One of the greatest offensive linemen to ever play in the NFL has officially called it a career.
The Philadelphia Eagles held a press conference on Monday where longtime center Jason Kelce shared his intent to retire from the league after 13 seasons playing for the franchise.
The sixth-round pick out of Cincinnati made seven Pro Bowls and won a Super Bowl with the Eagles in 2018. He’s a six-time first-team All-Pro player in his career.
Kelce turned into a quick fan favorite with the Eagles and has built a strong following off the field along with his brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, on their podcast New Heights. Amazon released a documentary about the longtime Eagles player in 2023.
Seven-time Pro-Bowl selection and Philadelphia sports icon Jason Kelce announced he is retiring from the NFL.

The Jason Kelce story is just fantastic. Just grinded away early in his career, kept working at his craft and was a 1st team All Pro in 6 of his last 7 seasons. Outstanding leader of men and will be a Hall of Famer. https://t.co/uQorR90DiY

Kelce goes out at the top of his position even after 13 seasons. One of the best players that I’ve watched in my time. https://t.co/f0Nc9PajPF

Will forever be remembered as one of the greatest Philadelphia athletes. Jason Kelce gave us everything he had on and off the field. Excited for him to crush it in his post-playing career on the media side of things
He should never pay for a beer in Philadelphia ever again https://t.co/1GLkVjgYk0
