Eagles' A.J. Brown proposes, with assist from John Legend
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown earned one ring earlier this year and gave away another over the weekend.
Brown, 27, announced Sunday that he proposed to his girlfriend, Kelsey Riley, at the Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia. In attendance on Saturday were several teammates, friends, family and Grammy Award winner John Legend to serenade Riley on piano with "All of Me."
Riley, however, posted on social media that she did not "hear a thing he was singing," and Brown had to note that Legend was there.
Legend made sure all parties will remember that he, indeed, was in attendance.
"Congratulations to you both," Legend wrote in the comments of Brown and Riley's joint post. "Thank you for including me."
Love apparently is in the air in "The City of Brotherly Love," as two-time All-Pro Lane Johnson recently announced his own engagement to Kelsey Holmer. Star quarterback Jalen Hurts also recently was married to Bry Burrows.
Brown, Hurts and Johnson helped the Eagles defeat the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX in February.

2026 5-star DL has canceled his LSU OV after visiting Texas A&M
2026 5-star DL has canceled his LSU OV after visiting Texas A&M One of Texas A&M's priority prospects in the 2026 recruiting class took an official visit to College Station this weekend, as five-star defensive lineman Lamar Brown, who was a frequent visitor during the spring period, is inching closer to his commitment date on Thursday, July 10. After was had been deemed as a highly successful visit this weekend, Brown took to social media to deliver a revealing message that could be good news for the Aggies. "Think this one close the book...." While coach Mike Elko and his staff have a ways to go to land the highly coveted lineman, things got even more interesting on Sunday night after Brown reportedly canceled his upcoming official visit to LSU on June 20, as the Louisiana native is now likely considering Texas A&M and, possibly Miami or Texas going forward, with the Aggies in the lead. Again, nothing is set in stone, but knowing that Brown does not have an official visit set up before his July 10 commitment looks like great news for Elko and his staff, would win one of the most significant recruiting battles during my time covering the program. Regarding the future of Texas A&M's defensive line, which includes 2025 signee Marco Jones, Landon Rink, DJ Sanders, and Chace Sims, adding another elite prospect with NFL potential as soon as he steps on campus is certainly a sign that the Aggies' will dominate in the trenches for the next three seasons.

Kansas City Chiefs TE Travis Kelce receives a heartfelt message from DC Steve Spagnuolo
Kansas City Chiefs TE Travis Kelce receives a heartfelt message from DC Steve Spagnuolo The successful NFL career of Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was very close to ending after Super Bowl LIX. He returns for a thirteenth season and hears praise from teammates and the coaching staff as he heads into 2025. During the recent episode of New Heights, the Kelce brothers were joined by Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, who shared his appreciation for the Chiefs' legendary tight end. "I'm not saying this because you're sitting here," Spagnuolo said, "Trav, but you're one of the purest, down-to-earth megastars that anybody could ever meet." Spagnuolo joined the Chiefs' coaching staff in 2019 and has led a resurgence in the defense, making it one of the best units in the league. He may not coach Kelce directly, but he does practice against him often, building mutual appreciation between the two. "You're the best," Kelce said. "That means the most coming from you, coach." Kelce and Spagnuolo aim to unite the team for another trip to the Super Bowl.
