sport news The heartwarming bromance between Jordan Mailata and 'Fat Batman' Jason Kelce ... trends now Aussie NFL sensation Jordan Mailata has a pretty special bromance with his fellow Eagles offensive lineman Jason Kelce: just look at his phone screensaver. While the 25-year-old 203cm, 166kg behemoth was happily indulging the press at the Super Bowl media day on Tuesday, Mailata was asked who his inspiration was. The answer was both sweet and downright hilarious. 'Jason Kelce is the epitome of a leader, I mea,n I've got him as my screensaver as Fat Batman!' Mailata laughed, while proudly displaying his phone's lock screen displaying one of the more bizarre images of this NFL season. Jordan Mailata address the press with his customary wide smile at the media day ahead of next Monday's Super Bowl. The Aussie was in his best, most hilarious form What makes it so strange? Jason Kelce was saluting the crowd will his shirt rolled up - exposing his rather sizeable midriff - while wearing a Batman mask. As the Eagles continued their sizzling start to the season, the standout wide receivers were getting new nicknames. AJ Brown was 'Swole Batman', Devonta Smith was 'Skinny Batman' and Quez Watkins was 'Fast Batman'. Kelce, ever the jokester, wanted in. He wanted to be 'Fat Batman', so he donned a mask after the side's thrashing of the Pittsburgh Steelers. The image that shows how strong the bromance between Jordan Mailata and Jason Kelce (pictured) is: Fat Batman There's a wholesome locker room feel about this Philly side - and no position group embodies it better than the offensive line brotherhood. Not only does Mailata admire Kelce so much he sets him as a screensaver, the big boys up front, tasked with protecting MVP candidate Jalen Hurts, released their own Christmas album. 'A Philly Special Christmas' showcased Mailata's dulcet tones alongside the slightly gruffer voices of Kelce and Pro Bowl guard Lane Johnson.

'That's how much of an inspiration he is to me,' Mailata said after sharing his 'Fat Batman' screensaver. 'It's an honour playing with Jason Kelce, the player and the person he is. You couldn't ask for a better teammate and a leader.' The reveal sent fans into stiches on social media, with some labelling it 'wholesome', while others could not use the crying laughing face emoji enough. 'Get you a friend that has you on their lock screen' Fox Sports NFL wrote on their wholesome social media post. Jordan Mailata has Jason Kelce as the lock screen on his phone. I love these guys. ???????? — Brooklyn (@Brookie425) February 7, 2023 When asked what makes Kelce, the number two ranked centre in the league according to Pro Football Focus grading, so special, Mailata said it was the way he conducts himself and leads by the way for the rest of the offensive line. 'He (Kelce) leads by example, you see that with his play on the field, but more importantly, we all see the way he attacks every week in the classroom,' he told the waiting media in his laid-back Aussie drawl. 'He walks the walk, and talks the talk.' The bromance is strong between Jordan Mailata (left) and Jason Kelce (right) Mailata is no slouch himself. He is still considered by many to still be in top 10 left tackles in the league - probably the most important offensive position outside the quarterback - despite a more up and down season that has also been affected by injury. Despite never playing a competitive snap prior to being drafted at pick 233 in 2018, Mailata has blossomed into an exceptional tackle with outstanding athleticism and increasing nous on the gridiron.

The superstar Aussie was emotional after the game, which secured Philadelphia's Super Bowl spot Despite never playing a snap of American Football prior to being drafted in the seventh round of the 2018 NFL Draft, Aussie star Jordan Mailata has become one of the league's top left tackles No doubt part of that is the strong team culture the Eagles have, which has led them to next Monday's (Aussie time) Super Bowl against the star-studded Chiefs side. 'The brotherhood that was in that locker room, you could feel it the other day,' Mailata told reporters earlier this week after the side won the conference championship. 'I walked in here as a rookie and they embraced me. The O-line embraced me and so did the D-line.' When asked what his favourite Jason Kelce story was, Mailata grinned as he declined to stitch his famously goofy teammate up.
