Chiefs announce retirement of veteran special teams assistant Andy Hill
Chiefs announce retirement of veteran special teams assistant Andy Hill
On Wednesday, June 11, the Kansas City Chiefs announced the retirement of veteran assistant special teams coach Andy Hill.
According to a statement about Hill's retirement that was posted by the Chiefs' official Twitter account:
"Hill served as the Assistant Special Teams Coach for the Kansas City Chiefs from the 2020 season through the 2024 season. During his tenure, he contributed to two Super Bowl wins and four total Super Bowl appearances."
Though Hill might not have been the most recognizable figure on Kansas City's coaching staff, the Chiefs clearly valued his contributions to their success — as evidenced by the team's formal statement.
Hill is a member of the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame, and perhaps most recognizable for his decades-long tenure at the University of Missouri, where he played football from 1980 until 1984 before returning as a coach in various roles from 1996 to 2018.
It remains unclear if Kansas City's front office has already selected Hill's replacement, or indeed if the Chiefs intend to fill the void left by his absence, at all.
Chiefs fans should stay tuned to find out who — or if anyone — might replace Hill before training camp starts this summer.

Rams sign veteran OT amidst Alaric Jackson's health concerns
The Los Angeles Rams signed veteran OT DJ Humphries yesterday. Humphries was a first round selection by the Arizona Cardinals in 2025 and played for the Kansas City Chiefs last season. At first glance the Humphries signing seemed to be a depth-shoring move. That perspective seemed to shift on Friday with reports that blood clotting issues have resurfaced with starting left tackle Alaric Jackson—who signed a three-year, $57M deal with the Rams this offseason. Advertisement Jackson's bout with blood clots first surfaced during his sophomore season in 2022. He played in eight games with six starts before sitting out the remainder of the year. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, 'the belief is he'll play in 2025' and 'there are still questions'. While the starters along the offensive line seem stout for Los Angeles, Rob Havenstein and Jackson at tackles introduce layers of uncertainty with their injury history. The Rams will need to do all they can to keep Matthew Stafford upright during the final stage of his career, and missing a tackle out of the starting lineup could potentially derail their Super Bowl aspirations.

Former QB Gives High Praise To Bills' Josh Allen
Former QB Gives High Praise To Bills' Josh Allen originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Chris Simms has always turned heads with his quarterback takes. The latest one may shock fans across the league. And this one centers around Buffalo Bills signal-caller Josh Allen. Advertisement The reigning league MVP is coming off his best season, leading Buffalo to the AFC title game. And so ... Simms has Allen in the "Tier 1" ranking, including Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, and Joe Burrow. That wasn't the shocking part. If you look at most quarterback rankings, those are the top four that are consistently used at this point. No, the stunner here is Simms made it clear on his podcast that in his mind, the current top tier of quarterbacks compares to the greatness of signal-callers from the 1980s and 90s. "This is like [John] Elway, [Dan] Marino, [Joe] Montana, Jim Kelly in their prime," said Simms on his June 10 podcast. "I don't know if you can find four [QBs] at the same time that are playing at such a high level as the four right now." Advertisement Comparing Marino, Kelly, Montana, and Elway to the current four stars in the league is stunning. Of the original top four? The group won six Super Bowls while going to 14 of those Big Games. The current group has three titles (all from Mahomes) and multiple MVP trophies. That's fine, but ... Those trophies are no different from the success that the top four quarterbacks in the NFL enjoyed during the 2000s (Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, and Ben Roethlisberger). Allen is one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL right now, no one denies that. But to rank this collection of signal-callers among the greatest in league history, one of these players outside of Mahomes has to actually win a Super Bowl. Advertisement And we bet Josh Allen agrees with that.
