Jason Kelce Moved by Resilience at Super Bowl 2025 Pre-Game Show
Retired NFL star Jason Kelce became emotional during ESPN’s Super Bowl 2025 pre-game show on Sunday, February 9, while discussing the victims of the New Orleans terror attack that occurred on Bourbon Street on New Year’s Day. The attack claimed the lives of 14 people, including Tiger Bech, 28, a former Princeton football player, and left Bech’s best friend, Ryan Quigley, 26, seriously injured. Quigley, a Philadelphia Eagles fan, had initially vowed never to return to New Orleans after the tragedy but decided to attend the Super Bowl in honor of Bech, fulfilling a promise he made to his late friend.
Kelce, 37, who met Quigley prior to the game, praised his resilience, saying, “You wouldn’t even know something happened if he wasn’t in a wheelchair before the Rams game.” Quigley, who is still using crutches, received a personal invitation from the Eagles to attend the championship game at Caesars Superdome, where he was joined by friends and family. Kelce reflected on the duality of tragedy and hope, stating, “On one end, something terrible can happen, and on the other, something so beautiful can happen.”
The victims of the attack, including Bech and Quigley, were honored during the Super Bowl pre-game festivities. The emotional moment highlighted the resilience of survivors and the community’s efforts to heal from the devastating event.
