Jason Kelce Backs Tom Brady in Patriots Deflategate Scandal: 'He Outsmarted People'

On Friday, Jason Kelce revealed that he took Tom Brady's side during the Deflategate scandal involving the New England Patriots in 2014.

The Philadelphia Eagles legend explained the reasoning behind his stance during the latest edition of the New Heights podcast.

"I don't even think Tom should have gotten in trouble for deflating footballs," Kelce said (18:00 mark) "I'm pro deflating footballs. I'll say it. I'll say it, I am pro deflating footballs. He outsmarted people. Why the f--k does it matter how much air is in that motherf--ker?"

The six-time All-Pro center took issue with the rule itself, wondering why it was implemented in the first place.
