Jason Kelce is considered one of the finest offensive linemen of his generation. The former Philadelphia Eagles man headlined the center position for multiple seasons as a six-time first-team All-Pro.
However, not many could’ve predicted that Kelce would amount to such great things back in 2011 during his NFL Combine.
Fans Can’t Believe Jason Kelce’s Look From the 2011 NFL Combine
For several years Kelce was the rock in the Eagles’ offensive line. He overpowered the biggest of his rivals due to his sheer size. However, after the NFL posted Kelce’s Combine performance, fans found out that wasn’t always the case.

Fans couldn’t believe that Kelce was not yet 300+ pounds — during his 2011 NFL Combine appearance the seven-time Pro Bowler was just 280 pounds.
“It’s crazy how much mass these guys put on in the league,” responded one fan.
“he doesnt even look like a NFL player in this video LOL,” one fan commented.
“Looks undersized. I don’t think he’s going to last in the NFL,” joked a fan.
“Undersized center. Drafted in the 6th round….. unlikely he lasts in the league,” another fan joked.
“Wow he ate a f**kton of food when he got to the league,” added a fan.
“This really highlights how light Kelce was and how impressive it was for him to be so good as a NFL linemen as one of the lightest in the league,” another fan commented.
However, despite his undersized concerns, Kelce not only panned out at the NFL level but he excelled at the NFL Combine. He posted a 98th-percentile 20-yard shuttle and both a 97th-percentile 40-yard dash and three-cone drill, as well as being in the top quartile in both the broad jump (89th) and vertical jump (75th), according to MockDraftable.
Kelce Set To Welcome Another Baby Girl
Jason and his wife Kylie are expecting their fourth child; after three girls, the couple had hoped to add a male member to their family. During his recent appearance on TNT’s “The Steam Room,” he stated that he has made peace with it.
“I don’t think it’s necessarily if we want to have a boy because, at the end of the day, we’re not shooting with good percentages,” he said.
“We’ve got to give up on that idea. It’s like, ‘Do we want to have another child?’ And if we want to have another one, we’ll do that.”
