Watch: Eagles' Jason Kelce thrown under the bus by teammates

Philadelphia’s Jason Kelce has a dirty job and does it well. But that didn’t stop his Eagles teammates from trashing his lack of housekeeping skills recently.

At 6-foot-3 and 295 pounds, no one will ever confuse Kelce with a pretty boy running back or diva wide receiver. He looks every bit like an offensive lineman: big, hairy and apparently very messy.

When asked to name the player with the messiest locker on the team, Philadelphia’s most beloved athlete was a popular choice among Eagles players:

To be fair, left guard Landon Dickerson’s locker didn’t seem very neat, and left tackle Jordan Mailata’s area looked pretty sloppy as well.

As defensive linemen Brandon Graham and Fletcher Cox said, “All five starting offensive linemen” have the messiest lockers on the team.

But so what if Kelce’s locker is the worst? The five-time All-Pro center just started his 145th consecutive regular-season NFL game, passing John Runyan for the most in franchise history.

All things considered, that’s pretty “neat.”
