Jason Kelce and Life in the Friendly Skies
Jason Kelce is known by Philadelphia Eagles fans and the NFL community as one of the most outgoing and energetic personalities in the league. As the veteran center of the Eagles offensive line, Kelce is a leader both on and off the field thanks to his boisterous personality, willingness to have fun, and ability to lighten any situation with his humor. However, Kelce’s lively spirit and occasional antics also mean that he probably wouldn’t behave like the average airplane passenger when flying commercial. Here are a few things it’s unlikely Kelce would do when traveling by air based on his well-known personality traits and tendencies.
Be Completely Inconspicuous
At 6’3″ and 295 pounds, Kelce cuts an imposing physical figure even without factoring in his NFL status. His large stature alone would make blending into an airplane crowd quite difficult. However, it’s not just his size that would draw attention – Kelce also has a very animated and energetic personality that he doesn’t tone down for anyone. He’s constantly smiling, laughing, and interacting enthusiastically with those around him. It’s hard to imagine Kelce being able to keep a low profile even if he tried. While he might opt for comfortable clothes like sweats or shorts, Kelce’s larger-than-life presence and friendly demeanor would still shine through. He doesn’t have a setting for inconspicuous – outgoing is Kelce’s default mode. Don’t expect to see him trying to quietly blend in amongst the other passengers.
Stay Quiet the Entire Flight
In keeping with his boisterous personality, it’s equally difficult to picture Kelce remaining silent for the duration of a multi-hour flight. As an offensive lineman, communication and leadership are crucial parts of his job on the field. It’s no surprise then that Kelce would find it hard to resist chatting with the people near him on the plane. He’s constantly cracking jokes and engaging in good-natured banter, so the chance of Kelce keeping to himself seems slim. It’s more likely he would take the opportunity to get to know his neighbors, tell stories and jokes to pass the time, or listen to music at a volume others could enjoy too. His friendly, outgoing nature makes staying quietly to himself an unlikely scenario. Plus, who wouldn’t want to sit next to the funny, charming Kelce for a flight?
Complain About Legroom
At 6’3″, Kelce is no stranger to feeling cramped in tight spaces. However, as a professional athlete who spends his career contorting his large frame into confined positions on the field, legroom on a plane is probably one issue he wouldn’t complain about. Offensive linemen are used to squeezing into tiny gaps and maintaining uncomfortable stances for long periods of time. Compared to holding a blocking position for multiple plays in a row, the limited legroom on an airplane is likely not a big deal for Kelce. His athletic background means he’s accustomed to pushing the limits of his flexibility and fitting into tight spaces. So while average passengers may grumble about legroom, don’t expect to hear any complaints from Kelce – he’s probably just happy to be off his feet after a long game or practice.
Follow All the Rules Rigidly
As an entertainer both on and off the field, Kelce seems to enjoy bending or playing with rules and conventions when the opportunity presents itself. Whether it’s his elaborate dances in the end zone, trash talk on the field, or lighthearted jabs at refs and opponents, Kelce likes finding creative or amusing ways to spice things up within the boundaries of the game. It’s this spirit of fun and rule-bending that indicates he probably wouldn’t adhere to airplane policies and procedures in a strictly by-the-book manner either. If there was a long delay, it’s easy to picture Kelce cracking jokes with flight attendants or trying to get passengers laughing to lighten the mood. He also may not be afraid to politely ask if certain small rules could be bent, like allowing music without headphones. Kelce brings laughter and levity to every situation, so a little flexible rule-following on a plane seems par for the course.
Of course, these are just conjectures based on the lively public persona Kelce has cultivated through his years in the NFL. There’s no way to say definitively how he would act in the friendly skies without actually observing him on a flight. His on-field leadership and comedic talents could translate to being a considerate passenger who follows protocols. At the same time, Kelce’s playful spirit suggests an ability to find humor even in routine activities like air travel. One thing that does seem certain is that whatever Kelce chooses to do, he’ll probably do it with his signature smile, good humor, and ability to connect with those around him. That engaging personality has helped him succeed both on the gridiron and in building relationships off of it. So while total inconspicuousness may not be Kelce’s style, passengers lucky enough to cross paths with him in the airport or on a plane are in for a fun-filled experience full of laughter if his past is any indication.
