Jason Kelce was a 7-time Pro Bowler (2014, 2016, 2019–2023), 6-time First-team All-Pro (2017–2019, 2021-2023, and Super Bowl champion (LII). Kelce has undoubtedly set the standard for Eagles Football, and serves as the epitome of what leadership looks like on and off the football field.

“I just don’t think you’re in a position after a game like that to really make that decision. I just don’t. There’s too much emotion in the moment. There’s too much going down in the moment to really fully grasp that decision,” Kelce said during the episode of New Heights. “I’m not trying to be dramatic and continue to draw this thing out. I’m really not. It’s just something I think, when it’s time to officially announce what’s happening in the future, it’ll be done in a way that’s definitive and pays respect to a lot of people and individuals that have meant a lot to me, what has led to the career I’ve had. I don’t think that it would be respectful or even accurate to be able to do that right after a game like that.”

“Although last year truly sucked, I wouldn’t trade any of my time with you or my teammates.” “Everything happens for a reason, and I truly enjoyed my time. Sometimes the flowers get knocked back a bit, but the roots are made. And I can’t wait to watch them reblossom again.”

He thanked his family, his father, his mother, his brother, his wife, and plenty of other role models, and influential figures that impacted his life. All these moving part created the future hall of famer, that Kelce is today.
