Jason Kelce is one of the most polarizing figures ever played in the NFL. During his 13-season career, the center won a Super Bowl and played in seven Pro Bowls, making him statistically one of the best players.
Now that the former All-Pro offensive lineman is retired, he has plenty of off-time to do as he pleases. He obviously has a keen interest in athletics, which may explain why he is currently enjoying the Olympics in Paris.
Jason and his wife Kylie are in Paris to support the Olympic athletes, and one of the teams they were seen supporting is the Olympic rugby team. While it may surprise some, fans of the former offensive lineman weren’t surprised to hear that he had accepted an arm wrestling challenge from rugby star Nicole Heavirland.
Heavirland was a former basketball player before deciding to take on the daunting game of rugby while at the United States Military Academy. She eventually made her United States national team debut just two years after first joining the sport.
Did Nicole Heavirland Beat Jason Kelce?
Heavirland has been with the Olympic team since 2021, and she has been one of their best players since joining the squad. Even though the Olympic stands at just 5-foot-5, she is 145 pounds of pure muscle.
Kelce, on the other hand, has reportedly lost a ton of weight since retiring from the NFL just six months ago, which could help to explain the outcome of the arm wrestle match between the two.

The arm wrestling match was extremely competitive, and it took over 30 seconds to declare a winner. Kelce ended up taking the victory over Heavirland, but fans were impressed with her performance in the intense match.
One fan commented, “Nice of you to let him win,” while another added, “Total table hold,” referring to Kelce’s apparent table hold in the video. Kylie Kelce herself even joined in on the fun, commenting, “I tried to warn you!”
While Jason Kelce may have retired from the NFL, it’s clear that many fans wouldn’t mind seeing the 36-year-old try his hand at rugby.
