NEW YORK, NY—The NFL announced that renowned football athlete and YouTube creator Deestroying will bring his popular 1ON1 series to nine cities in NFL markets and one international city. This will be the first time the 1ON1 tour will expand globally to London, a key international market for the league.

Leading up to Training Camp and the 2023 season, the 1ON1 tour celebrates football in communities within NFL club markets, giving emerging local talent a platform to showcase their skills. For each 1ON1 event, Deestroying invites talented wide receivers and defensive backs to go head-to-head in multistage competitions. The competitions will be shared on Deestroying’s YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@Deestroying), where his 1ON1 series has garnered immense popularity, with videos that have captured more than 100M+ views to date.

“I cannot wait to bring the 1ON1s on its first global tour with the NFL, as we invite the best local athletes to come out and show what they got,” said DEESTROYING. “To use my platform and the NFL’s to spotlight these talented players, while also inviting the 1ON1 all-stars to The Pro Bowl Games, where the best in the NFL will also compete, is a dream come true.”

The 1ON1 tour will begin this summer in Denver and continue throughout the season. In addition to inviting local athletes to compete, each event will feature special guests and surprise appearances from NFL players, Legends and celebrities. The top four participants, two wide receivers and two defensive backs, will be selected from each city, and all 40 all-stars will compete in the ultimate 1ON1 competition at the 2024 Pro Bowl Games.

“As a talented football player and content creator, Deestroying is an incredible partner for the league, effortlessly blending UGC creation and the game” said EDDIE CAPOBIANCO, NFL VP of Culture Marketing. “Part of our core strategy is to continue creating meaningful connection with younger audiences, and Deestroying is an integral part of this effort, as he not only drives millions of views with his videos, but also provides up-and-coming local athletes with the chance to compete nationally and, for the first time this year, internationally.”

“We’re thrilled to see Deestroying’s 1ON1 tour come to London for the first time, coinciding with a record number of regular season games in Europe this year,” said STEPHANIE HSIAO, NFL VP of International Marketing & Fan Development. “We’ve seen the passion of football fans globally, and we can’t wait to see that same sentiment when local athletes around the UK come out to show off their talent in the London 1ON1.”

The 1ON1 tour is a continuation of a partnership between Deestroying and the NFL. The athlete and content creator recently attended NFL Draft and gave viewers a tour of the site with Commissioner Roger Goodell and brought his 1ON1s to previous season’s NFL events.

This fall, YouTube becomes the new exclusive home of NFL Sunday Ticket. YouTube’s partnership with the NFL includes giving select YouTube creators, like Deestroying, exclusive access to official NFL content and unique attendance opportunities at NFL games and events.

Born in Costa Rica, Deestroying’s path to stardom is uniquely his own. After moving to the U.S. with his family when he was seven years old, his talent and passion for football led to a full-ride scholarship as starting kicker for the University of Central Florida – where he first began creating his signature videos. His fast-paced rise into the spotlight has paved the way for other young athletes to seek alternative channels of success and financial opportunity beyond the conventional routes.

FNN SPORTS

TAMPA, Fla. (FNN SPORTS) — The Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced a series of roster moves Tuesday as the team continues preparations for the 2026 NFL season.

The Buccaneers waived safety Ja’Qurious Conley with a non-football injury designation.

In addition, Tampa Bay placed cornerback Chase Lucas and defensive lineman Haggai Ndubuisi on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) List.

Players placed on the Active/PUP List count toward the club’s 90-player offseason roster and remain eligible to return to practice at any point before the NFL’s deadline to reduce rosters to the regular-season 53-player limit.

The moves come as the Buccaneers continue evaluating their roster during training camp in preparation for the upcoming preseason schedule and the start of the regular season.

What the Moves Mean

A player waived with a non-football injury (NFI) designation has sustained an injury or medical condition that did not occur during NFL football activities. If Conley clears waivers, the Buccaneers’ next steps will depend on league rules and his injury status.

The Active/PUP List is reserved for players who are unable to practice because of football-related injuries at the start of training camp. While on the Active/PUP List, Lucas and Ndubuisi may participate in team meetings and receive medical treatment, and they can be activated at any time before the team’s final roster reduction.

ORLANDO, Fla. (FNN SPORTS) — The Orlando Pride extended their home dominance Friday night, defeating the Kansas City Current 3-0 at Inter&Co Stadium behind a historic performance from Marta, another goal from Barbra Banda, and a standout effort from goalkeeper Anna Moorhouse.

The victory improves Orlando to 6-6-2 (20 points), while Kansas City falls to 8-6-0 (24 points). The win marks the Pride’s fourth consecutive home victory and hands the Current its first loss in its last five visits to Orlando.

Scoreless First Half Sets Stage for Offensive Explosion

Both clubs created scoring opportunities during an evenly contested first half, but neither side was able to break through before halftime.

Orlando’s defense withstood constant pressure from Kansas City, setting the stage for a dominant second-half performance.

Marta Becomes First Pride Player to Reach 50 Goals

The Pride wasted little time after the break.

Just four minutes into the second half, Marta collected a pass from Jacquie Ovalle before curling a spectacular left-footed shot from outside the penalty area into the back of the net.

The goal gave Orlando a 1-0 lead and marked a historic milestone for the club.

Marta became the first player in Orlando Pride history to score 50 goals across all competitions.

Ovalle recorded her team-leading third assist of the season on the play.

Anderson Doubles Orlando’s Lead

The Pride struck again in the 57th minute.

Midfielder Ally Lemos delivered a perfectly placed corner kick that defender Hannah Anderson headed into the net for a 2-0 advantage.

The goal was Anderson’s second of the season, while Lemos earned her second assist of the 2026 campaign.

Barbra Banda Adds League-Leading 12th Goal

Substitute Barbra Banda put the match out of reach in the 85th minute.

After Kansas City’s goalkeeper misplayed a clearance outside the penalty area, Banda capitalized by calmly finishing into an open net.

The goal was Banda’s NWSL-leading 12th goal of the season and the first she has scored as a substitute in her professional career.

Moorhouse Records Milestone Appearance

Goalkeeper Anna Moorhouse anchored Orlando’s defense with a season-high nine saves, preserving the club’s fifth clean sheet of the season.

Friday’s match also marked Moorhouse’s 100th appearance across all competitions for the Pride, making her just the fifth player in club history to reach the milestone.

Orlando’s five shutouts rank third in the National Women’s Soccer League this season.

Seb Hines Praises Complete Team Performance

Head coach Seb Hines credited his team’s disciplined approach and collective effort.

“Really pleased with the result. I think it was quite even in the first half. We had some half-chances, and we tried to stop their key players from having a big influence on the game. I thought the players implemented the game plan very well.”

Hines continued:

“We had some really outstanding performances. It was a really big collective effort from everyone. It was nice to get some goals and a clean sheet at the end of it.”
