Jason Kelce Retires

Jason Kelce, after 13 seasons in the NFL, all with the Eagles, has announced his retirement, marking the end of an era in Philadelphia. Kelce was a walk-on at the University of Cincinnati and was drafted by the Eagles in the Sixth Round in 2011. He won the starting job as a rookie, but a torn ACL held him to only two games in 2012.  However, he came back stronger and paved the way for LeSean McCoy’s league-leading 1,607 yards. Kelce continued to improve his skill set and went to his first Pro Bowl in 2014. From 2016 until 2023, he was perennially named to a post-season honor, including six Pro Bowls (giving him seven in total) and six First Team All-Pros.  He also set a franchise record of starting 156 consecutive games. Kelce’s public profile has risen in recent seasons, partially due to his play and a lot from his relationship with his younger brother, Travis Kelce, who is the Tight End for the Kansas City Chiefs and boyfriend of megastar Taylor Swift.  Kelce is the only Center in the last 50 years chosen for six First Team All-Pros with a Super Bowl Ring.   He is Hall of Fame eligible in 2029, and he has an excellent chance to be the next Center inducted into the PFHOF. Notably, in our Pre-2023 Active Hall of Fame Ranking, Kelce was at #12. Here at Notinhalloffame.com, we would like to wish Jason Kelce the best in his post-playing career.
