Stefon Diggs makes bold runway debut (Image credits: Complex Style/Instagram) NFL star Stefon Diggs lit up the Milan runway at SS26 show, blending bold fashion with Black dandy elegance. But as cameras flashed in Italy, storm clouds swirled back home—thanks to contract drama, injury concerns, and a viral yacht video. His debut arrives at a high-stakes moment, straddling fashion buzz and NFL headlines—commanding attention far beyond the football field. Dandy vibes and designer swagger in Milan At vibrant SS26 showcase, Diggs turned heads with a velvet jacket, crisp tailoring, and sleek accessories. Inspired by late '70s and '80s Black dandyism, his look channeled pride, heritage, and elegance. At the runway's end, Diggs held his pose with calm confidence, exuding part swagger, part statement. The flashbulbs captured more than a walk—it felt like a cultural performance wrapped in style. Fashion bloggers praised the debut: 'Diggs oozed confidence and authenticity. Easily one of the best athlete runway moments in years.' Social feeds called it 'a cultural moment, not just a fashion one,' with fans praising his poise and presence. NFL uncertainty looms behind the glamour Back in the U.S., Diggs faces scrutiny after a now‑viral yacht video surfaced showing him with Cardi B and a suspicious pink substance. While no official violation has been confirmed, the footage has stirred speculation. His current Patriots deal—a $69M contract with roughly $26M guaranteed—could be jeopardized if he fails a full physical or is found in breach. Coach Mike Vrabel urged 'great decisions on and off the field,' when asked about the footage. Fans torn between style and sidelines While fashion insiders applauded Diggs' Milan moment, NFL fans voiced split opinions online. One user on X (Twitter) wrote, 'I love this for Diggs—NFL stars need to embrace style like this more often.' But Reddit threads leaned cautious, 'Stefon Diggs at 31 coming off an ACL injury—really hope this works out.' And regarding the viral yacht clip, 'Unidentified pink substance? Not a good look this close to training camp.

Major NFL Receiver Trade Rumor Tied to Chiefs
The Kansas City Chiefs' offense was hard hit by injuries last season, with Rashee Rice and Marquise Brown missing the majority of the year. That left Xavier Worthy, Travis Kelce, Juju Smith-Schuster, Justin Watson, and DeAndre Hopkins to share the load, which they did. Advertisement But now, with Hopkins in Baltimore with the Ravens, and the Chiefs bringing back Brown and Smith-Schuster, there is a little void in the receiver room. Yes, Rice is coming back, but players in their first year post-ACL injury aren't their usual selves. As such, maybe another body should be brought into the receiver room, For Bleacher Report's Kristopher Knox, he's named Tennessee Titans receiver Treylon Burks as a potential solution for the Chiefs, naming the AFC champs as a potential landing spot. "In Kansas City, Burks (6'2", 225) could bring size to the receiver lineup to help replace DeAndre Hopkins, who signed with the Baltimore Ravens in free agency," Knox writes. George Walker IV / TODAY NETWORK Burks is coming off an ACL injury that ended his season after just five games last year, and the fact that he only has 699 yards and one touchdown in three NFL seasons doesn't paint a picture of a receiver who can be a big addition. Advertisement But sometimes, a chance for scenery is needed, and a player can rediscover his form. Exactly what the Chiefs would have to part with his unknown, but based on his recent production and the ACL injury, it likely wouldn't be much. Burks and his 6'2 frame could be a nice depth piece for the Chiefs, and when Andy Reid is your play-caller, you are always in with a shot of having something good happen. A phone call to the Titans to check out the trade cost here wouldn't be the worst idea.

Aaron Glenn talks Breece Hall, desire for running back committee with Jets
Aaron Glenn talks Breece Hall, desire for running back committee with Jets Show Caption Hide Caption ESPN's Mike Greenberg on what the future looks like for the Jets ESPN commentator and die-hard Jets fan Mike Greenberg chats about the team's offseason moves that included cutting Aaron Rodgers and signing Justin Fields. Sports Seriously The New York Jets are changing the way they do business in 2025. Previously a solo act in the backfield, Aaron Glenn's team is going to take a committee approach to the running back room in their new offense. The new head coach is inheriting a group featuring Breece Hall in addition to a pair of second-year backs in Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis. Hall has been the No. 1 running back since the Jets drafted him in the second round of the 2022 NFL draft. Glenn wants to use them all without the "RB1" label. "I think, mentally, [Hall] is in a good place, but I would say that we have three running backs on this team that we're going to utilize as much as possible," Glenn said, via ESPN's Rich Cimini at the NFL league meetings. "They're all big men, they can run, they're violent, they're physical." Hall, who is entering a contract year, is trying to return to form. He hasn't been the same player after a torn ACL ended a solid rookie season after just seven games. The Iowa State product has seen a steady decline in efficiency since the injury. Hall averaged 6.9 yards per touch in his rookie year but has seen that number drop to just 5.1 in 2024. He's been a workhorse since returning, totaling 565 touches in the two seasons post-ACL injury. Glenn hopes the 23-year-old will be happy with the new approach. "So I think once we get a chance to get the players in and see exactly how they operate, I think every player is going to be happy with the way that we go about this offense, and I think he's going to be one of them." The Jets new coach knows a thing or two about the benefit a committee approach can have on a team. Glenn had a front-row seat to it with the New Orleans Saints and Detroit Lions. Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara formed a lethal duo with the Saints, while Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery have done the same with the Lions. As a defensive-minded coach, Glenn is familiar with what that style can do to a game plan. Instead, the focus shifts to how Hall will receive the news with his future unclear following 2025. The running back took to X to share his reaction, which doesn't appear to be an endorsement thus far. Things change quickly, however, so perhaps the kinks can be ironed out during the Jets' offseason program. Glenn and offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand will be tasked with making sure this doesn't become a bigger issue down the road. With the draft looming, Cimini suggested the Jets could consider trading Hall if Ashton Jeanty was on the board when the team is on the clock at No. 7 overall. That means all eyes are on the team's voluntary offseason program, which began Monday. One thing's for certain, however. The Jets will be doing things differently now, whether anyone likes it or not.

Shemar Stewart likely tested himself out of Packers' range in first round
Shemar Stewart likely tested himself out of Packers' range in first round Any hopes of the Green Bay Packers taking Texas A&M edge rusher Shemar Stewart at No. 23 overall in the first round of the 2025 NFL draft likely went up in smoke at the NFL Scouting Combine on Thursday. It's only late February, but Stewart might have already solidified himself as a top-10 selection with his work in Indianapolis this week. Stewart, who was already considered a first-round prospect despite underwhelming production numbers, aced the athletic testing inside Lucas Oil Stadium on Thursday. In fact, the Texas A&M edge rusher created a historically great testing performance. Stewart, who measured 6-5 and 267 pounds with a wingspan over 84 inches, ran the 40-yard dash in 4.59 seconds, hit 40" in the vertical leap and covered 10-11 in the broad jump. His 10-yard split in the 40-yard dash is unofficial 1.58 seconds. Again, this was all accomplished at 267 pounds. How impressive was Stewart athletically? He's got a chance to be a perfect 10.0 on Kent Lee Platte's Relative Athletic Score, meaning he's the most athletic edge rusher ever relative to size. The best comparison for Stewart in terms of size and testing numbers? Myles Garrett. We're in elite, never-seen-before territory now. Here's Stewart's unofficial RAS card after Thursday: Teams must now weigh a historical day in Indianapolis against three seasons of tape and find where athleticism, potential and production somehow meet. Stewart finished his collegiate career with exactly 4.5 sacks and 12 tackles for loss in 37 games. He had exactly 1.5 sacks during each of his three seasons. That kind of disruptive production doesn't exactly scream top-15 draft pick. But Stewart is clearly a rare combination of size and athleticism, and he wasn't completely unproductive at the college level -- Pro Football Focus credited him with 79 total pressures over three seasons, including 39 over 315 pass-rushing snaps in 2024. It's not difficult to see the incredible potential of a player with his combination of traits. The Packers have a need at edge rusher and love size and athletic traits at premium positions, so pre-combine, Stewart looked like an ideal match for Brian Gutekunst in the first round. Coming out of the combine, it looks like Stewart falling into the Packers' range at No. 23 is now a pipe dream. Some Packers fans may rejoice at this fact, considering the sluggish start to Lukas Van Ness's NFL career and Rashan Gary's inability to return to elite status post-ACL injury. Who wants another first-round project at edge rusher? When the project moves like Myles Garrett and might be the most athletic edge rusher ever, most NFL teams are going to be lining up to take a chance. The Packers are just near the back of the line of the 2025 draft.
