Jason Kelce started crying while talking about whether he should retire from the NFL in his new documentary 'Kelce,' explaining that he's worried about CTE and being around for his kids
In an emotional scene with retired Eagles player Connor Barwin, Kelce addressed "an elephant in the NFL room," referring to the negative impact football can have on a player's body.
Kelce said he's "fearful" of what "the impacts of playing football are going to be long-term" after he retires. "I have two girls, and some people end up getting CTE, some guys live long healthy lives, I have no idea what’s gonna happen," he told Barwin, who retired from the NFL in 2019."The way I've rationalized it to myself is, nobody’s guaranteed tomorrow, nobody’s guaranteed years in advance," Kelce shared.
