Jason Kelce is one of the most affable persons within the football community. He's renowned for his jovial character, as he's for his storied playing career, winning a Super Bowl and becoming a multiple-time All-Pro and Pro Bowler. However, he can be just as verbally and wittily hard-hitting, as Antonio Brown found out the hard way.
On Sunday, Brown posted an image of the former Philadelphia Eagles center as a bespectaced child, wearing a T-shirt with "I (expletive) on the first date" and light blue shorts and holding a blue lunchbox, captioned:
"I didn’t know until now that this is Jason Kelce as a child…."
Kelce's response went:

Jason Kelce in attendance during Eagles' Wild Card win over Packers
Also on Sunday, the Eagles hosted the Green Bay Packers in the Wild Card Round. And like any proud Philadelphian, Jason Kelce was in attendance; and he had a wonderful time, writing on players’ jerseys.
He wrote on one of them:
“stop throwing jerseys at me… Jason Kelce… Go Birds!! Love You”
He also showed up wearing a black “Quinyonamo Bay” hoodie, the nickname of rookie cornerback Quinyon Mitchell.
The Eagles would dominantly win 22-10 to advance to the Divisional Round on Sunday, where they will visit either the Minnesota Vikings or Los Angeles Rams. After the game, running back Saquon Barkley, who signed with the team just some days after Kelce’s retirement and proceeded to have a monstrous 2,005-yard campaign, said:
"A year ago, I put out a tweet when I was on my couch watching playoff football that I had to find a way to get back in it. So, I’m just happy to be here."
Meanwhile, wideout AJ Brown, who became viral for his one-catch disappearance and concurrent sideline reading, dismissed any notions of being frustrated:
"This game is 90% mental and 10% physical for me. I bring (the book) to every game and I read it between each drive. I use it to refocus and lock in despite what may transpire in the game, good or bad. People tend to create controversy when they don't know the truth."
Kickoff for the Eagles vs. Rams/Vikings game is at 3 PM ET on NBC.
