Jason Kelce’s Stubborn Long-Snapping Was the Highlight of Night 1 of the Pro Bowl Games

Jason Kelce’s outgoing and eccentric personality was on full display during Thursday night’s Pro Bowl Games.

The Philadelphia Eagles center participated in the “snap shots” game in night one, in which centers and long snappers got to show off their accuracy. Rather than go for points, Kelce went for glory, aiming every one of his snaps for the highest potential target he could hit.

Every football Kelce snapped during the competition was aimed towards the middle hole on the board, which was the smallest of the five holes, and worth five points. Kelce was clearly frustrated by getting so close to the slot.

But, his determination paid off. As the clock ticked near the end of his round, Kelce made one football in the five-point slot.

This could be Kelce’s last Pro Bowl appearance as he’s contemplating retiring this offseason. He’s spent all 13 of his NFL seasons with the Eagles.
