Jason Kelce, the 36-year-old retired Super Bowl champion, added a unique twist to his autograph signing at a charity event this week. On Wednesday, Kelce was seen inscribing his name on the rears of two enthusiastic Philadelphia Eagles fans, a moment that certainly added a touch of humor to the occasion.
The event in question was the fourth annual ‘Jason Kelce Beach Bash’ at the Ocean Drive in Sea Isle City, New Jersey. The fans’ creative display honored the Eagles’ iconic ‘tush push’ or ‘Brotherly Shove,’ a variant of the quarterback sneak created by the team under Jalen Hurts. During this play, the offensive line and other offensive players would collectively push Hurts further than a typical QB sneak, often resulting in a touchdown.
Kelce played a pivotal role in executing this move during his final two seasons with the Eagles. As the former center, he would snap the ball to Hurts near the end zone, setting up his teammates for a successful score. According to reports from last season, Kelce would even exclaim, ‘Fudge my life,’ just seconds before expecting to be squeezed by the opposing team’s big-bodied players.

The ‘tush push,’ also known as the ‘Brotherly Shove,’ gained popularity during Jason Kelce’s time with the Philadelphia Eagles.
In an interview with NBC, Kelce commented on the physical demands of the ‘tush push,’ saying, “Man, all the weight and everything lying up on top of you… And you’ve got to wait for everybody else to get up before you can get up… It’s a grueling play, for sure. And, you know, if you do it right, you’re at the bottom.” He further added, “[…] If you’re not at the bottom, it usually didn’t go well…”
The charity event hosted by Kelce aimed to raise funds for the Eagles Autism Foundation, a cause that he and his wife, Kylie, passionately support. The event also featured a memorable moment where Kylie belted out Taylor Swift’s ‘Love Story’ while impressively holding three full jugs of beer.

The Kelce brothers’ New Heights podcast shared a viral video of Kylie’s impressive singing and beer-balancing skills, with the caption, ‘Sing it, Ky!!!’ Swifties were quick to express their admiration for Kylie, with comments like, ‘We love a supportive sister-in-law’ and ‘Supportive in-laws >>>>’. Some even hinted at a potential future wedding between Kylie’s brother-in-law and Taylor Swift, saying, ‘She’s going to be the best sister-in-law (well, she already is).’
Jason Kelce, who weighed 295 lbs during his football career, also turned heads with his recent weight loss transformation, which was noticeable during his trip to Cannes, France, with his brother and Chiefs star, Travis.
