Trust me, it’ll happen.’”-team All-Pro in each of his last three seasons, becoming the first NFL player since Dolphins Hall of Fame center Dwight Stephenson from 1985 through 1987 to retire after earning All-Pro honors in each of his last three seasons.
This past season, he became the Eagles’ oldest All-Pro since 37-year-old center Vic Lindskog in 1951. Kelce is one of only seven players to spend at least 13 years with the Eagles. Of the six others, only four spent their entire career with the Eagles – Vic Sears, Bucko Kilroy, Chuck Bednarik and – so far – Graham.
“I’ll always want to be involved in the game,” he said. “I think it’s a hard thing to step away from completely, I’m imagining. There’s a lot of things I want to learn about the game still.
