One of the most beloved Philadelphia Eagles in franchise history is calling it a career.
A sixth-round draft selection in 2011, Kelce, 36, played his entire 13-year career with the Eagles. He was selected to seven Pro Bowls in 13 seasons and was named first-team All-Pro for the sixth time in 2023 -- proof that he played at an elite level up to his final snap.
He helped redefine his position, illustrating the benefits of lighter, quicker centers who can get out in space. "Any of you know who the biggest underdog is? It's y'all, Philadelphia. For 52 years, y'all have been waiting for this. You want to talk about an underdog? You want to talk about a hungry dog? For 52 years you've been starved of this championship," he said to the crowd.
And Kelce is no stranger to the music scene, too. He's been featured in two Christmas albums with other Eagles players and once traded in his cleats for a saxophone to play with the Philadelphia Orchestra.Kelce performs with orchestra, training camp begins. Jeannette Reyes reports during Action News Mornings on July 25, 2018.
"Every logical thing is telling me I should stop playing football," Kelce revealed in an Amazon documentary titled 'Kelce." The film chronicles Kelce's love for family and football all while being faced with the reality that his football days could be running out.
