Former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce can’t seem to stave off featuring in viral online videos. Earlier this year Kelce was seen in a spat with a fan that involved him spiking a fan’s phone into the street.
Now, another video of Kelce is making the rounds on social media. This time an autograph-seeking fan went on a disgusting, profanity-laced tirade toward Kelce outside of the Jimmy Fallon Show studio until Kelce compromised and gave out autographs.
Jason Kelce was confronted by an angry autograph seeker who berated the retired NFL star outside the Jimmy Kimmel show studio Thursday night — and the interaction was all captured on video.

Fans reacted to the disturbing video on social media.
“Autograph seekers that stalk celebrities and scream at them are weirdos. Do they realize they’re in an alley in LA? Not the safest place for someone that’s famous to be around people acting like lunatics,” one fan said on Twitter.
“Jason played it smart and showed how cooler heads can prevail. He remembered what happened last time he smacked the cowardly student’s phone out of his hand so he didn’t want a repeat of that situation,” one fan added.
“What an absolute clown that guy is. Calls Jason the worst names possible and then when he comes to sign autographs he acts like he’s his biggest fan. “Don’t put that on the internet, I’m embarrassed about what I just said”. What a hypocrite. Dude should’ve been arrested,” one fan added.
I used to wait on Jason Kelce at a bar in Philadelphia and he’s the sweetest guy ever. He’s a lot nicer than I would have been to the foul mouthed jerk. He doesn’t owe that guy anything. Never in a million years would give an autograph to that awful creep,” one fan added.
It’s disgusting that Kelce would be treated this way, but his giving the guy an autograph just goes to show his character.
