Like all of you, I am utterly stunned and heartbroken and sick to my soul today. It is unimaginable to write these words. I met Charlie Kirk when he was 18 years old, a young man so eager and determined that I immediately turned to a friend and said, “That kid is going to be the head of the RNC one day.” Charlie became even bigger and more important than that. It was a privilege to watch this principled man stand up for his beliefs and create the single most important conservative political organization in America. But more importantly, Charlie was a good man, a man who believed in right and wrong, who stood by his Biblical values. All of us will miss him, and I can’t imagine the pain of his beautiful young family, and we must all pray for them. And we must pick up the baton where Charlie left it, fighting for the things he believed in so passionately. And we must fight for a better America - an America where good people can speak truth and debate passionately without fear of a bullet. I weep for Charlie’s family, and I weep for my country today. Most of all, I weep for Charlie.
TE Jack Westover made the Patriots roster after a high school career where he didn’t play football until his senior year and then was injured 2 games into the season.
Washington brought him in as a walk-on despite his limited experience and he developed into an impact player who had 875 career yards with the Huskies and was a major contributor in the 2023 run to the National Title.
Undrafted rookie LB Cooper McDonald has made the #Chiefs’ 53-man roster, per sources.
McDonald signed after a rookie tryout, two weeks after the draft, and now goes from tryout player to active roster.
Another strong find by the Kansas City staff and a great story heading into Week 1.
