NFL world reacts to the news that Jason Kelce will retire after 13 seasons

Jason Kelce is reportedly set to retire after 13 NFL seasons.

A sixth-round draft pick out of the University of Cincinnati in 2011, Kelce started and played in 193 games over his tenure.

Kelce made his first Pro Bowl in 2014 and has been named to the Associated Press All-Pro team in six of the past seven seasons.

Kelce’s forthcoming announcement could be the first of several big moves and changes for the Eagles.

With Philadelphia’s offseason officially underway, here is the national reaction to the news that Kelce is hanging it up.
