Jason Kelce hilariously shot down a fan who asked if he was using steroids on social media by showing his terrible time during a recent charity 5K run.
Kelce competed in a 5K in Sea Isle City, New Jersey, and revealed that he crossed the finish line of the 5.1-mile course in about 45 minutes, or just under a 15-minute mile pace.
The former Philadelphia Eagles center revealed his time on the latest episode of his “New Heights” podcast, which he hosts with his younger brother and Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce.
The younger Kelce, who took time off from hanging out with girlfriend Taylor Swift, mocked his brother for what is not an impressive time for a former professional athlete.
Others on social media lambasted the person who asked the question, using evidence of Jason’s shirtless photo from a luxury Buffalo box, showing his offensive lineman’s body as all the proof anyone needs to see that the future ESPN analyst never took performance-enhancing drugs used.

“I ran/walked a 5K,” Jason admitted when Travis told him he was running, before the former Eagles center began explaining the day: “We were down there, we have a house there now, it’s great when you take the girls to the beach and let them run.”
“So I tried to run it… I had my Monarchs, not the best running shoes. They are great lawn mowing shoes, not a 5k shoe. We started running, and I should have known… first of all, we were late, so it had already started,” Kelce added.
Jason Kelce and steroid use also entered the same realm during this week’s “New Heights” episode.
Kelce presented his belief that Secretariat, who won the Triple Crown in dominant fashion in 1973, was a “juicer.” Secretariat’s Belmont Stakes victory by 31 lengths is perhaps the most replayed clip in horse racing.
Secretariat was a topic of conversation on the podcast after last Saturday’s Kentucky Derby.
Some horse racing fans were angry that Kelce delegitimized what most people consider to be the greatest Thoroughbred of all time.
Kelce had no problem defending his position online, but later apologized without trying to offend anyone.
