Eagles: Jason Kelce shows off big man speed, tosses Justin Reid aside

Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce is a big man, weighing in at 6-foot-3 and 282 pounds.
At 36 years old, he's also a much older man.
But is that stopping him from showing off his speed and absolutely wrecking opposing defenders? Nope.
In the Eagles' Monday night win, Kelce caught viewers' attention everywhere as he snapped the ball and then immediately sprinted full-speed downfield to knock Chiefs safety Justin Reid out of D'Andre Swift's route.
But speed isn't anything new for Kelce, who clocked a 4.14 short-shuttle time at the NFL Combine in 2011. His short-shuttle time still stands as the fastest by any offensive lineman in NFL Draft history.
That nasty block for Swift was just one of the many moves Kelce made on Monday that helped clinch the Eagles' ninth win.
The victory also notably marked the first time Kelce ever beat his brother Travis and his former head coach Andy Reid.
"I'm really happy,' [Jason] Kelce said to reporters after the game. 'I would have probably been happier if we would have put together a really dominant performance offensively and played great. I think the fact that we didn't do that makes it a little bittersweet. I think the defense is largely why we won the game today. Hats off to those guys, and I'm certainly happy to be 9-1."

The Chiefs’ mistakes were the Eagles’ gain.
