Former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce made headlines once again, this time at a charity event in Sea Isle City, New Jersey, where he stripped down to a pair of American flag-themed underwear during a public appearance, as reported [1] by the New York Post.
The incident occurred during the annual “Team 62” fundraiser held at the Ocean Drive bar, a recurring event that benefits the Eagles Autism Foundation.
Kelce, who has served as a celebrity bartender at the event for the past five years, climbed onto a tall green chair before dramatically removing his American flag shorts to reveal flag-patterned underwear underneath.
Fans cheered during the moment, with at least one attendee seen swinging Kelce’s discarded shorts in the air. The Philadelphia Eagles’ official social media account shared video footage of the scene with the caption, “We have no words…”

After the display, Kelce stepped down from the chair and resumed his duties behind the bar, continuing his role in raising money for autism research and support.
Kelce, 36, retired from professional football earlier this year after spending his entire 12-season career with the Eagles.
A six-time first-team All-Pro selection and seven-time Pro Bowl honoree, Kelce played a central role in the team’s 2017 Super Bowl victory over the New England Patriots.
While his on-field contributions earned him accolades and fan support, Kelce has also become widely known for his community involvement, personality, and public appearances.
His presence at the annual fundraiser has become one of the event’s most anticipated elements, often drawing large crowds.
In addition to his charity work, Kelce co-hosts the popular “New Heights” podcast with his brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
