Jason Kelce is a man of many talents. Not only is he a center for the Philadelphia Eagles, but it turns out he can sing and deliver quite the performance of the national anthem.
On Monday night, Kelce performed the "Star-Spangled Banner" ahead of the Philadelphia 76ers' game against the Denver Nuggets. Wearing a Sixers shirt, Kelce -- who said he was more nervous for this than most NFL games he's played in --stepped up to the Wells Fargo Center floor and did his thing, and, I have to say, he crushed it.
Check out his impressive performance:

Kelce said if he raised $100,000 by the end of 2021 for former Eagles teammate Connor Barwin's foundation, the Make The World Better Foundation, he would perform the anthem ahead of a Sixers game. The foundation wound up getting $114,000 by the end of 2021 and, as a man of his word, Kelce made sure to stick to his promise.
The Make The World Better Foundation, which helps build community spaces in Philly, said, "Your generous spirits are helping to keep our work with community and public spaces rolling, and we're so happy to share this moment with you. Big projects are rolling out soon, and you're gonna like the way you look, Philly."
Kelce, a 34-year-old NFL veteran, announced recently that he is coming back for his 12th NFL season.
