LOOK: Star TE Travis Kelce debuts new haircut for Chiefs Training Camp
In what could be his final season in the NFL, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce returned to training camp this year with a fresh new look.
On top of some noticeable weight loss, Kelce — now entering his thirteenth season — debuted a fresh hairstyle as he walked to the field at Missouri Western State University for the Chiefs' first practice session in St. Joseph.
Though Kelce's physical appearance won't necessarily affect his on-field performance, his shaggy hairdo may catch on with fans in Kansas City, judging from the reaction to his mop on Twitter.
Take a look at this picture of Kelce with his longer-than-usual head of hair, which was posted to Twitter by the Chiefs' official account:
Kelce was also featured in a video of Kansas City's warmups before practice, wherein star quarterback Patrick Mahomes "dunked" on one of his teammates.
Fans should expect to see more pictures and videos of Kelce, Mahomes, and the rest of the team's stars as Chiefs Training Camp continues.

Bill Belichick: North Carolina is a pro program, we have an NFL approach in college
North Carolina head coach Bill Belichick says he's coaching his college football team like he coached in the NFL. Asked at the ACC media day if he's trying to introduce NFL-level schemes and concepts to college football, Belichick answered, 'That's exactly what we're trying to do. That's my philosophy.' Belichick said he views the Tar Heels like a pro team that just needs some minor adjustments for younger players. 'It's a pro program,' Belichick said. 'Practice, training, food, schemes, terminology, it's all a pro program. Not to the extent that we did it in the NFL — there will be fewer plays, fewer adjustments — but it will be along those lines.' Belichick said to the extent that he'll coach differently, it's largely about the differences between NCAA rules, such as college football's wider hashmarks and the overtime format that takes place mostly in the red zone. 'There's some things I don't think we'll need at this level and other things that we are,' Belichick said. 'Based on hashmarks and things like that that are difference, the overtime system — the red area could potentially come up a lot more than in the NFL on a percentage basis. Things like that that you just have to take into consideration. But fundamentally, we're going to do as much as we can as a pro system.'

Eagles 12 most intriguing players: No. 6, how A.J. Brown keeps from getting 'exposed'
PHILADELPHIA − A.J. Brown remembers feeling surprised at his emotions. There he was, the pinnacle of stardom, having helped the Eagles win the Super Bowl. This is what he had always dreamed about. And yet, Brown remembered feeling ... "just like, it wasn't fulfilling," as he said shortly after the Eagles' beat the Kansas City Chiefs on Feb. 9, while on the "Kickin' It with Dee" podcast. "Coming into the league, we were taught we were playing for this reason, and we were playing for this trophy," Brown said. "And once we got the trophy, I thought everything would be fulfilled, like the hard work and everything. "But no, it's the journey that matters the most. And for me, it's the most because those are the moments that you look back at your teammates, spending that time and you're going to war. You're suffering together, and you're winning together, and that's the beautiful moments in it. "I mean ... it's cool that's it's forever in the history books. But we're gonna remember the moments more than the ring." So Brown celebrated with his teammates in the locker room after the game, took part in the parade. Then he went back to work. That's why Brown is No. 6 on our list of 12 most intriguing Eagles heading into the start of training camp on July 22. We're counting them down each weekday from No. 12 to No. 1. The series began July 7 and will culminate with the start of camp. After all, the Eagles won the Super Bowl in large part because Brown was his usual unstoppable self at wide receiver. Sure, Brown's production was down somewhat from his first two seasons with the Eagles, when he had 1,496 and 1,456 yards receiving in 2022 and 2023, respectively. Last season, Brown had 1,079 yards receiving. But he missed three games due to injury, plus the meaningless regular-season finale. In addition, the Eagles made running back Saquon Barkley the focal point of the offense as he became just the ninth player in NFL history to surpass 2,000 yards, finishing with 2,005. Brown, of course, is an elite receiver because of his work ethic. And even with surpassing 1,000 yards receiving in five of his six seasons, Brown is nowhere near satisfied. That hasn't changed after winning the Super Bowl. "The process is always the same, honestly, regardless of if we won or not," Brown said. "It's always watching film, trying to rediscover yourself and to get better and find new ways to get better. You have to grow in this league. And if you don't, you'll get exposed." That process began shortly after the Super Bowl. "You just take notes of what you didn't do really well last year, and what may have snuck through the cracks that nobody never realized," Brown said. "But you know deep down that everybody knows what that weakness is and your strengths, and you're just trying to find new ways to pick up a few things." Brown would not divulge what he discovered. But he has said in the past that he tries to add something new to his game every offseason, whether that's winning 50-50 balls, or showing "late hands" to fool a defender before catching the ball. Celebrate the Eagles' Super Bowl win with our new book There's always something for Brown to work on. And there's a good chance with teams keying in on Barkley even more this season, that Brown and fellow receivers DeVonta Smith and tight end Dallas Goedert will have a bigger role." "Whatever it looks like, that's what it's going to look like," Barkley said. "The most important thing is winning football games. If we gotta adapt and (it's) gotta look a different way, then we're all willing to do that." For Brown, that work began shortly after the Super Bowl. That's the feeling Brown wants to experience again. Contact Martin Frank at mfrank@ Follow on X @Mfranknfl.

Eagles' 12 most intriguing No. 2: Why Jalen Hurts is respected by Michael Jordan, not NFL
PHILADELPHIA − By now, after leading the Eagles to two Super Bowls in three seasons and to the playoffs in all four of his seasons as a full-time starter, Jalen Hurts should be revered like Patrick Mahomes is with the Kansas City Chiefs and Tom Brady was with the New England Patriots. Instead, Hurts was often called a "game manager" last season when the Eagles won the Super Bowl, benefitting from running back Saquon Barkley's 2,000-yard season, a dominant offensive line and defense, and star wide receivers. In some ways, the stats back the critics up. SIRIANNI AND THE SUPER BOWL: The 'r' word Eagles, Nick Sirianni won't use about the Super Bowl. They use this instead BACKING HURTS: 'That's 'B.S.'' Eagles coach rips Jalen Hurts narrative regarding Saquon Barkley, others Hurts threw for less than 200 yards six times in the 14 full games that he played in during the regular season, finishing with 2,903 yards passing. That was the fewest in Hurts' four full seasons as a starter. He threw for less than 200 yards twice more in the playoffs. Then again, the Eagles were 7-1 in those games. Eagles coach Nick Sirianni called the game manager label, "bull(expletive)," then said Hurts "plays the most important position in sports," and that Hurts is perfectly suited to throw the ball or hand the ball off, or keep it himself. "What I admire about him is his selflessness of doing anything we need to do to win," Sirianni said. Perhaps that's why NBA legend Michael Jordan, for one, thinks so highly of Hurts. As part of the Jordan brand, Hurts was invited to Greece recently to participate in Jordan's "Board of Greatness." Hurts has said this spring that he has talked with Jordan and Yankees legend Derek Jeter, among others, about having a winning mindset. So perhaps we're looking at Hurts all wrong. He'll never break Brady's career passing records, or even match Mahomes, who has twice surpassed 5,000 yards passing in his seven seasons as a full-time starter, and 4,000 in six of those seven. But like Mahomes and Brady, Hurts wins. That goes back to his true freshman year at Alabama, when he led the Crimson Tide to the national championship, then transferred to Oklahoma as a senior and led the Sooners to the College Football Playoff. That's why Hurts is No. 2 on our list of 12 most intriguing Eagles heading into the start of training camp on July 22. We're counting them down each weekday from No. 12 to No. 1. The series began July 7 and will culminate with the start of camp. It's always been about winning with Hurts, and it doesn't matter what it looks like. Sometimes, it can look downright ugly, like when Hurts threw for 108 yards in an unimpressive 22-16 win over the Carolina Panthers last Dec. 8. After the game, star wide receiver A.J. Brown said one word when asked what has to improve: "Passing." The next week, Hurts threw for 290 yards in a rout over the Pittsburgh Steelers. In the Super Bowl, when the Chiefs held Barkley to 57 yards on 25 carries, Hurts completed 17 of 22 passes for 221 yards as the Eagles built a 34-0 lead on their win to a 40-22 win. Hurts was named the game's MVP. Celebrate the Eagles' Super Bowl win with our new book Hurts has done this despite being on his fifth offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach as he enters his sixth NFL season. This season, Hurts has a new offensive coordinator in Kevin Patullo, who's replacing Kellen Moore, and a new QB coach in Scot Loeffler, who's taking over for Doug Nussmeier. "There is a dynamic of adaptability that you have to be able to have and find success regardless of what the leadership looks like, what the voice is, who's in the quarterback room coaching me or who's out there calling plays," Hurts said. "So that's really where I put my energy at trying to decode these things and figure it out on my terms a little bit, and find a way to make it go." That sounds like something Jordan would appreciate. The Eagles certainly do, even if many around the NFL do not. Contact Martin Frank at mfrank@ Follow on X @Mfranknfl.
