Jason Kelce is serious about getting a Chiefs luchador mask back to the Texas teenager who let him borrow it at the Super Bowl … because he reached out to the teen’s family.
As many people saw during the SB celebrations … Jason famously wore a Chiefs luchador mask to Super Bowl LVIII after-parties in Las Vegas after his brother Travis Kelce won the big game.
As it turns out … the mask actually belongs to Elijah Smith , an 8th grader from Dallas who gave Jason the mask for a photo op — but who never got it back amid all the post-game chaos. JK himself had recently said he found it on the floor … in any case, it’s the kid’s.
Anyway … Jason had already pledged to get Elijah his mask back in a social media post Friday morning, and we’ve since learned the NFL player has contacted Elijah’s parents.
Sarah Smith , Elijah’s mom, tells TMZ … Jason personally reached out to them Friday while Elijah was at school, and he plans on calling back so he can talk to Elijah on the phone later at some point this weekend.
