A new video of Jason Kelce’s altercation with a Penn State student has surfaced online following Saturday’s viral incident.
The former Eagles star showed up in multiple recordings smashing the young fan’s phone after the latter used a homophobic slur in reference to Travis Kelce.
A new clip has popped up online showing what took place in the immediate aftermath, with the kid heard hurling several insults at the ex-center and going on a rant over his broken phone.
Check it out below:
Ok I hadn’t seen this video. This kid really survived death. If Jason Kelce wasn’t Jason Kelce, I’m pretty sure this kid would be in the hospital. Who raises these young men. pic.twitter.com/Fk5IgMOJ2f

Jason Kelce Addressed The Incident On Monday Night
Jason Kelce has since addressed the viral incident, noting he was not proud of his actions during what he described as a “heated moment.”
“Listen, I’m not happy with anything that took place,” he said on ‘Monday Night Countdown’ ahead oc the Bucs-Chiefs game. “I’m not proud of it. In a heated moment, I chose to greet hate with hate, and I just don’t think that’s a productive thing…In that moment I fell down to a level that I shouldn’t have. Bottom line is, I want to live my life…I try to treat people with common decency and respect…
“Even though I fell short this week, I’m gonna do that moving forward.”

Kelce won’t have to deal with any punishment from ESPN as the network has decided to stay out of it. But the incident might not be completely behind him yet.
