The best way NFL icon Jason Kelce remains connected to his fans is through his highly popular podcast, “New Heights.” The former Philadelphia Eagles center started the show with his brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, in 2002, and has become a well-loved program among millions of supporters.
In an attempt to boost his social media presence, Kelce recently created his own TikTok account. Given his old-school persona and non-Gen-Z ways, not too many fans anticipated the seven-time Pro Bowler’s decision to join the TikTok craze.

In the latest episode of “New Heights,” the brothers reacted to a fan review of Kelce’s TikTok account. While Kelce’s videos were described as something either a grandpa or a toddler shot, the fan declared that it had become one of his favorite accounts on TikTok.
Kelce’s reaction to the review involved an honest personal admission.
“I mean, I feel like a grandpa using TikTok,” said the 38-year-old. “I really do not get it one bit.”
Travis Kelce chimed in by supporting his brother’s endeavor, praising him for being “special” and “authentic.” According to the Chiefs star, “that's what people love the most about you in terms of the content you create.”
Jason Kelce conceded that his wife, Kylie Kelce, has asked him to stop the TikTok madness. The Super Bowl-winning center also admitted that shooting one of his “dumb” videos took so much time and effort.
To be fair, Kelce’s TikTok has amassed quite a following. Despite his profile saying he has “no clue what I’m doing,” Kelce already has 571,200 followers and 1.4 million likes, and counting.
