Former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce had an unexpected and memorable interaction during Monday night’s Chiefs-Saints game, where he signed a fan’s prosthetic leg. Kelce, now an analyst for ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown, shared the amusing moment during the latest episode of his New Heights podcast, which he co-hosts with his brother, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce.
The fan encounter occurred while Jason was in Kansas City for his TV duties. Recalling the moment on the podcast, Jason explained, “This was a woman, and I know it was a woman because as I was signing the prosthetic leg, I looked up and she had her leg up in the air. There was nothing mid-shin and down. It was a dead giveaway. Not the first leg I have signed.”
Jason’s lighthearted attitude about the unusual autograph session reflects his approachable nature, and it’s clear that his gesture made the fan’s day. Signing a prosthetic leg might not be a typical fan interaction, but for Jason, who’s always been known for connecting with fans, it was just another memorable moment.
Beyond his unique autograph encounter, Jason was at the game in his new role as an ESPN analyst. After retiring from the NFL following an illustrious career with the Eagles, Jason transitioned into sports media, providing insights on games and teams during ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown.

Monday night was an extra-special occasion for Jason, as he had the chance to watch his brother Travis play live. While Travis didn’t score a touchdown, he had a solid performance, catching nine passes for 70 yards as the Chiefs went on to secure a 26-13 victory, improving their season record to 5-0.
Despite an uncharacteristic game from Patrick Mahomes, who threw no touchdown passes and one interception, the Chiefs still managed to win thanks to their all-around team effort.
The game wasn’t just a personal highlight for the Kelce brothers, but it also gave fans a special treat, with Jason Kelce’s on-field presence adding a fun dynamic to the night.
Looking ahead, the Chiefs will face the San Francisco 49ers in their next game, a highly anticipated rematch of Super Bowl LVIII, which they won earlier this year. The game is set for October 20 with a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, and fans are already buzzing about the showdown between two of the NFL’s top teams.
As Jason continues his post-football career, moments like these highlight the fun and unexpected interactions he experiences while still being involved in the sport. And for the lucky fan whose leg he signed, it’s a moment they won’t soon forget.
