NFL Stars Take to the Silver Screen
In a surprising turn of events, several NFL stars are set to make their feature film debuts in the upcoming Hallmark movie, Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story. The film, which is currently in production in Kansas City, Missouri, boasts an impressive cast of NFL personalities, including Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, guard Trey Smith, wide receiver Mecole Hardman, and running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire, among others.
The Chiefs are trading in their football gear for acting scripts.
Reid, a three-time Super Bowl champion and future Hall of Famer, is no stranger to the entertainment world. He has previously appeared in State Farm commercials alongside Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. State Farm commercials
Also joining the cast are Christine Ebersole, Megyn Price, Richard Riehle, and Diedrich Bader, a.k.a. former Bengals long snapper Clark Harris’ doppelganger.

Bills Rookie WR Keon Coleman Ready to Shine
In Buffalo, rookie wide receiver Keon Coleman is looking to make a big impact in his first season with the Bills. With the departure of Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis, Coleman is expected to step into a significant role. However, the second-round pick remains unfazed by the high expectations, saying, ‘I’m not Gabe, I’m not Stef, I’m just Keon.’
Keon Coleman brings size and athleticism to the Bills’ offense.
Coleman’s ability to snag pigskins in tight quarters will be a valuable asset for the Bills offense, and with quarterback Josh Allen’s glowing comments about the rookie, expectations are high for his Year 1 potential.
