latest episode of the "Bussin' With The Boys" podcast, calling it the "craziest part."
"Yeah, it's just the being, I don't want to say being, it's just the paparazzi that's probably the only thing I didn't really grasp until you're in it, and that's probably the craziest part though. Like I'm just playing golf and all of a sudden in the trees there's a [expletive] guy with a camera and you're just like 'Oh [expletive], like I got to go to the restroom now I can't just go over here,' You know what I mean? Never been ashamed of slamming beers, just don't want my meat on Page Six."
Kelce has a point. He's always been outgoing and open, but now he has to be mindful that anything he says or does can be all over the internet within minutes.
With Chiefs training camp starting in three weeks, that only means one thing: the public appearances won't stop and TV broadcasts will soon be back to showing Swift in her suite at Kelce's games, supporting him as he looks to win his fourth Super Bowl.

Jason Licht shares how scouting Johnny Manziel led him to a franchise legend
Sometimes, too much of a good thing is a bad thing. For Johnny Manziel and any potential to be drafted earlier, by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, that is precisely what happened. Bucs GM Jason Licht was a guest on Chris Long's Green Light podcast, and among the topics they discussed were Mike Evans and Licht's approach to the 2014 NFL Draft. 2014 was Licht's first year as general manager of the Buccaneers, and to say that the team had quite a few areas of opportunity to improve was an understatement. Starting at quarterback was journeyman Josh McCown, who was on his sixth NFL team and had a notable run in the UFL in 2010, leaving a significant area of opportunity. What better way to make a splash in your first NFL Draft as GM than to select who you think will be the face of your franchise for the next decade and run your offense? That is exactly where Licht's head was, "I really went into that draft wanting to draft a quarterback," Licht recalled. The kicker, flashing back to that draft class, the quarterback position was not a highlight. Blake Bortles, Jimmy Garoppolo, Derek Carr, and Manziel headlined the quarterback class, with "Johnny Football" getting most of the spotlight. "I really wanted to draft Johnny Manziel, and so I locked myself in my office watching quarterbacks that year," the Bucs GM told Long. "I'd wake up and say ok, I have to watch Johnny Manziel again, so I'd watch it again, and every time I would watch, Mike [Evans] would make these spectacular catches." As the Buccaneers' GM continued the story of his shift, his conversations also shifted. "That was the game where Mike did this and this," would be the reply to comments about Manziel's game tape. From that point on, Licht knew that Evans was his guy, not Manziel, and the rest is history. NFL history, actually.

Jets UDFA DB Dean Clark is underdog worth watching
The New York Jets are slated to enter training camp with 15 undrafted free-agent rookies on their 90-man roster. That's the number of UDFAs they agreed to terms with following the 2025 NFL draft. One underdog worth monitoring throughout camp is former Fresno State defensive back Dean Clark. Clark agreed to an undrafted deal with the Jets that guaranteed him $160,000. Jets GM Darren Mougey likely faced competition for his signature and made him a strong offer. It increases Clark's chances to make the 53-man roster coming out of training camp. Clark posted phenomenal numbers at Fresno State's pro day. Clark has decent size at 6-foot, 208 pounds. He ran the 40-yard dash in a stellar 4.51 seconds, and also leaped a 41-inch vertical and 11-foot broad jump at his pre-draft athletic showcase. He wasn't invited to the NFL combine. Clark began his collegiate career at Kent State. He experienced a breakout season in 2021, recording 117 tackles. After missing the majority of 2022, he transferred to Fresno State ahead of 2023. Clark was productive in two seasons at Fresno State, posting 146 tackles, four interceptions, and nine pass breakups. The Jets are deep at safety. Veterans Tony Adams and Andre Cisco are penciled into starting roles. Rookie fourth-rounder Malachi Moore is likely the top rotational option off the bench. Jarius Monroe and Jaylin Simpson are also contending for roster spots. Clark has his work cut out for him, but the rookie UDFA possesses the athleticism and production to make an impression at camp.

Tennessee Titans again ranked as worst team in NFL
The Tennessee Titans have nowhere to go but up. After finishing the 2024 season with a 3-14 record and the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft, there is a new sense of direction in Nashville, especially with Cam Ward under center. But the Titans still have a long way to go before they're viewed in a different light. In a recent NFL offseason power ranking from Yahoo! Sports, the Titans once again were placed as the worst team across the entire league. The Titans could have traded that pick or taken Travis Hunter or Abdul Carter, but they knew the best path back to relevance was hitting on a pick at quarterback. That's why Cam Ward, who set an NCAA record with 158 touchdown passes at Incarnate Word, Washington State and then Miami, is a Titan. There's a long way to go and Ward won't fix all of that. There were a few bright spots on the roster — Jeffery Simmons is a star on the defensive line, 2024 rookies DT T'Vondre Sweat and CB Jarvis Brownlee Jr. had promising debuts, Tony Pollard and Calvin Ridley had 1,000-yard seasons in a bad situation — but rebuilding will take a while. If Ward hits, at least that's a start. The Titans still have a long way to go before they're considered serious contenders again, but they seem to be taking steps in the right direction. Some of their questionable offseason moves, such as signing Dan Moore Jr. to an $82 million deal, will need to pay off big time. With that said, things can turn around quickly if Ward turns out to be worthy of the No. 1 overall pick. Several teams in recent memory have made quick turnarounds because they got the quarterback position right. Given the fact that the Titans are also in a wide-open AFC South division, there's plenty of room for growth as soon as 2025.
