A source familiar with the negotiations has confirmed to TODAY.com that Kelce, recently retired from the NFL, is stepping into this new role.

ESPN has chosen to remain tight-lipped about the development, but The Athletic was quick to report this exciting addition to the cast.

Kelce’s decision to retire from the NFL marks the end of a remarkable 13-season career, during which he garnered seven Pro Bowl appearances, six All-Pro honors, and played a pivotal role in the Eagles’ Super Bowl triumph in 2018.

Known for his vibrant personality and captivating antics, Kelce endeared himself to football fans nationwide.

His retirement announcement in March was an emotional moment, underscoring the impact he had on the game.

However, Kelce’s journey doesn’t end with retirement from professional football.

With a penchant for entertaining and connecting with audiences, Kelce is no stranger to the broadcast realm.

Alongside his brother, Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce, he hosts the successful “New Heights” podcast, showcasing his versatility beyond the gridiron.

Kelce’s pivot to ESPN’s“Monday Night Countdown” is not surprising given his wife Kylie Kelce’s earlier hints about his potential career shift.

She spoke on NBC’s “TODAY” show, emphasizing Kelce’s ability to excel in various endeavors.

Kelce’s recent appearances at high-profile events like the Chiefs’ playoff game and “WrestleMania 40” showcased his larger-than-life persona, setting the stage for his transition to television.

The news of Kelce’s new role is expected to coincide with ESPN’s upfront presentation to advertisers on May 14, adding further anticipation to the upcoming NFL season.

As Kelce embarks on this new chapter, he will continue his podcasting ventures and his documentary film with Prime Video, ensuring that his dynamic presence resonates far beyond the football field.
