Jason Kelce is responding to a viral photo of him appearing to be sleeping at the Taylor Swift concert

Jason Kelce never had to let his guard down when he played center for the Philadelphia Eagles, but he may have to now.

A photo of Kelce appearing to fall asleep at Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour concert in Miami recently went viral on social media, thanks to the sneaky camera skills of a friend who brought Kelce to the performance.

In light of the incriminating evidence, Kelce defended himself in this week’s episode New heights. The ESPN analyst called Swift’s show “incredible” before launching into an impassioned story about why he looked like he was napping during the concert.

“Travis, you know I didn’t take a nap,” Jason told his brother. ‘Back to this photo, I’m going to give some background on this. We brought a bunch of people to the show, mom went for the first time, and we’re trying to figure out, we get a box, we make sure everyone can come to the show… So I’m like, okay, I sit down, I just sit here and I just feel it, and I tap my thigh at that moment, and then all of a sudden I go on Twitter and I see this damn picture.

Kelce then pointed out one aspect of the photo that definitively proved his innocence.

“If you zoom in on my right hand, my hand floats. You can’t sleep if your hand is hovering above your knee. It’s impossible!”

True to Kelce’s word, his hand did indeed hover slightly above his right knee. He’s safe from the wrath of Swifties for now.
