Look away Kelce bros.

A throwback photo of NFL brothers Jason and Travis Kelce recently emerged on social media sending fans into hysterics.

The image showed the baby-faced brothers proudly rocking their Bearcats uniforms from their time together at the University of Cincinnati.

The duo can be seen posing in the black, white and red jerseys synonymous with the college.

The hilarious photo was uploaded to X, formerly Twitter, with the caption: 'One of these guys was a finalist for sexiest man alive and the other is dating Taylor Swift.'

It was in reference to Eagles center Jason being named among the sexiest men alive for 2023 and Chiefs' tight end Travis' blossoming relationship with popstar Swift.

The image quickly went viral as fans reacted to the hilarious comment on the brothers' college photo.

"They look like the cartoon henchmen in a Disney movie," one fan on X wrote.

Referencing the film Step Brothers featuring Will Ferrell, a second wrote: "I’m pretty sure those two both invested heavily in Prestige Worldwide. Gamechanger."

"Peak male form," a third commented.

Another fan replied: "[They] look like an early 90s comedy sketch with Jack black and Ken Marino."

On his nomination for the sexiest man alive, Kelce had fun with it.

“Listen, I don’t know how this all happened,” he told Charissa Thompson on Amazon Prime's Thursday Night Football. “But it’s honestly just another day. My wife tells me all the time I’m the sexiest man in the world. So I’ve been wondering what’s been taking so long for this nomination to happen.” 

All jokes aside, Kelce was pretty pleased with recognition.

"It's been a whirlwind; it's been fun. It's a win for plus-sized bearded men all over."

That said, he still reflected on coming up short. "It's more about self-reflection," he added. "What could I have done to be better? How could I have been sexier? I don't know. I did the best I could."

The elder Kelce brother has been enjoying just as much success on the field as he has off it this season.

His Eagles, who have just had their bye week, currently boast the NFL's best record, improving to 8-1 for the season after a 28-23 win over NFC East rivals the Dallas Cowboys.

Philly's next game will see Jason face off against little brother Travis as the Eagles travel to Kansas City for a matchup with the 7-2 Chiefs.

The game will be a repeat of last season's Super Bowl - or 'Kelce Bowl' as it became known - which Kansas City won 38-35.

Both the Eagles and the Chiefs are among the Super Bowl favourites again this season and could well meet again in Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas next year.
