The former football player showed off his support and his dance moves
Jason Kelce may be retired, but he’s still a Philadelphia Eagle at heart!
The former NFL player, 36, had all eyes on him before ESPN’s Monday Night Football broadcast as he kicked the evening off with some high-energy dance moves.
In one clip shared on X (formerly known as Twitter) by ESPN, the athlete, who spent his entire 13-year career as a center for the Eagles, celebrated his team by wearing a green tracksuit while dancing to a techno mix of “MILLION DOLLAR BABY” by Tommy Richman.

One of his dance moves featured the football star running in place.
Another video, also shared by ESPN, showed Kelce having fun with fans as he walked through the crowd for a pregame tailgate ahead of the main event. The Eagles mascot was trailing behind him.
Kelce also tossed beer to adoring fans and signed football jerseys during the tailgate.
By the time he joined his cohosts for ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown to discuss the Eagles’ game against the Atlanta Falcons, Kelce couldn’t help but admit he had outdone himself.

“I don’t know if I have any more energy guys,” Kelce said once he made it to the stage.
Over the weekend, his wife, Kylie Kelce, shared a photo of the two of them joined by their three daughters — Wyatt, 4, Elliotte, 3, and Bennett, 19 months — as she reflected on how this football season looks different from the last since Jason’s March retirement.
“Training camp looked a little different this year. Watching you at the Linc on Monday is going to be a little different too. Just know that the girls and I are loving cheering you on in this new chapter!” she captioned an Instagram photo of the family of five.

At the end of her post, Kylie, 32, shared a bit of advice for her husband ahead of his hosting gig: “Maybe try not to say tits this week?”
Her message followed his ESPN Monday Night Countdown team debut on Sept. 9, where the former football player dropped the risqué word during his first broadcast.
The conversation Kylie was referring to happened on-air before the San Francisco 49ers took on the New York Jets at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clarita, Calif.
“All that said, Jason Kelce is wearing a shirt he got at the mall because he left his travel bag in the truck,” Scott Van Pelt said after congratulating Jason on his accomplishments — including co-hosting the New Heights podcast with his brother Travis Kelce and winning a Super Bowl.
“It fits my belly now. I’ve lost a little bit of weight, but my tits are still struggling,” Kelce replied.
