Penn State Police are looking into a heated exchange between former NFL player Jason Kelce and a fan.

The fan had been heckling Kelce, who was in State College for ESPN's "College Gameday. " The police noted an incident of property damage nearby. Kelce, who was taking part in ESPN's "College Gameday, " was walking near Beaver Stadium when a fan shouted at him.
