Jason Kelce, a former center for the NFL, is no stranger to online trends and viral videos. But the legendary Philadelphia Eagles player’s recent encounter with hecklers will undoubtedly go down in history.
Since being selected in the 2011 NFL Draft, Kelce has led the Philadelphia Eagles as a dominant force. As the first rookie to start every game for the Eagles in that season, the center created history right away. He had an ACL tear in 2012, which set him back, but he bounced back in 2013 and helped the team make it to the postseason.

After agreeing to a generous contract deal in 2014, Kelce kept up his impressive play, making his first Pro Bowl in 2014 and winning All-Pro status in 2017. The center was instrumental in the Eagles’ victory against the Patriots in Super Bowl LII that season. At the championship parade, he made a speech that will never be forgotten, solidifying his place in Philadelphia history.
Over the ensuing years, Kelce broke records for the team, agreed to many extensions to remain in Philadelphia, and he and his wife Kylie had three daughters. He thought about retiring, but he came back in 2022 as the highest-paid center in the NFL, and he played his brother Travis in Super Bowl LVII. With his retirement in 2024, Kelce’s remarkable 13-year career with the Eagles came to an end.
