A viral video captured the moment a former NFL player snapped while being harassed about his pop-star dating brother being referred to by a slur.

“Who’s the f***** now?”

Saturday’s rivalry matchup between the Ohio State University Buckeyes and Pennsylvania State University Nittany Lions proved heated off the gridiron as well when former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce outside Beaver Stadium.

While the Ohio-born Kelce was in attendance as a guest analysis for ESPN’s “College GameDay,” a persistent heckler at the Penn State home game pushed the former footballer to his limit while insulting his younger brother Travis Kelce’s relationship with Taylor Swift.

Within the clips posted on social media, Kelce could be seen walking with a case of beer with one held in the same hand as a young man followed behind him shouting, “Hey, Kelce! How does it feel your brother is a f***** for dating Taylor Swift?”

Turning around to confront the individual over what was said about the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, Kelce was readily seen grabbing a cellphone out of the heckler’s hand before smashing it to the ground.

The former professional athlete and podcaster was then seen snatching up the device off the ground before storming off, only to have the owner follow him and appear to shove Kelce in an effort to get the cellphone back.

Momentarily squaring up to the offender, Kelce fired back, “Who’s the f***** now?” before heading on his way once more.

At the time of this post, the former Eagles player had yet to comment publicly on the incident, but a source said to be close to his brother and Swift told the Daily Mail, “Taylor and Travis were both really shocked by this considering Jason is one of the nicest guys in the world.”

“It really became clear how much he loves and respects Taylor. Travis means the world to him,” the source added.

Meanwhile, social media users leaned heavily in favor of the response Kelce had during the interaction, with many faulting the heckler for antagonizing the 6’3″ nearly 300 lb athlete in a fashion akin to poking a grizzly bear.

Referencing an incident from February, commentator Mary Katharine Ham had said, “We can go to the tape on the Cam Newton 5-on-1 brawl or this, but these things are the epitome of your mouth writing checks your a** can’t cash. Don’t do it, y’all,” earning responses like, “So true. That fool’s lucky it was only his phone that got grabbed and smashed to the ground.”

As some called out the physical response from Kelce and his own use of the slur on the heckler, campus police had told Page Six that no incident report had been made.
