Former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce has been making his presence felt in the Eagles building since his retirement in March. According to his former teammate, Jake Elliott, Kelce has been in the building almost every day, leaving behind a legacy of leadership that continues to influence the team.
Elliott expressed his admiration for Kelce and fellow teammate Fletcher Cox, acknowledging the challenge of replacing players of their caliber. He highlighted the impact Kelce and Cox have had on the team, noting that their leadership roles have been passed on to other players in the locker room.
While there have been speculations about Kelce potentially coming out of retirement, Elliott deferred to Kelce on that matter. The two players, who were teammates from 2017 to 2022, share a close bond both on and off the field.
Kelce recently discussed the 'next phase' of his career on his podcast, hinting at a potential role with ESPN. Reports suggest that Kelce has signed on as an on-air talent for ESPN's Monday Night Countdown, alongside other notable analysts.
Reflecting on his retirement decision, Kelce expressed his love for football and the unique feeling of freedom he experienced on the field. He attended a Broadcasting and Media Workshop in April 2023, along with other football players, to prepare for a potential career in sports broadcasting.
As Kelce transitions into this new chapter of his life, he continues to be a significant presence within the Eagles organization, leaving a lasting impact on his former teammates and the football community at large.
