ST.Jason Kelce Couldn’t Hear His “Own Screams” During Hilariously Chaotic Bobsledding Lesson with Team USA — The Wild Video Has Fans Crying With Laughter..
The retired NFL star suited up with the U.S. bobsled team for a YouTube video
Jason Kelce tried bobsledding, possibly for the first and last time.
As Jason, 38, and his wife Kylie Kelce head to Milan for the 2026 Winter Olympics, the former NFL star gave fans an inside look at his first bobsledding lesson, courtesy of Team USA.
Jason, wanting to see if he has “what to takes to sled the bobs,” shared a long video on his YouTube channel from the lesson with Team USA in Park City, Utah and a shorter clip on social media before adding in a few hilarious afterthoughts about the experience.

“For those of you wondering what it feels like to bobsled, these were my internal thoughts going down the track: I thought this would be like a fun roller coaster, but man was I wrong,” he said. “It started out quiet and smooth, but as we continued to pick up speed the intensity got higher and higher. The turns bounced my shoulders and head like I was back on a football field, the noise of the sled got louder and louder, rattling as if the whole thing was falling apart.”
Jason said the bobsled went “faster and faster” until it finally “topped out in turn eight at 84 miles an hour,” and he joked that his “280 pound body was being multiplied by 5 Gs and it felt like 1,400 pounds was pushing me into the bottom of the sled.”
He also said metal rails he was sitting on were “bruising my hips” during the run. “At that point, it was so loud I could no longer hear my own screams, which I’m not sure I was even producing because the air had been squeezed out of my body.”
The Super Bowl champ added that he “heard the relieving sound of the brakes” when he was wondering “how much more of it I could take.”https://www.youtube.com/embed/wdGJ1LPOg5c
At one point in the video, Jason, who wore a helmet featuring a photo of his brother Travis Kelce on the bobsled, was asked how confident he felt before he went down the track in the bobsled.
“How confident? I feel negative confident right now,” he said as he’s strapped on his gloves.
He also noted that he thought the bobsled would be “way wider” and dropped a couple of expletives during the lesson.
In January, Kylie, 33, told PEOPLE at her snowboarding lesson with Olympian Jamie Anderson that her husband is “good at everything” and said she’s “literally never” seen him not succeed at a sport.
“It’s so easy to cheer him on because he’s good at everything. He’ll try anything,” the podcast host said. “He’s such a good time like that. He will literally try anything.”
