Jason Kelce is still Jason Kelce!
Future NFL Hall of Famer and former Super Bowl champion with the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tom Brady, wasn't the only player making his television debut in Week 1. Former Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman Jason Kelce also made his career debut.
Spending All 13 A decade after beginning his NFL career with the Eagles, the now-retired Kelce debuted as part of ESPN's “Monday Night Football Countdown” crew. He worked alongside a talented cast of hosts including Scott Van Pelt, Marc Spears and Ryan Clark. And the anticipation was instantly rewarded. Jason achieved instant success without even a word. (Related: The 'Caitlin Clark Effect' is so big it's competing with the NFL in TV ratings.)
Everyone in front of the camera was dressed for work: suit and tie business attire, except for Kelsey, who was indeed wearing a dress shirt, but there was just one problem: It was too tight for him.
Apparently, Kelsey forgot to bring his suit bag with him before heading to the stadium, and lo and behold, it made for some great TV.
“It fits my belly better now, I've lost some weight, but my boobs are still a pain,” Kelsey said.
