Former Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce made a jaw-dropping entrance at the Eagles Autism Foundation’s charity event in Sea Isle City and it wasn’t just because he tore off his shorts.
The fan-favorite center, now retired, showed up in style, wearing a vintage Eagles hat, a cropped Shore Birds jersey and American flag shorts. But as he climbed a lifeguard chair and ripped the shorts off to reveal a matching speedo, fans couldn’t help but notice something else: Kelce looked noticeably slimmer.
Within minutes of the moment being shared by the Eagles’ official Instagram account as well as the New Heights podcast, which Jason Kelce co-hosts with his brother and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, fans flooded the comments, pointing out his changed appearance.
“Jeez he’s looking lean?!? Good on him!” one fan commented.
“No more linemen belly,” added another.
Many fans shared their support, noticing a new side of Jason Kelce that stood out just as much as the patriotic underwear.
“He looks like he trimmed down quite a bit,” someone wrote. “Definitely miss him on the field but I’m happy for him!”
“He’s been working out and eating well,” another chimed in.
Even humorous praise made it into the comments.
“Show off the new bod 😂,” joked a commenter.
“I’ll take whatever diet plan he is on!” said a fan.
