Did Jason Kelce Just Lose His Shorts? His Bold Patriotic Statement Leaves Everyone Speechless!

In a bold and unforgettable display of his larger-than-life personality, former Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce stole the show at a fundraising event for the Eagles Autism Foundation in Sea Isle City, New Jersey, on Wednesday, June 25. The 37-year-old retired NFL center turned heads and sparked roars of laughter when he made a jaw-dropping entrance that left the crowd buzzing with excitement.

The day kicked off with a family-friendly gathering at Excursion Park, followed by the 5th annual Team 62 celebrity bartending event at Ocean Drive. Kelce arrived in true patriotic flair, rocking a white muscle tank, star-spangled shorts, white sneakers, and a vibrant baseball cap. But it was his next move that sent the audience into a frenzy.

In a moment captured by the Philadelphia Eagles’ official X account, Kelce climbed atop a lifeguard chair positioned in the heart of the crowd, commanding everyone’s attention. With a mischievous grin, he grabbed his shorts and, in one swift motion, ripped them off to reveal a pair of red, white, and blue underwear that perfectly matched his patriotic vibe. The crowd erupted in cheers, laughter, and gasps as Kelce hopped down and strutted into the event, leaving onlookers in awe of his fearless antics.

The Eagles’ X post, captioned simply, “We have no words… @eaglesautism | #FlyEaglesFly,” perfectly summed up the electric atmosphere. Fans on the platform were quick to celebrate Kelce’s unapologetic charm. “That’s pure Jason Kelce right there. Most players retire and disappear. Kelce climbs on a lifeguard chair in a flag Speedo because he genuinely loves his people,” one fan wrote. Another chimed in, “Wouldn’t expect less for Jason Kelce.”

In a follow-up post, the Eagles shared a photo of Kelce sans shorts, playfully noting, “This is what happens when Jason brings pants for Jason.” The caption was a nod to Kelce’s well-known habit of forgetting to pack properly for trips. During the 2024 American Century Championship in Lake Tahoe, Kelce admitted that his wife, Kylie, had to step in and buy him khaki pants at the last minute. “If I’m being honest, Kylie went out and bought them last minute and packed them for me,” he confessed in response to a post from NBC Sports Bay Area & CA.

This isn’t the first time Kelce has embraced his wild side. The father of four made headlines in 2024 when he whipped off his shirt to cheer on his brother, Travis Kelce, during a Kansas City Chiefs vs. Buffalo Bills playoff game. Reflecting on the moment with PEOPLE in September 2024, Kelce described the experience as “a fun one,” fueled by the electric energy of the Bills Mafia and the high stakes of the game. “I think I kind of got possessed by fandom on that occasion,” he said with a laugh, adding, “Probably alcohol as well, but we’ll leave it at fandom.”

Kelce’s latest stunt at the Eagles Autism Foundation event only cements his status as a fan favorite who never shies away from having fun for a good cause. His infectious energy and heartfelt dedication to the Philadelphia community continue to make him a beloved figure both on and off the field. As fans cheered his patriotic strip-down, one thing was clear: Jason Kelce knows how to make an entrance—and leave a lasting impression.
