Jason Kelce, the NFL player, is making efforts to return a Chiefs luchador mask to the Texas teenager who lent it to him at the Super Bowl. The mask became a sensation when Jason wore it to the Super Bowl LVIII after-parties in Las Vegas following his brother Travis Kelce’s victory in the big game.

Jason’s Promise

Jason Kelce has reached out to the family of Elijah Smith, an 8th grader from Dallas who originally gave him the mask for a photo op. Jason had pledged to return the mask to Elijah in a social media post and has since contacted Elijah’s parents to arrange its return.

Jason’s Apology

Sarah Smith, Elijah’s mom, revealed that Jason personally reached out to them and plans to speak to Elijah on the phone later this weekend. The Smiths expressed that Jason was thoughtful, kind, and apologetic about the situation and assured him that there was no rush in returning the mask, especially in light of the recent Super Bowl parade shooting tragedy in Kansas City.

Significance of the Mask

Elijah considers the mask a lucky charm and is eager to have it back. Jason acknowledged the significance of the mask in a social media post, expressing his gratitude and apologizing for the delay in returning it.

The Smith family is not upset that Jason got to wear the mask after the Super Bowl, as they find the videos and photos of him in Vegas with the mask “epic.” Once the mask is returned, Elijah’s mom predicts that her son will wear it to Chiefs games next season, unless he decides to frame it as a memento.

Overall, the efforts to return the mask to its rightful owner are bringing this story to a positive conclusion.
