One of the best portions of running a podcast is that the host can say whatever they want, irrespective of any backlash. They can form opinions about whatever topic they want, regardless of an instant backlash.
That's what Kansas City Chiefs tight end
Travis Kelce
has on his mind whenever he runs his New Heights podcast show with his older brother, Jason Kelce. They form opinions. One such opinion revolved around the leading quarterback of Team USA flag football, Darrell Doucette. Travis Kelce said, 'Is this guy afraid of competition?'

Travis Kelce openly challenged Doucette, quarterback leading the Team USA of flag football, on his New Heights podcast (Episode 141),
'May the best players play. Is this guy afraid of competition? Just have a tryout, and the best players make the team. He(Darrell Doucette)'s just boxing out other people from joining the sport because they haven't played this specific style of football? We got some guys that can do some crazy stuff with the ball in their hands, man.'

After openly challenging Darrell Doucette, Travis Kelce calls Doucette's highlights f**king epic
Amidst setting an open challenge, Chiefs TE praised Darrell Doucette, 'Watching Darrell's highlights, even his highlights are f**king epic. Lamar(Jackson) would be f**k, nobody's catching him. Lamar got stocky. What if we hold like a combine?'
Jason Kelce wanted to calm down a heated discussion, or did he not?

Jason said, 'Let's just have these guys play an NFL team that's picked, and may the best team win and represent the USA. If these guys are the best, they should represent the USA.
But I don't know anything about flag football, I feel really confident they're not the best.'
Darrell Doucette would be 38 during the 2028 Summer Olympics, and he says he doesn't need other guys
By the time the 2028 Summer Olympics set in, Travis Kelce would be 38, and so would Darrell Doucette be - 38! Nobody knows who'll be on the roster. But an open challenge sounds exciting! Both for flag football fans and for NFL fans!
Fighting for the QB1 position at the Team USA of flag football - where Baltimore Ravens star quarterback Lamar Jackson and Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes would be considered - sounds exciting, too! But not too much for Darrell Doucette, who's the current QB1 at the Team USA of the flag football.
On May 26, Doucette told the Washington Post, 'This is a sport that we've played for a long time, and we feel like we are doing the best at it, and we don't need other guys.' The other guys here are the NFL guys! No wonder, Taylor Swift's NFL boyfriend was challenging Darrell Doucette!

NFL 2025 prediction: 12 teams still chasing their first Super Bowl – who's poised to break through?
Live Events (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel As the 2025 NFL season approaches, 12 franchises are still in search of their elusive first Super Bowl title. While some are knocking on the door, others are rebuilding from the ground up. Here's a look at the teams best positioned to finally break through, and the challenges they face along the way.1. Buffalo Bills Despite four past Super Bowl losses, the Bills remain top contenders. Josh Allen continues to play at an MVP level, supported by a high-powered offense. However, injuries and a retooled defense could create early turbulence. Still, Buffalo enters the season as AFC East favorites — with a legitimate shot at history.2. Detroit LionsThe Lions surged in 2023 with a 15–2 record and a deep playoff run. Yet, with key staff departures and a tough schedule ahead, staying elite won't be easy. Frank Ragnow's absence could hurt pass protection, and defensive depth is still a concern. If healthy, Detroit has the talent to return to the NFC Championship — and beyond.3. Minnesota Vikings Minnesota boasts regular-season success but lacks postseason results. Rookie QB J.J. McCarthy brings promise and uncertainty. The offense is loaded with playmakers, but defensive issues, particularly in the secondary, remain unresolved. Consistency and growth from McCarthy will determine their ceiling.4. Cincinnati Bengals After missing the playoffs in 2024, the Bengals are eager to rebound. Joe Burrow returns healthy, paired with stars Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. Defensive upgrades are needed, and Trey Hendrickson's contract status adds tension. Still, with their offensive core intact, Cincinnati can't be counted out.5. Houston Texans Despite some regression last season, the Texans made playoff noise. C.J. Stroud is entering year three with upgraded protection and targets. DeMeco Ryans continues to impress as head coach. If the Texans can improve defensively at the goal line, they could push deeper into January.6. Los Angeles ChargersThe arrival of Jim Harbaugh signals a new era for the Chargers. Justin Herbert remains a steady force under center, with better support in the run game. The defense shined last season, but maintaining that performance will be key. A playoff berth is within reach — but far from guaranteed.7. Arizona CardinalsThe Cardinals' hot start in 2024 fizzled late. Kyler Murray remains an enigma, brilliant at times, frustrating at others. Rookie WR Marvin Harrison Jr. adds firepower. Both lines appear stable, and defensive additions show promise. Arizona needs immediate impact from its rookies to stay competitive.8. Atlanta FalconsVeteran Kirk Cousins leads the offense — for now — as rookie Michael Penix Jr. waits in the wings. Atlanta boasts solid O-line play and intriguing skill players, though Kyle Pitts must bounce back. Defensive youth and inconsistent run defense pose challenges, but a weak NFC South could open the door.9. Jacksonville JaguarsThe Jags are betting on raw talent this year. Dual-role star Travis Hunter brings excitement, while Brian Thomas Jr. adds explosiveness. Still, Trevor Lawrence must elevate his game under new OC Liam Coen. A lack of defensive experience might hold them back, but a division title is realistic.10. Carolina PanthersBryce Young showed late-season flashes with three overtime wins. New WR Tetairoa McMillan gives him a reliable target, but the defense remains a major question mark after frequent blowouts last year. Progress is evident, but Carolina is still a few pieces away from true contention.11. Tennessee TitansThe Titans remain in rebuild mode with rookie QB Cam Ward expected to start. Offensively, they've improved, but the defense and special teams need major upgrades. While the AFC South offers opportunity, Tennessee is likely a year or two away from serious playoff hopes.12. Cleveland BrownsThe quarterback situation remains murky, with Kenny Pickett, Joe Flacco, and newcomers all vying for snaps. Coach Kevin Stefanski has kept the team competitive, and the defense — led by Myles Garrett — is strong. However, offensive cohesion and lingering issues from the Deshaun Watson trade continue to cloud their future.
