Moment Jason Kelce announces retirement from NFL

Jason Kelce has retired after 13 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles.

The 36-year-old made the announcement Monday 4 March, ending a career in which he became not only one of the great centers of his era but a beloved Philly personality and popular podcast host.

“Let’s see how long this lasts,” said Kelce, wearing a sleeveless Eagles T-shirt, before he burst into tears at a news conference attended by his parents and brother Travis.

Kelce needed 45 minutes to recount his career from his childhood in Ohio to his final days with the Eagles through tears, laughter and many thanks before he finally announced he was retiring.
