Just recently, NFL icon and former Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce covered a game between the Denver Broncos and Cleveland Browns while wearing a Tom Nalen jersey. Along with the game, he was quizzed about something related to Kansas City Chiefs’ Travis Kelce and forgot the right answer right then and there.
In a surprising turn of events, the former NFL center and current ESPN analyst made headlines by crashing a Broncos tailgate while wearing a Tom Nalen jersey. This unexpected appearance took place before the Denver Broncos faced off against the Cleveland Browns on Monday Night Football. Kelce’s choice of attire was notable not only for its tribute to the legendary Broncos center but also because he hails from Cleveland and has a brother playing for the rival Kansas City Chiefs.

The former Philadelphia star explained his choice on social media, stating that he honors former greats of the home team whenever he attends a tailgate. He expressed admiration for Nalen, noting how he looked up to him while learning the center position as an undersized player. Despite his support for the Broncos, he made it clear that he rooted for the Browns due to his hometown ties, creating an interesting dynamic during the tailgate festivities.
Fans at the tailgate welcomed the Philadelphia icon with enthusiasm, showcasing the camaraderie and spirit that often characterizes football gatherings. Many expressed surprise and delight at seeing the former Eagles player in Broncos colors.
Nalen, who played for the Broncos from 1994 to 2008, was a key figure in the team’s success, contributing to two Super Bowl victories. His gesture not only honored a football legend but also bridged connections between fans of different teams.
