American football player Jason Kelce, from the Philadelphia Eagles, went viral on social media after winning an unusual challenge off the field. The NFL star participated in a beer drinking competition in the shortest time possible and was the winner with an impressive feat: he downed around 900ml in 5.7 seconds.
The challenge took place in Sea Isle City, in the US state of New Jersey, with the aim of raising money for the Eagles Autism Foundation, which develops assistance programs and research into autism. In addition to games, the event was attended by Philadelphia Eagles players and included the sale of merchandise and autographed items.
Also at the scene was Travis Kelce, younger brother of Jason Kelce and player for the Kansas City Chiefs, also in the NFL.
Last year, the event raised 100 thousand dollars (around R$486 thousand), plus an extra 50 thousand dollars (R$243 thousand), donated by Jason Kelce.
