Fans Declare Jason Kelce Is Giving 'Big Girl Dad Energy' in Totally Unexpected New Collab
Just in time for the holidays, Jason Kelce is helping to bring back a beloved toy that kids everywhere will want in their stockings.
The recently retired Philadelphia Eagles center appeared in a new campaign for Hatchimals, the colorful eggs that "hatch" to reveal cute character toys, originally launched in 2016.
“I love getting down on the floor and playing with my kids, you know dishing out the fun dad energy,” said Kelce in a news release. “Breaking down the Hatchimals play was wild, it taps back, there’s magical mist and then it hatches and you get to see who’s inside?! Hatchimals definitely scores points with the Kelces. Did you see how cute the Pufficorn is?”

In a video shared to Instagram on Friday, Oct. 4, Kelce documented getting his own Hatchimal to open.
"It's almost like a present inside a present. You're getting two presents!" he said.
"This is probably how Kylie felt at 36 weeks pregnant," he added as he watched the egg start to light up. "Like, 'Get out of here already!'"
