ESPN football commentator and former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce is one of the most fun personalities on TV and his charisma has gained him fame after his NFL career.
Kansas City ChiefsTravis Kelce’s older brother is also somebody that does not shy away from challenges and that was pretty clear before the Monday Night Football game between the Miami Dolphins and the Los Angeles Rams.
The former Cincinatti Bearcats star went head to head with three Navy SEALs in a push up challenge that brought the very best out of the participants.
“This is nothing… oh, he’s going crazy, he’s going crazy,” can be heard from Kelce’s coworkers as Jason tries to win the challenge with all the strenght he has. “Fight, Jason, fight!” screamed former NFL player Ryan Clark, another ESPN commentator.
Some X users noticed that Jason Kelce was actually the one doing “a proper push up”. “Everybody else would be stuck at 0, iykyk”, wrote user @BeSmoothShawn.”
“Jason is the only one doing a full pushup. The other three are doing half ups. Only Jason’s would count on an Army Physical Fitness Test.” added user @AJMack11.
Travis Kelce reveals a family secret
Travis Kelce revealed his father weaponized his brother Jason’s talent to get him onto football teams to allow the budding tight end to find his path to the NFL, where he has gone on to become a triple Super Bowl champion.
The 35-year-old is two years younger than his brother and that was turned to his advantage as his father, Ed, managed to get him onto teams to play against slightly older year groups – a huge boost for his development.
It allowed the Kansas City Chiefs’ star to play against older people with a bit more knowledge in the game, offering him the extra sharpness and toughness he needed to go on to become one of the best tight ends in NFL history.
“I had a cheat code,” Travis said on the New Heights Podcast. “My dad, Big Ed Kelce, would go to all the teams that Jason was on.
“And he’d be like, ‘Hey, just put this guy on your roster. You never know when you’re going to need an extra body.’
“And sure enough, I would play, at least, a handful of games. Two years older. I’m facing guys that are like throwing real hard.”
