Travis Kelce hits fan with golf shot during beer-filled celebrity tournament
The mishap occurred during a 'boozy round' on Saturday as Kelce, accompanied by brother Jason, stepped up to the tee on the banks of Lake Tahoe in Nevada, according to the Daily Mail.
Luckily, the injured fan suffered no serious injuries and managed to find laughter despite the errant shot.

This wasn't Kelce's first errant shot that hit a fan either.
At last year's tournament, he hit a fan in the back of the head, but again, the fan appeared ultimately uninjured and Kelce responded with charm by offering a handshake and light-hearted apology.

Kelce, a nine-time Pro Bowler and three-time Super Bowl champion, has continued to embrace public life beyond football, already getting a head start on his second career off the field with the brothers' 'New Heights' podcast.
Kelce, for now, is still best known for his role with the Chiefs, where in 2024 he recorded 97 receptions, 823 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
It was productive despite what was widely considered a down year.

Heading into the 2025 season, the 34‑year‑old remains one of the league's top tight ends and a key target for superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

Like Tucker Kraft, Packers OT Zach Tom still hunting for league-wide recognition entering 2025
Much like Tucker Kraft, who had a breakout 2024 season but wasn't even an honorable mention in ESPN's rankings of tight ends entering 2025, Green Bay Packers right tackle Zach Tom is still hunting league-wide recognition at his position group. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler collected votes of coaches, executives and scouts to rank players at each position group, and Tom -- like Kraft -- received votes within the top 10 of offensive tackles but didn't get enough to be ranked or qualify as an honorable mention. To be fair, the pool of possible selections at offensive tackle is deeper than at tight end, and the position group has several veteran players entrenched as top players. Gaining recognition across the NFL takes time, especially at a premium position, and it shouldn't be surprising that Tom isn't yet universally considered one of the league's top 16 offensive tackles. Among the honorable mentions was Jake Matthews, Ronnie Staley, Kolton Miller and Taylor Decker. One could easily argue that Tom played a better season than all four in 2024, but like Pro Bowl voting, recognition often lags behind by at least a year. Last season, Tom ended the regular season as the fourth-highest graded offensive tackle at Pro Football Focus. He earned an elite run-blocking grade while allowing only three sacks and 24 total pressures across 562 pass-blocking snaps. More impressively, Tom has improved significantly over each of his three NFL seasons. A pleasant surprise as a fill-in player during his rookie season in 2022, Tom emerged as a solid starting right tackle in 2023 and then blossomed as a top-end player at right tackle in 2024. While he wasn't a Pro Bowler, Tom received All-Pro votes at right tackle last season. Rather incredibly, Tom produced the season after missing most of the offseason while recovering from a torn pectoral muscle. The next step for Tom? Signing a big, new deal with the Packers this summer, and then building on his first season as a top player. Truly great players can consistently create great seasons, so Tom must prove his 2024 season was a sustainable peak of performance. If he can, Tom will almost certainly find himself within the top 10 of Fowler's list by this time next year.

Lamar Jackson lands behind Mahomes, Josh Allen, and Joe Burrow in ESPN's QB rankings
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson lands behind Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, and Joe Burrow in ESPN's 2025 QB Rankings Life is all about perspective, and depending on your outlook, Lamar Jackson is either the most dynamic quarterback in the NFL or an elite, yet underachieving player who has won multiple MVP awards but has yet to reach a Super Bowl. Training camps are just hours away from opening up, and that means the finale of positional rankings for different platforms covering the NFL. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler does a remarkable job of polling coaches, executives, and scouts each summer, gathering insight and opinions on the top ten players at every position. Baltimore was well represented at multiple positions, including quarterback, where Jackson made the list but landed behind several players deemed more accomplished. Jackson lands behind Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, and Joe Burrow, coming in at No. 4 for the second straight summer. "A 10-1 touchdown-to-interception ratio [10.3], winning percentage is insane [74.4%] and he's a leading rusher on any team he's on," a veteran NFL coach said. "He's one of a kind." "Best space runner in the NFL, and he's such a good passer now," an NFL defensive coordinator said. "He probably doesn't get enough credit for how he's improved there." Last season, Jackson led the NFL in passer rating (119.6) while becoming the first quarterback in league history with at least 4,000 passing yards and 800 rushing yards after he posted 4,172 yards through the air and 915 yards on the ground. Teaming with Derrick Henry and surrounded by dynamic skill position players, the Ravens had a historic 2024 season offensively, becoming the first in NFL history to achieve both 40 passing and 20 rushing touchdowns, along with 4,000 passing yards and 3,000 rushing yards.

Steelers Insider Lists 3 Players on Roster Bubble Entering Training Camp
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Pittsburgh Steelers are entering the 2025 NFL season as one of the top potential Super Bowl contenders in the AFC. During the offseason, the front office was extremely aggressive. It is clear that the Steelers were loading up to make a run at a championship this season with no other goal in mind. Aaron Rodgers was signed to a one-year deal. The future Hall of Fame quarterback has opened up that the 2025 campaign will be his final NFL season. In addition to the Rodgers move, Pittsburgh also traded for both DK Metcalf and Jalen Ramsey, with tight end Jonnu Smith also being acquired in the Ramsey deal. Head coach Mike Tomlin of the Pittsburgh Steelers looks on during the game against the Kansas City Chiefs at Acrisure Stadium on December 25, 2024 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Photo byEntering training camp this month, the Steelers are going to have a lot of roster competition. On both sides of the football, there will be major battles for a spot on the team. Read more: Peyton Manning Delivers Strong Words on Bears' Caleb Williams With that in mind, reports are starting to take a look at who might and might not make it. When it comes to Pittsburgh, there were three players mentioned as possible roster cuts by The Athletic's Mike DeFabo. "Cordarrelle Patterson, once one of the NFL's elite return men, could find himself on the outside looking in. The Steelers' backfield is full with rookie Kaleb Johnson and offseason signing Kenneth Gainwell joining Jaylen Warren. It remains to be seen if OC Arthur Smith will lobby for the hybrid RB/WR to remain on the roster as a Swiss Army knife," DeFabo wrote. "Other players to watch include DeMarvin Leal, a 2022 third-round pick who never carved out a niche as a tweener on the defense front, and Cole Holcomb, who was once a do-everything, three-down inside linebacker before a gruesome knee injury derailed his career in 2023. I think Holcomb still makes the team, but I'm unsure about the others." Read more: Browns' Shedeur Sanders Sends Cryptic 3-Word Message Before Training Camp Patterson didn't play a very big role last season for the Steelers. He appeared in 13 games, carrying the football 32 times for 135 yards and catching 12 passes for 80 yards and a touchdown. DeMarvin Leal only played in five games and had four total tackles in 2024. As for Holcomb, he would be the biggest surprise of the bunch. The 28-year-old linebacker played in eight games last season, totaling 54 tackles, two forced fumbles, a fumble recovery, and two defended passes. It will be interesting to see what the Pittsburgh roster looks like when it's all said and done. The next month will be very interesting for the Steelers.
