Watch: Eagles All-Pro Jason Kelce pounds a beer and hugs the Phillie Phanatic during Game 2 of NLCS

Philadelphia Eagles All-Pro center Jason Kelce knows how to party.

Kelce has already jump-started a musical career, collaborating with his fellow lineman on a Christmas album. Though, he might have a future as a hype man as well, firing up the crowd at Citizens Bank Park during Game 2 of the NLCS between the Philadelphia Phillies and San Deigo Padres.

Kelce came onto the field in between innings, dropped to a knee, and chugged a beer in mere seconds before tossing the empty can into the air. As the crowd erupted, Kelce hugged the Phillie Phanatic before leaving the field.

All in a day's work for the Eagles' bearded menace.

Kelce has long been a Philly favorite, proven by the response he received Friday night from Phillies fans.

Drafted by the Eagles in 2011, Kelce is one of the longest-tenured athletes in the city, meaning he understands the fanbase at a deeper level.

"We're kind of in the business of hope," Kelce said last week. "And when the sports teams are doing well, and when the Eagles, Phillies, Sixers, everybody is kind of going in the right direction, the city is going in the right."
