Former DB Erik Coleman weighs in on the pressure Patrick Mahomes faced in Super Bowl LIX
"I was not surprised, and I was going with the Eagles because they did a great job dominating the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball, offense and defense. You look at them offensively, with the great offensive line, Lane Johnson, and the other players, and they dominate," said Coleman. "They're playing three yards from the line of scrimmage, and say Saquon (Barkley) is not getting hit until he's five yards down the field. If you give a player like Saquon that many opportunities in open space, all it takes is three or four plays, and he will hit you and make some big plays, and he did, and that's what he did all season long."
The Eagles' defense pressured Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes throughout the game, securing six sacks without employing a blitz.
"On the defensive side, that defensive line was playing on the other side of the ball; it was like Patrick Mahomes was on alert the entire game." said Coleman, "You're supposed to be having his eyes down the field, looking at receivers, reading routes, but in the back of his mind, he's worrying about it. I'm going to get hit pretty soon. That's how the Eagles team dominated the whole season. They had some great leaders and finished it on a strong note. So, kudos to the Eagles for what they did; that's how the game is won at the line of scrimmage."
Coleman is a proud client of Castro, as the accomplished host reflected on their friendship.
"We started doing a lot of the (New York) Jets cars back in, wow, 1988, so long time ago. We used to do everybody's car," Castro said to Easton Jr., "So Eric Coleman, when he got drafted, we did about five cars for him, before he was even married, so I've known Eric for a long time. He's been a great player and a team guy. We did a lot of cars for him as well."
Each 30-minute episode follows a group of young students at Unique Academy. They learn hands-on skills like car tinting and detailing while being mentored by Castro and a lineup of high-profile guests from music, sports, and entertainment. The idea is to open doors into the automotive and business industries and keep students focused on building careers, character, and community.
Acclaimed car customizer and TV personality Will Castro is back with an inspiring new series, Unique Academy, streaming now exclusively on Roku.

Titans QB Will Levis will have season-ending shoulder surgery
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee quarterback Will Levis will have season-ending shoulder surgery, keeping him from competing for playing time in his third season with the Titans. The Titans announced Monday that Levis made his decision after consulting with doctors and his representatives. The Titans report Tuesday for training camp. 'We support his decision to focus on his long-term health,' the Titans said in a statement. 'He approached the offseason with professionalism and showed clear growth as a leader. We remain confident in his full recovery.' Tennessee, which wrapped up its minicamp June 12, doesn't open the preseason until Aug. 9 at Tampa Bay with the regular-season opener Sept. 7 at Denver. Levis' surgery is scheduled for July 29. The Titans used the No. 1 overall pick on quarterback Cam Ward in April after Levis struggled mightily starting 12 games in 2024. He threw for 2,091 yards, but he had 13 TD passes with 12 interceptions. He was sacked 41 times as Tennessee went 3-14 to land the top draft pick. Tennessee also added veteran quarterbacks Brandon Allen and Tim Boyle this offseason. Levis was the 33rd overall pick in 2023 when Tennessee's previous general manager Ran Carthon traded up to select the quarterback out of Kentucky. Carthon lasted just two seasons before being fired in January. The quarterback started 12 games in 2024 after spraining the AC joint in his right, throwing shoulder Sept. 30 against Miami while diving for a first down. Tennessee had a bye. Then Levis played against Indianapolis in a home loss by three points after a late-game interception. Levis admitted after the game his shoulder played a part in that late pick. He was sidelined the next three games before returning. After the Titans took Ward in the draft, coach Brian Callahan rotated quarterbacks during the offseason program with no starter announced, which he said he planned to continue into training camp. Still, Ward is expected to be the starter when the Titans open the regular season. That seemed to leave the competition for the No. 2 position wide open for Levis, who took part throughout the team's offseason program. He told reporters in June he felt more comfortable in his second season in Callahan's offense and was looking forward to training camp. "I feel like I'm starting to get to that point as a quarterback, and it's just cool to feel that and see it and show everyone else here,' Levis said during minicamp. Rookie draft class all signed The Titans announced late Monday afternoon the last of their nine draft picks signed his rookie contract. Linebacker Oluwafemi Oladejo was the 52nd selection overall in the second round. He started 27 of 46 games, switching to edge rusher last year season when he had 4 1/2 sacks and 13 1/2 tackles for loss at UCLA. ___ AP NFL: Teresa M. Walker, The Associated Press

Packers RT Zach Tom receives record-setting signing bonus in new 4-year deal
The Green Bay Packers and right tackle Zach Tom agreed to a four-year contract extension on Monday, and the one part of the deal is believed to be record-setting for his position group. According to both and ESPN, the $30.2 million signing bonus in Tom's four-year extension is the most ever given to an offensive lineman in NFL history. Tom's bonus just barely beats the $30 million signing bonuses in deals previously signed by Laremy Tunsil and David Bakhtiari at offensive tackle. The Packers favor big signing bonuses in veteran contracts because the amount is allowed to be prorated over the length of the deal. Tom's $30.2 million, for instance, will be prorated across the remaining five years of his contract, given his four-year extension is being tacked onto the final year of his rookie deal. This cap mechanism gives the player a big chunk of money up front and lowers the salary cap hit on the front end for the team. This is the second straight summer in which the Packers have agreed to a record-breaking bonus. In July of last year, the Packers and Jordan Love set a new NFL record with a $75 million signing bonus. The deal is worth $88 million over four years. Tom's $22 million per year average in new money will rank him fourth among all right tackles, trailing only Penei Sewell, Tristan Wirfs and Lane Johnson. Of Tom's 39 career starts, 34 have come at right tackle, including all 17 games during each of the last two seasons. He has five-position potential, but the new contract strongly suggests he'll remain at right tackle for the foreseeable future.

What to know if you plan to attend the Denver Broncos training camp
Football season is just weeks away, with the Denver Broncos' first preseason game on Saturday, Aug. 9. Training camp, which is open to the public but requires tickets, starts on Friday. The Broncos' game schedule was released in May, but before the season starts, the team will start preparing at training camp. Here's everything you need to know about this year's camp. A total of 13 training camp practices are planned this year. They'll run from July 25 through Aug. 5 and then pick up again Aug. 12, culminating with a joint practice with the Arizona Cardinals on Aug. 14. Practice starts at 10 a.m. each day, and the gates to the park open at 8 a.m. Practice runs approximately two hours each day. It's held at Broncos Park, 13655 E. Broncos Pkwy., in Englewood. You'll need tickets to get in. This year, due to construction of the team's new training facility, fans will be viewing the practices from temporary bleacher seating. These will be located on the south end of the practice fields. The number of fans at camp this year will be capped at 800 per practice. Anything brought in must fit in your pockets or be in an approved bag, in line with the Broncos' stadium bag policy, which includes a clear plastic bag no larger than 12" x 6" x 12", a 1-gallon clear resealable bag like a Ziploc, or a small clutch bag or purse, no larger than 4.5" x 6.5". Sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, a portable phone charger, and comfortable shoes are also recommended. Small cameras and small binoculars are allowed, but only if carried in on their own or in an approved clear bag. Seat pads can also be brought along, as long as they're 18 inches wide or smaller and don't contain pockets, zippers, or concealable areas. Everyone will have to go through a walk-through metal detector. Fans will be provided with a water bottle. No food is allowed. Here's what you're not allowed to bring: Parking at Dove Valley Regional Park, 7900 S. Potomac St. Rd., in Centennial, is free, but spots are limited, so attendees are encouraged to use public transit, rideshare apps like Uber and Lyft, or walk or bike if you're close enough. Players sign autographs after practice, and there will be "Kid Zone" wristbands for anyone 5 to 15 years old. The first 30 fans with Ford key fobs also get early access at the gates and front row seats with swag. The Broncos say tickets are sold out as of Monday, but ticket-holders can return tickets they have as late as 30 minutes after the start of the practice day they have tickets for, so stock might increase if people return theirs. If you don't have tickets but want to attend, check the available stock on Ticketmaster. The tickets can't be resold, but those that are returned will be made available again on Ticketmaster by the Broncos. For more information, click here.
