It seems Gracie Hunt found love in a familiar place.
The daughter of Chiefs owner Clark Hunt appeared to hard launch her relationship with Derek Green, the son of former Super Bowl champion quarterback Trent Green, who spent six seasons with Kansas City, on Instagram this week.
Hunt, formerly Miss Kansas USA, included a series of snapshots that showed the couple holding hands together in a carousel post from a recent vacation.

'My heart is full. 🫶🏼 Grateful for some much-needed time to rest, reflect, and reset after a whirlwind few months post-football season,' she wrote. 'So thankful for time with the people who keep me grounded, remind me I'm loved, and never fail to make me laugh. Swipe for a few favorite snapshots from life lately. ☺️.'

Green works as a sports operations manager in Kansas City, according to his LinkedIn.
Hunt explained that she took time to rest and reset after last season ended with Kansas City's 40-22 Super Bowl loss to the Eagles in February, which ruined the Chiefs' chance at a historic three-peat.

Last month, Hunt hinted at a romance in a separate Instagram Story, which featured her and an unidentified suitor hugging with their backs turned to the camera while overlooking the Chiefs' home Arrowhead Stadium.
'After meeting 7.5 years ago in this place … all along there was some invisible string,' she captioned the post and referenced the lyrics to Taylor Swift's 2020 song, 'Invisible String.'

Three Wisconsin Badgers appear on PFF's list of the NFL's top centers for 2025 season
Three Wisconsin Badgers appear on PFF's list of the NFL's top centers for 2025 season A trio of former Wisconsin Badgers landed on ProFootballFocus' list of the top 32 centers entering the 2025 NFL season. Captained by Super Bowl-winning center Creed Humphrey, PFF's hierarchy features former Badger standouts Joe Tippmann, Tyler Biadasz and Tanor Bortolini. Tippmann, who is entering his third campaign representing the New York Jets, landed at No. 11 on the ranking between Arizona Cardinal Hjalte Froholdt (No. 10) and Cleveland Brown Ethan Pocic (No. 12). The Fort Wayne, Indiana, native has started in 31 of 33 career games in New York, including all 17 games at center a season ago with four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers at the helm. The Jets, with building star Breece Hall and Badger alumnus Braelon Allen in the backfield, rushed 363 times for 1,561 yards and eight scores behind Tippmann in 2024. Here's PFF's analysis on how the 2022 Honorable mention All-Big Ten center stacks up this coming season: "Tippmann took a big step forward in his second NFL season, earning a top-10 PFF overall grade (73.4) among centers. He improved his figure by more than 10 points on the grading scale over his rookie campaign, which bodes well for his ability to continue his career progression at just 24 years old." Amherst, Wisconsin, product Tyler Biadasz was the second Badger on PFF's recent list at No. 15. The five-year NFL veteran and 2022 Pro Bowler made 49 starts across four seasons with the Dallas Cowboys before suiting up in 15 games with the Washington Commanders during the 2024 slate. With rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels at the helm and both Brian Robinson Jr. and Austin Ekeler in the backfield, Washington rushed for 2,619 yards and 25 scores in 2024, with Biadasz leading the blocking effort. Only the Eagles and Ravens totaled more yardage on the ground. Here's PFF's take on the veteran: "Biadasz, in his first year with the Commanders, started off the 2024 season on a high note. Through the first nine games, his 79.3 PFF pass-blocking grade charted as the second-highest mark at the position. While that momentum faded as the season went on, and as Biadasz dealt with injury and illness, he still managed to finish with solid marks as a run blocker and a pass protector." Fresh off his first season with the Indianapolis Colts, Tanor Bortolini earned the No. 30 designation on the annual ranking. The Wisconsin product started in five of 12 total appearances for the Colts, largely contributing due to injuries at the position. Nonetheless, PFF's staff did not ignore the impression he made. "With the injuries to Ryan Kelly this past season, it was Bortolini and veteran Danny Pinter who stepped in to shoulder the load. Both are expected to compete for the starting job this summer. Bortolini showed a bit more of a well-rounded game in his first year as a pro, albeit on a limited sample. He produced a 64.0-plus PFF grade as both a run blocker and a pass protector, which may bode well for his chances of taking control of the starting job in 2025." As of June 6, all three players are poised to start for their respective franchises this coming season. The Colts, Jets and Commanders all kick-start their 2025 seasons on Sept. 7.

How to watch Gotham FC vs. Kansas City Current in nationally-televised NWSL action
Much like the past half-decade of professional football, women's soccer goes through Kansas City right now. The Current hit Saturday with the best record in the NWSL, winners of three straight matches. They face off against recent Concacaf trophy-lifters Gotham FC, in front of one of a New Jersey crowd. It's a weekend broadcast TV spot, another cool moment for a league still in its growth phase. Advertisement This match will also be streamed on Paramount+. Kansas City has looked decidedly better in the early going. The Current have netted 22 goals across 10 matches, powered by three of the NWSL's top-10 scorers. Malawian forward Temwa Chawinga has a goal in each of the team's past three contests, Brazilian midfielder Debinha is a brilliant creator on offense and American Lo'eau LaBonta is fresh off her first career USWNT caps. The Current hold the NWSL's longest active winning streak Saturday, and they also pulled off the longest streak of the season by winning their first five matches. They have a commanding plus-15 goal differential; the second-best, San Diego, is plus-10. Gotham FC is in a funny spot. It is the only team with a losing record and a positive goal differential in domestic play. And yet, this club just won the inaugural Concacaf W Champions Cup, defiantly beating Club América and then Tigres in back-to-back matches against Mexican opponents. Now back to the NWSL, where Gotham hasn't won since April 26 in Washington. The New York-New Jersey reppers are led by the Spanish star Esther González. She delivered the 82nd-minute, tournament-winning strike against Tigres two weeks ago, and she's now tied with Orlando's Barbra Banda for the league lead in goals. The rest of the attack surrounding its lead has been underperforming, with five combined goals to González's seven. That limited attack has its work cut out for it. Kansas City's defense is concrete and brick. Brazilian goalkeeper Lorena is in the 93rd percentile for goals against and crosses stopped, per Football Reference. She leads all goalies in save percentage. Streaming links in this article are provided by partners of The Athletic. Restrictions may apply. The Athletic maintains full editorial independence.
