The NFL season is less than four weeks away and there is plenty of reason to be excited for it. The league has never played games in more countries, with viewership for plenty of big-time games least season breaking records.
The Kansas City Chiefs enter the campaign as back-to-back Super Bowl champions, with no team having won three in a row in the Super Bowl era. No team as the two-time-defending champion made it back to the Super Bowl that season.
We’ll start with a look at 10 reasons to be excited for the NFL season with maybe the most popular person in the Chiefs’ kingdom, and her Hall of Fame tight end boyfriend. After several appearances at Swift’s sold-out ‘Eras Tour’, Kelce will be the star of his own show with Swift likely in the crowd at several games.
Last year, the Chiefs had a 10-3 record with Swift attending their games, including all four playoff victories in different cities. While the final dates of Swift’s ‘Eras Tour’ will take her away from Kelce in November and December, the ‘Anti-Hero’ singer would be free for another Chiefs playoff run. After a high-profile offseason where he was traded from the Green Bay Packers to the New York Jets, Rodgers made it four snaps before tearing his Achilles and not playing again until 2024.
Now, fully healthy, the four-time NFL MVP returns to the sidelines at nearly 41 hoping to return the Jets to playoff glory. Rodgers has a good supporting cast around him and a playoff berth is not out of the question. This may be the deepest rookie quarterback class in NFL history.
Six of the first dozen picks from April’s NFL Draft were used on quarterbacks, including each of the first three. Now Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Drake Maye, JJ McCarthy and more represent the next generation of NFL quarterbacks thrown into the deep end. We’ll see how much playing time Michael Penix and Bo Nix get this fall.
