The first night of the 2022 NFL Draft felt like Christmas morning for Eagles center Jason Kelce.
During a live stream with Bleacher Report on Thursday night, Kelce found out that the Titans traded receiver A.J. Brown to Philadelphia — and his celebratory reaction is hilarious.
“Howie Roseman is working that Howie Roseman magic, that’s what’s going on,” an excited Kelce said about the Eagles’ general manager.
“He’s swindling. He’s moving up in the draft to get Jordan Davis and now he’s traded to get an unbelievable receiver. I’m like on Christmas right now.”
Kelce shot out of his seat during the live stream, yelling, “This is big!” to which host Adam Lefkoe said, “Kelce, sit down. We’re looking at your belly button.”
In a draft-night shocker, the Titans traded Brown to the Eagles for the No. 18 pick and a third-round pick. The Pro Bowl wideout joins Philadelphia’s young standout receiver in DeVonta Smith — whom the Eagles selected with the tenth-overall pick in last year’s draft.
“This is instantly an upgrade for the offense,” Kelce said about the acquisition of Brown. “I can’t tell you how much this is going to make us better. Howie, he is a man on a mission. He’s making things happen and I’m a big fan. Here we go baby! Here we go!”
Brown caught 63 passes for 869 yards and five touchdowns for Tennessee last season.

Before news broke about the blockbuster Brown deal, the Texans traded their No. 13 pick to the Eagles, and Philadelphia moved up to select the Georgia defensive tackle Jordan Davis. Philadelphia gave up picks No. 15, 124, 162, and 166 to Houston.
Davis made 91 tackles, 12.5 tackles for loss, and seven sacks in his four years at Georgia. He earned unanimous All-America honors last season and earned the Chuck Bednarik Award and Outland Trophy.
