He might be retired from football, but Jason Kelce just proved he’s still the ultimate crowd favorite — and one fan’s hilarious confession made sure of it. 😂

The former Philadelphia Eagles center-turned-ESPN analyst became the unexpected star of Monday night’s broadcast after an on-air exchange (well, attempted exchange) with a fan who proudly declared she was only there to see him.

The moment instantly went viral — and it’s easy to see why.

💚 “Packer Fan by Marriage… But Only Here for Jason Kelce!”

During ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown ahead of the Eagles vs. Packers matchup on November 10, cameras caught a woman in the Lambeau Field stands holding a handmade sign that said it all:

“Packer fan by marriage. Not gonna lie — only here to see Jason Kelce.”

The sign even featured a doodle of Jason wearing his signature green ESPN shirt and a cheesehead — a perfect blend of NFL fandom and Kelce humor.

When the broadcast crew noticed it, Jason couldn’t resist reading it out loud on air — and the internet lost its mind.

🎥 Jason’s On-Air Reaction: “You Look Good!”

The moment Jason saw the sign, he burst out laughing.

“Shoutout to Ky — ‘Not Gonna Lie,’” he quipped, cleverly referencing Kylie Kelce’s hit podcast, Not Gonna Lie With Kylie Kelce.

Then, with a grin that could rival his brother Travis’, he leaned toward the  camera and tried to talk to the fan directly.

“You look good! Say hi!” he called out, waving with both hands.

But the fan — completely unaware she was live on national  TV — never looked up. The irony sent both Jason and his co-hosts into fits of laughter.

“She doesn’t even know you’re talking to her!” one analyst laughed. “That’s true love right there.”

🤣 Kelce’s Co-Hosts Couldn’t Stop Teasing Him

Ryan Clark and Marcus Spears immediately jumped in on the fun.

“We actually met some folks who said they postponed their marriage to be here tonight,” they joked, sending Jason into mock disbelief.

Even the production crew couldn’t hold back their laughter as the clip replayed — cementing the moment as an instant Monday Night Football classic.

Fans online were quick to chime in, too:
💬 “Find someone who looks at you the way that fan looks at Jason Kelce.”
💬 “This man retires and somehow becomes even more lovable.”
💬 “Kylie better start selling ‘Not Gonna Lie’ shirts with that quote!”

🏈 Life After Football Looks Pretty Good for Jason Kelce

Since officially retiring from the NFL in March 2024 after a legendary 13-season career with the Eagles, Jason has seamlessly transitioned into his next chapter as a broadcaster and family man.

His tearful retirement speech — attended by wife Kylie, brother Travis, and parents Donna and Ed Kelce — left fans emotional. But since then, he’s brought the same authenticity and humor that made him a Philly icon to his ESPN role.

Jason joined Monday Night Countdown later that year, admitting he was nervous for his TV debut — and even forgot his shirt on his first day (something Taylor Swift, Travis’s fiancée, later teased him about).

Now, a year in, he’s thriving — equal parts analyst, entertainer, and everyone’s favorite big brother on screen.

💫 From the Field to the Fans — Kelce’s Charm Lives On

Even without pads or a helmet, Jason Kelce continues to win over audiences — not just for his football IQ, but for his humor, heart, and unfiltered authenticity.

And as Monday night proved, whether it’s breaking down plays or breaking into laughter, fans will keep showing up — signs and all — just to see him.

“He’s the kind of guy you can’t help but love,” one viewer posted. “Even if you married a Packers fan.” 💚😂
