Jason Kelce Announces Retirement In Tearful Press Conference
Jason Kelce held a press conference earlier today. The brother to Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift’s current boyfriend, broke down in tears several times as he made his announcement. The National Football League is now a part of his past.
The Big Announcement
Jason Kelce announced to the world he would be retiring from the NFL. The Philadelphia Eagles superstar will not be returning to play for the Eagles or any other football team.

Jason Kelce Gets Emotional
Jason Kelce was very emotional as he made the announcement he would be retiring from the NFL. He had tears streaming down his face. Kelce stopped several times to take breaks in attempts to regain his composure.
Jason Kelce was surrounded by his friends and family. His brother, Travis Kelce, was with him. Travis Kelce’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift, was not reported to have been at the press conference. She is busy on tour at the moment. Travis Kelce seemed almost as emotional during his brother’s announcement as the retiring player was.
Kelce and the NFL
Jason Kelce has had a very promising career with the NFL. He was drafted in the sixth round of the NFL draft in 2011 by the Philadelphia Eagles. His rookie season, he played in every game. In 2014, only three years later, he was chosen to play in his first Pro Bowl.
It was in 2018 when Jason Kelce won his Super Bowl ring. The Philadelphia Eagles defeated Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in that Super Bowl. In addition to winning a Super Bowl, Kelce competed in a total of seven Pro Bowls.
The Future Of Jason Kelce
Jason Kelce did not go into details as to what his future may hold. Like many other former NFL stars, Kelce may make the choice to go into broadcasting. Seeing he spent time on various networks, on his days off from the Eagles, as a broadcaster, broadcasting just might be the next step for Kelce. It is possible he may not be out of football completely.
A career in the broadcasting booth is a logical choice for Jason Kelce. He and his brother, Travis Kelce, have a podcast together. The podcast is titled New Heights. It was not until Travis Kelce started dating Taylor Swift that New Heights became a popular podcast.
