Claude Giroux was a stud with the Philadelphia Flyers and as it turns out, he was a big supporter of the Philadelphia Eagles and their star former center, Jason Kelce.

Kelce has a podcast called "New Heights" with his infamous brother, Travis Kelce. The two are always talking about the latest and biggest news from around the NFL. Moreover, they also get to talk about their personal lives which are obviously very hectic right now. Jason Kelce is a bonafide superstar at this point. Meanwhile, Travis is dating none other than Taylor Swift.

During the latest episode of this podcast, Jason Kelce was asked who in the NHL could potentially be in the NFL. There was one name that Travis brought up immediately and that is none other than Giroux. In fact, the answer here was actually quite fascinating as they discussed potential positions for Giroux.

As Jason revealed, Giroux used to come into the Eagles locker room and challenge all of the players to an arm wrestle. It is a pretty hilarious story when you think about it. Jason noted that it shows that Giroux has the toughness and mentality to be in the NFL. Although the physicality and strength may be another thing.

Having said all of that, it is cool to see these two worlds colliding like this. NHL players have been known to isolate themselves compared to athletes in other professions. However, Giroux is clearly someone who is just completely fascinated by competitors of all kinds.
