You can’t be a Philadelphia Eagles fan and not love Jason Kelce.
The colorful veteran center is the heartbeat of the team in so many ways, and it is one reason why he has the fan base’s attention right now. He is 35 and reportedly considering whether he will play another season.
But, while fans await that decision, there may just be a chance to catch Kelce in a way that they have yet to really get to experience. Because, according to a TMZ report, he might just end up on Saturday Night Live.
Per the site, Kelce’s brother, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, is slated to host this weekend’s show, and there is an invitation for Jason to attend and make a cameo on the big stage, too. TMZ says that Travis Kelce plans to have his mom, Donna, his Uncle Don and Aunt Joan and, perhaps, his dad, Ed, in the crowd.
But TMZ said Saturday Night Live producers want Jason Kelce there, not just to sit in the crowd, but to hop up on the stage and take part in front of the camera, too. The site said whether or not that happens could come down to a “last-minute decision” as Jason has been busy at the NFL Combine with his “New Heights” podcast. He and his wife also just recently welcomed a third baby girl, Bennett, into the world.
The Kelce brothers, of course, got national attention with their teams squaring off in Super Bowl LVII last month. Travis’ Chiefs took down Jason’s Eagles, 38-35.
Jason is also expected to make a decision about his playing future in the next several weeks, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported prior to the Super Bowl.
He played collegiately at Cincinnati. He was the Eagles’ sixth-round pick, 191st-overall, in the 2011 draft and has spent his entire career with the team. He helped win Super Bowl LII and is a five-time first-team All-Pro and a six-time Pro Bowl pick.
He has started all 177 games that he has played in with the team.
