Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce is a man of the people so much so that he took a moment to sign a pair of cheeks.
Okay, well, they were plastic, but it still counts.
Kelce inked the fans' fake cheeks during his bartending event in Sea Isle City, New Jersey this week to raise awareness and funds for the Eagles Autism Foundation.
So, it was for a good cause.
Many NFL fans, especially Eagles fans, will get the joke but incase you don't, it has to do with the infamous 'Tush Push' play.
The "Tush Push" is the Eagles' way of running a QB sneak where the offensive line comes together on short-yardage situations to literally push Jalen Hurts' tush for an almost guaranteed first down.
Sure, other teams have run the play before, but the Eagles have been successful on over 90 percent of their attempts while the other 31 teams combine for a 70 percent success rate.
Kelce was a big part of that play and now that he's retired many wonder if he the Eagles will be just as successful without him.
That is if the NFL continues to let the Eagles run the play with rumors circulating every year saying the league is hoping to permanently ban it.
But until then, you can bet that the Eagles will at least attempt to use the play to their advantage, even without Kelce at the heart of it.
