The retired Philadelphia Eagles star, 37, revealed on the Wednesday, Nov. 13 episode ofNew Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce, that he once pooped his pants while in uniform before taking the field for an NFL game.

Jason made the confession while he andTravis, 35, discussed Detroit Lions linebacker James Houston, who recently went viral after fans spotted a stain on his pants — that they believe was poop — during a game on Sunday, Nov. 10.

“This is why I hate white pants,” the former Eagle joked.

Jason said that while he’s “luckily” never been caught on national television with a questionable stain on his pants, he’s had a similar scare in his NFL uniform.

He asked Travis, “You know, like, when you shart and there’s a possibility something came out but you’re not certain?”

Jason then recalled the time after a particularly concerning “shart” when he asked a teammate — whom he declined to name — to check the back of his pants for stains.

“I was like, ‘Hey, can you check the back of my pants because I think I might have just s— myself.’ And he checks, and he says ‘You’re good.’ "

Spoiler alert: Jason was not, in fact, good.
