OId Photo Proves Super Bowl Champions Travis and Jason Kelce Were Bernie Kosar Fans First
By Jackson Thompson
With the Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl LIV victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, Travis Kelce matched his brother Jason Kelce with a Super Bowl ring of his own.
They now join the Mannings and the McCourtys in the pantheon of brothers to each win a Super Bowl. But, long before either one was winning the big game with Nick Foles or Patrick Mahomes, their loyalty belonged to a quarterback in Cleveland.
They both now have Super Bowl rings with the @Eagles & @Chiefs but I love this ‘18 post from proud Papa Ed that shows Jason Kelce & @tkelce ‘s love of football began with @BernieKosarQB pic.twitter.com/IOJkXQPCdq

On Monday, Ed Kelce, the father of Jason and Travis, shared a photo on Facebook of the two sporting Cleveland Browns gear of former Browns quarterback Bernie Kosar.
Since the two Kelce brothers were youngsters, Kosar was their guy.

Jason was born in 1987, and Travis was born in 1989. Ironically, both of those years were the only two seasons Kosar made the Pro Bowl. The Kelce clan never got to see Kosar win a Super Bowl in Cleveland, but Kosar did get to watch Travis win his first ring, as he was in attendance for Sunday's Super Bowl in Miami.
Who would have thought the two Super Bowl champs grew up Browns fans? Maybe one day they'll be able to see Cleveland capture the Lombardi Trophy too. Well, that's a big maybe.
