Jason Kelce has announced his retirement from football in an emotional press conference.
The Philadelphia Eagles legend burst into tears before he even started speaking and then finally ended months of speculation as he ended his career on Monday after 13 years in the NFL.
Kelce announced the decision with his brother Travis, wife Kylie and parents Ed and Donna in attendance at the Eagles’ team facility. Footage showed Travis, who wore sunglasses throughout, crying as he watched on.
He 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 to his biggest influences before he finally announced he was retiring.
‘I have been the underdog my entire career,’ he said. ‘And I mean this when I say it, I still wish I was.’
Here is the video of Jason talking about fathers:
