Gracie Hunt, the heiress to the Kansas City Chiefs, has spoken publicly for the first time following the tragic death of her 9-year-old cousin in the devastating Texas floods.

Gracie Hunt, heiress to the NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs, has spoken out for the first time following the tragic death of her 9-year-old cousin in the Texas floods. The daughter of Chiefs owner Clark Hunt called the tragedy “a loss beyond comprehension,” as the family mourns the passing of a young girl described as a bright light in their lives.

In a deeply emotional Instagram post, Gracie wrote:

“We are heartbroken by the loss of Janie. She was a pure light in our lives, and the grief is beyond words. Please pray for my family and for all the families who are grieving after this unimaginable tragedy.”

Janie Hunt lost her life during a devastating flash flood that struck Camp Mystic, a Christian girls’ summer camp in Texas, when the Guadalupe River rose rapidly on the 4th of July. The Hunt family has long-standing ties to the camp, with Gracie and her mother, Tavia Hunt, having both attended it during their childhood.

Gracie recalled the camp as a deeply meaningful place from her own youth:

“Camp Mystic was always a place I felt safe, a place I grew in my faith, in nature, and in sisterhood. That’s why this loss cuts so deeply.”

As rescue efforts continue and families cope with the aftermath, Gracie ended her message with a call for unity and enduring faith:

“We believe that even in the darkest of times, the light of kindness and faith still leads the way.”

Steelers Add Two Former Packers Fan Favorites to Practice Squad To Strengthen Defense Ahead Of Browns Game
  PITTSBURGH – On Wednesday, October 8, 2025, the Pittsburgh Steelers welcomed two linebackers formerly with the Green Bay Packers for a workout session. The players invited were Michael Barrett and Isaiah Simmons, as the team looks to bolster its defensive unit ahead of upcoming games. Isaiah Simmons, selected as the 8th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft out of Clemson, has appeared in 84 games. He has recorded 329 tackles (226 solo, 103 assisted), 8.5 sacks (74 yards), 5 interceptions (127 yards), 2 interception touchdowns, 9 forced fumbles, and 3 fumble recoveries. Simmons, who briefly signed with the Packers in 2025 but didn’t make the final roster, is known for his versatility and impressive speed. Michael Barrett, a 7th-round pick (240th overall) by the Carolina Panthers in the 2024 NFL Draft out of Michigan, has limited NFL experience. He has appeared in a few games on practice squads with teams like the Packers and Browns but has yet to record significant stats (0 tackles, sacks, or interceptions). At Michigan, Barrett had a standout final college season with 65 tackles, 3 sacks, and 3 forced fumbles. Alex Highsmith, a key linebacker for the Steelers, suffered a high ankle sprain during the team’s Week 2 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on September 14, 2025. The injury sidelined him for Weeks 3 and 4, with an estimated recovery time of 4-6 weeks. While Highsmith was not placed on injured reserve to maintain roster flexibility, he is still recovering post-bye week and expected to return soon. However, the Steelers are seeking temporary replacements for the edge rusher position. The workouts with Barrett and Simmons reflect head coach Mike Tomlin’s cautious approach to adding depth to the defense, especially after releasing Ja’Whaun Bentley and losing Jon Rhattigan to the Raiders. Simmons, with his experience and athleticism, could be an ideal short-term option to support T.J. Watt and Nick Herbig. The Steelers have not yet announced any contract decisions regarding the two linebackers. SOURCE: https://x.com/FarabaughFB/status/1976031373946388722
