Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce may be contemplating retirement, but for now, he is wholeheartedly enjoying life’s moments. The seven-time Pro Bowl center made a lively appearance in western New York on Sunday to support his younger brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
Despite the presence of music superstar Taylor Swift and the Chiefs’ 27-24 victory over the Buffalo Bills, it was the elder Kelce who arguably took center stage. Travis’s touchdown reception from quarterback Patrick Mahomes in the second quarter set a record for the most postseason touchdown connections between a QB and tight end, sparking exuberant celebrations from Jason.
Captured on broadcast in a suite at Highmark Stadium, the 36-year-old was seen shirtless, passionately cheering with a drink in hand. The Chiefs dubbed him their “No. 1 hype man” on social media. A viral moment ensued when Kelce leaped out of the box to engage with Bills fans, taking a swig of a drink before vaulting back into the suite.
In an amusing twist, someone on the internet utilized AI to generate images of Jason Kelce as Funko Pop collectibles. Funko Pop figures are vinyl figurines featuring characters from pop culture, movies, and real life, known for their distinctive oversized heads and black eyes. The popularity of Funko Pop has surged worldwide since its inception in 2010.
Kelce’s lively presence extended to pre-game festivities, where he mingled with Buffalo fans, drinking from a bowling ball and exchanging high-fives with members of the ‘Bills Mafia.’ Jason Kelce’s vibrant antics undoubtedly stole the spotlight, even overshadowing the presence of Taylor Swift.
