The retired Philadelphia Eagles center and Ed Kelce plugged the brothers’ beer brand along with a little help from a Travis cardboard cutout
Travis Kelce is busy getting ready for the NFL season — but that didn’t stop his dad and brother from having some fun at the tight end’s expense.
In outtakes from an ad for the brothers’ Garage Beer, Ed and Jason Kelce joke about the Kansas City Chiefs star being too busy to join them — and substitute a cardboard cutout of the NFL standout for the promo.

“It’s good to have everyone here,” Jason, 36, says to his father, to which Ed replies sarcastically, “That’s gonna happen, to get you and Travis in the same place.”
In the spot, the Kelce patriarch wears a straw hat and Hawaiian shirt while the retired NFL star shows off his newly slimmer physique in khaki shorts and a white tee.
“We’re all here, Dad,” Jason added with a smirk, as he gestures to the cutout of his brother, which Ed points out is “shorter” than the real Travis.
“You couldn’t afford a full-size [cutout]?” Ed said, as they both laugh.
It’s been an action-packed 2024 for the 34-year-old Super Bowl champ Travis and the former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason, who retired from the league after 13 seasons last March.
Travis has been spotted attending girlfriend Taylor Swift’s European Eras Tours shows and has lined up acting gigs (Ryan Murphy’s Grotesquerie horror series and the upcoming Happy Gilmore sequel). Meanwhile, his older brother will serve as an analyst on ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown this season.
The Ohio natives shared on a June episode of their New Heights podcast that they had become part owners of the Cincinnati beverage brand, sharing at the time that they are fans of “beer that tastes better.”
“[This] isn’t making, like, a fancy slogan or trying to push you to, you know, have less calories and all that,” Travis shared. “No… if you like good beer, this is a good beer.”
“Our goal … we want this beer to be enjoyed by the guys… and women that drink beer, that enjoy beer,” Jason added.
