Jason Kelce Sparks Concern Among NFL Fans About His ESPN Performance After Wild Pre-Game Eagles Tailgate

Jason Kelce has returned to the Philadelphia Eagles – as a broadcaster – and fans were worried on Monday whether he’d be able to perform his ESPN duties after some wild pregame partying.

Kelce, who will be part of ESPN’s Monday Night Football broadcast with his former team taking on the Falcons, certainly made the most of his status as an ex-player as he was seen tossing beers to fans.

In another moment, he could be seen enthusiastically dancing onstage in an all-green tracksuit – and some fans were questioning whether or not he’d be in a condition for TV in a few hours.

‘How many drinks did Jason have today? The line has got to be set at 15,’ one said on X.

‘How is Jason Kelce going to do a live show tonight?,’ another asked.

‘He’s going to need to somewhat coherent since he is covering the game,’ a different fan added. ‘Or not. Probably good TV either way.’

Other fans were loving the former center’s dancing.

‘The king is home and ready to drink beers,’ one said.

‘Dancing with the Stars coming soon?,’ another cracked.

Even Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who passes to Jason’s brother Travis, gave the former Eagle some props, writing, ‘go crazy then!!’ with five crying-laughing emojis.

Kelce seemed to acknowledge the rowdy pregame festivities after taking his place on the ESPN set, saying, ‘I don’t know if I have any more energy guys.’

He was also seen wiping sweat from his forehead during the live ESPN broadcast.

Prior to that, he got the Philly crowd rocking as he screamed into a microphone and led an ‘E-A-G-L-E-S’ chant onstage.

He was then joined onstage by retired Eagles Fletcher Cox and Nick Foles as they helped him hype up the crowd.

The Monday night matchup is only Kelce’s second appearance on the network as a broadcaster, after he made his debut prior the the Jets-49ers game last week.

And this week, Kelce will actually have added responsibility, appearing in the booth as well as his usual pregame role.

Monday Night Football color commentator Troy Aikman revealed the development on his X account.

‘Making room for my new teammate and future HOF’er @jasonkelce as he will be joining @joebuck and myself in the 3rd quarter on Monday Night Football tonight on ESPN,’ Aikman posted on X.

Kelce certainly made a first impression in his ESPN debut as he admitted to forgetting his luggage en route to San Francisco and joking about his ‘t**s’ when discussing his physique.

Nonetheless, his sense of humor proved to be a hit with most fans and he’ll hope to resonate in the same way on Monday.
