    On September 16, the Atlanta Falcons traveled up north for an NFC clash with the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football.

    NFL commentators Troy Aikman and Joe Buck are entering their third season with ESPN. The duo worked together at Fox for 20 years before moving on to ESPN in 2022.

    Former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, who retired after the 2023 NFL season, also joined ESPN, but as an analyst on the pregame show "Monday Night Countdown."

    With his former team being the host of Monday's contest, Kelce joined Aikman and Buck in the booth in the third quarter of the game. He stayed with them for the entire second half, making his broadcasting debut in a sense.

    When the camera started recording the three NFL personalities in the booth together, fans noticed that Aikman, the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback, looked bigger than Kelce.

    Aikman stands at 6-foot-4, 220 pounds, while Kelce is listed as 6-foot-3, 295 pounds. Even though the three-time Super Bowl-winning QB is one inch taller, Kelce's weight is much higher, which made many NFL fans curious as to how Aikman could look so much larger.

    "I’m even more impressed with Kelce’s career after seeing his size relative to Aikman," one fan said.

    "Amazing. Jason Kelce standing next to Troy Aikman looks small!"

    "Troy Aikman looks bigger than Kelce."

    "Troy Aikman is bigger than Jason Kelce who is a future HOF Center. Troy Aikman is a stud."

    "Aikman looks bigger than Kelce in that booth bruh lol"

    "Jason Kelce’s size has always amazed me. So small for an (X) NFL lineman. Even Aikman is bigger than he is."

    Kelce played for the Eagles from 2011 to 2023. He helped them win their first Super Bowl ever in the 2017 season and was named a first-team All-Pro six times.

    Aikman spent 12 seasons with the Cowboys from 1989 to 2000. He helped them win three Super Bowls in four years and was named a Pro Bowler six times. He was also elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2006.
