Travis Kelce reveals how teams will attack Jaguars two-way rookie phenom Travis Hunter ‘all day'
Travis Hunter was a standout two-way player and a Heisman Trophy winner at the college level. But in the NFL, well, that's going to be a completely different beast — and Travis Kelce knows teams are going to go right after the Jaguars rookie. During an episode of the 'Bussin' with the Boys' podcast, the Chiefs' tight end was asked about Hunter — a wideout and defensive back — and how his workload would be as a two-way player. While Kelce said he didn't know how the Jaguars would divide Hunter's time, what the tight end did know was how teams will likely attack Hunter while he's playing as a cornerback on defense. 3 Travis Kelce believes he knows how teams will try to attack Travis Hunter.

AP 'Teams are going to be going after him,' Kelce said. They're going to try and make his day miserable. … 'Dude, if he plays corner, they're just going to run deep balls at him all day,' Kelce continued. 'The wide receivers just take off on him all day. Just to try to get him tired. Why wouldn't you just attack him that way?' Hunter, a two-time All-American at Colorado, shone as Division I's best player this past season after reeling in a Big 12-best 96 catches and 13 touchdowns as a receiver, to go along with 36 tackles, 11 passes defended and four interceptions as a corner. The Jaguars, at least to start, intend to use the talented Hunter as a two-way player. During a hit on the 'Rich Eisen Show' earlier this week, Jacksonville's chief football strategy officer Tony Khan said how excited the team is to get Hunter going as a pro after trading up to select him at No. 2 in the 2025 NFL Draft. 3 Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Travis Hunter (12) runs during the first organized team activity at Miller Electric Center Monday, May 19, 2025 in Jacksonville, Fla.

'And knowing that going into the draft, and realizing, if you're going to try to account for the trade value of a player, this is a very unique situation.'

Former Nebraska wide receiver receives high praise from All-Pro tight end George Kittle
A Nebraska wide receiver is getting high praise from an All-Pro tight end. San Francisco 49ers star George Kittle was recently a guest on the podcast 'Bussin' with the Boys' and had a lot to say about former Husker Isaiah Neyor. 'He's a freak. He was running a route, and he got nine and a half yards in two strides. It was insane. We watched it ten times in the tight end room. We were like 'how is he doing this?'… At the bare minimum, he should make the practice squad. He's a freak.' Neyor only spent one year with the Cornhuskers after spending his first four years with the Wyoming Cowboys and the Texas Longhorns. In his one year at Nebraska, he played in 12 games, recording 34 receptions for 455 yards and five touchdowns. Neyor then planned to transfer for a third time to the Louisville Cardinals, but changed his mind shortly thereafter and committed to the draft. He would sign with the Niners as an NFL free agent.

Travis Kelce Reveals Major Challenge in Personal and Professional Life
Travis Kelce Reveals Major Challenge in Personal and Professional Life originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Travis Kelce can in interviews alternate back-and-forth between being charming and funny and self-effacing… And smart. The Kansas City Chiefs superstar was interviewed recently on the 'Bussin' with the Boys' podcast, and he found himself talking about how the most difficult thing about hosting "SNL,'' as he recently did with great comedic success, is what is called the pre-show "table read.'' It's part of the weekly prep, and per reviews of Kelce working as the host for the 14th episode of season 48, it was a "Saturday Night Live'' hit. And as Kelce gradually shifts from the NFL to the entertainment world - with guidance no doubt from pop icon girlfriend Talyor Swift - he enjoyed the work. Or, rather, most of it. 'The writers' rooms were fun because you're just getting pitched ideas,'' he said. But ... "The table reading, for a guy that can't really read that well, it was kind of a (expletive) situation.' Kelce stated. 'I felt like I was just trying to get through the reading instead of actually acting it out and giving it a voice and giving it a character and things like that. "I was just focused on, 'Don't (expletive) skip this line.'' As far as fans of the Super Bowl champion and future Hall of Famer are concerned, Kelce seems to be able to master any number of tasks with ease. But ... is reading really a relative struggle for him? Even if he's being a bit modest, it's a revelation that might also count as an inspiration for young people who might have their own struggles. And Kelce is certainly making it work now as he is making a stunningly strong transition into Hollywood the last few years, achieving a role in the FX's series 'Grotesquerie,' and an even bigger and more high-profile 'Happy Gilmore' sequel in which he will play a role with his acting buddy Adam story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 3, 2025, where it first appeared.

Alabama football receives a preseason gift that Nick Saban would enjoy
Kalen DeBoer's task this season is restoring Alabama's aura of authority, and Florida State's trash-talking quarterback Thomas Castellanos served a gift. Just when I thought Kalen DeBoer's offseason couldn't go much better, the Alabama coach received the perfect gift from an opposing quarterback. Florida State's Thomas Castellanos served bulletin board material that will provide the program jet fuel throughout the dog days of summer. Castellanos, a transfer from Boston College, will make his first start for the Seminoles when they host Alabama in the season opener, and the quarterback with the 58.6% career completion rate foresees something big going down at Doak Campbell Stadium. 'You go back and watch every first game that I played in, we always start fast,' Castellanos told On3. 'I dreamed of moments like this. I dreamed of playing against Alabama. They don't have Nick Saban to save them. I just don't see them stopping me.' There's an obvious clapback about Bobby Bowden not being around to save Florida State anymore – the Noles went 2-10 last season – but I digress. Kalen DeBoer's task: Restore Alabama's aura of authority DeBoer strives to be his own man rather than mimic than inimitable, but here's an unmissable opportunity to take a page from Saban's book. Back in his day, the GOAT would have mainlined this quote into the Crimson Tide's cerebrum and let it be a motivational prod. Some minion in the Mal Moore Athletic Facility in Tuscaloosa ought to be pounding Control+P keys on their laptop and plastering the walls, the nooks and the crannies with Castellanos' quote. Athletes tend to look under every rock on the internet in hopes of finding a naysayer doubting them. And this was no Russian bot tweeting a nastygram on X. This was an opposing quarterback firing a shot across the bow. Ill-advised though Castellanos' words were, didn't he say what many of us wonder? No, not the part about Alabama being incapable of stopping him. Last we saw of Castellanos, he threw seven passes in a loss to Syracuse, completed two, and got intercepted once. Castellanos' boast of fast starts sounds like a rewrite of history, too. He passed for 138 yards in Boston College's 2023 season-opener loss to Northern Illinois, then tossed for 106 yards in Week 1 last season. Sizzlin' starts! The part about Saban not being around to save Alabama anymore rings true, though. Castellanos isn't the only opponent yapping while the elephant naps. Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia predicted recently on the 'Bussin' with the Boys' podcast that the Commodores would beat Alabama for a second consecutive season. Alabama's invincibility cloak got packed away inside a trunk that snapped shut after its undefeated 2020 season. DeBoer's charge is to revive Alabama's aura of authority after he stumbled to a 9-4 record in his debut, the Tide's worst record since Saban's first season in 2007. 'I feel like we are taking the steps,' DeBoer told me in April. 'You've got to go through some hard times, I feel. More times than not, you go through the hard times to actually realize the big moments.' Many coaches share that philosophy, but Alabama fans will expect a leap this season, not a small step. Alabama gained more than it lost this offseason I see DeBoer's debut as no cause for panic, but neither DeBoer nor Florida State's Mike Norvell should expect another mulligan after each endured 2024 seasons that fell short of the program standard. The Seminoles didn't even meet the Willie Taggart standard for mediocrity. Never mind the Bowden bar. Norvell responded with another big transfer haul. Castellanos offers a quarterback upgrade after FSU's experiment gone wrong with DJ Uiagalelei. At Alabama, DeBoer smartly reunited with Ryan Grubb, his longtime right-hand man. He tapped Grubb in January to be the Crimson Tide's offensive coordinator. DeBoer nabbed several useful transfers, too, like wide receiver Isaiah Horton from Miami, and he kept Alabama from losing a single scholarship player in the spring transfer window. DeBoer and his Tide enjoyed a good offseason. And it just got better. Saban, a motivational master, understood that sometimes the best inspiration comes from your opponent's lips.

George Kittle opens up on bizarre NFL training method with sex life side effect
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle might've shared too many details about his recovery treatment. During a recent appearance on the 'Bussin with the Boys' podcast, Kittle explained that he uses a Vasper machine to help improve his recovery — and the extra side effects it has on his testosterone levels. 'I do it a little bit during OTAs (organized team activities), but as soon as I get back in the summer, it's like my cardio every day at the end of my workout,' Kittle, 31, said. 'I'll go lift, run my routes, run hills and then I'll do a 20-minute Vasper session, four days a week. I love it. Advertisement 'It also knocks you the f–k out at night, unconscious. You sleep so well, and you have wild dreams, too. It's awesome … The main selling point is you, um, blow huge loads.' Warning: Graphic language Advertisement The Vasper System is a recovery bike that utilizes blood flow restriction (BFR) and uses compression technology, liquid cooling and interval training to 'create the effect of a high intensity (anaerobic) exercise without the wear and tear, time, effort or stress it takes to achieve the same results with conventional exercise,' according to the company's website. 'I was like, 'How do I say it?' I just gotta say it,' Kittle continued regarding the sexual side effects. 'That's how it was sold to players. It was like, 'Look, it boosts your testosterone, you sleep really well, you're going to feel great and you also blow huge loads.'' 4 The Vasper machine. Advertisement 4 San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle might've shared too many details about his recovery treatment during a recent appearance on the 'Bussin' with the Boys' podcast in June 2025. YouTube/Bussin' with the Boys Kittle — who's been married to his wife Claire since April 2019 after meeting at the University of Iowa — was skeptical at first. 'I was like, 'Oh, that's bulls–t'. Not bulls–t. And then that rumor started going around,' he said. 'In 2019, there were six or seven coaches that were doing it all of the time… [like Mike LaFleur] one of my (offensive coordinator)'s, he was in there all the time, going to town.' 4 San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle and his wife Claire after signing his contract extension in April 2025.

IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect Kittle added that he's 'lightyears ahead' of where he was last year at this time mentally and physically after having a rare postseason off. The 49ers failed to make the playoffs for the first time since 2020 with a 6-11 mark last season. 'The one benefit of not making the playoffs is you get an entire month off. I haven't had January off since 2020,' he said. 'Mentally and physically, I'm lightyears ahead of where I was last year, which is pretty fun.' Kittle signed a four-year deal worth up to $76.4 million with $40 million in guarantees with the 49ers in April, tying him to the team through the 2029 season. He tallied 78 catches for 1,106 yards and eight touchdowns in 2024, becoming the fifth tight end in NFL history to record at least four 1,000-yard seasons.
