    This is a man. This is what a man can be. You can be a mountain and beast in battle, violent when needed but also emotionally open and vulnerable. This should be the standard. Hard work, toil, constant trail and it will mean success. What a hero he is. What an inspiration to all. Go well Jason. You make the world a better place.

      @@dannysmith112 showing emotion is always okay, I grew up in the mindframe where I was taught never to cry. The first time the mother of my children saw me cry was in the hospital when I first held our first child and I was absolute water works. I was so happy, so scared, so unsure what to do. Men should be able to cry without stigma

    I live in Michigan and have been a die-hard Lions fan for uncountable years, and started watching Kansas City because of Mahomes, then added Philadelphia because of Jason. These have been my three favorite teams now for several years. It has been a great pleasure to watch Jason play with such passion, professionalism, love of the game. Also a joy to see him off the field with his acts of volunteerism, interactions with his mother, brother and wife and kids. I know this was a VERY difficult decision for you Jason to retire, but your decision is a good one. You determined it's time. You're going out still playing great ball, in fairly good health with perhaps a few bumps yet to mend. Maintaining your health is an important consideration. Your girls are still young and will benefit greatly from your added love and attention. I'm sure Kylie would also like to see more of you. You'll find something to do career wise that will make you happy and give you satisfaction, although different from the feeling you got while playing football. That's okay not everything in life gives us the same highs. Enjoy your retirement-we all look forward to seeing what you do next and hearing more podcasts! Retire his number !!

    As a Chiefs fan, Jason is one of Chiefs Kingdom even though he never played a down. We love that guy and his brotherhood with our Kelce. Gonna miss him on the field, but hopefully, we get to see him a bit more for a short while longer. Congratulations on an unreal career, Jason.

    Class Acts are so rare in today's America that when you actually see one, you think, shit yeah, that's what we're supposed to be like, what we are supposed to do, what we can achieve if we bust our hump every day, no excuses, and work like crazy with our teammates. Thanks Jason. I enjoyed watching you and the Eagles. Blessings in your new endeavors. Cheers from a Sooner in New Zealand. Kia kaha. Stay strong.

    Bless his heart. A man among men. From word one, you can tell just how much this game, team and life has meant to him and what a struggle this decision has been for him.
    Enjoy your retirement and time with your family. 💚

      I also cried from the beginning of his speech.. and I am still crying afterwards. I'm a Eagles fan that loved to see him lay. Now watching them play will be different now. Knowing that one of te greatest centers will not be playing.

    @bman6414 3 месяца назад +1

    As a Giants fan, I have to say it's a relief we won't have to face him anymore. But it's a big loss for the NFL as a whole, because he is an absolute class act. A real model professional that so many can learn from. And I'll sure miss watching him even when he'd be destroying my Giants! Hope he enjoys his retirement and new endeavours with a happy healthy family.

    I’m so grateful to have had the honor of watching Jason Kelce play football. I am born and raised in Kansas City and a definite diehard Chiefs fan!! I will always remember the seasons I became a Kelce Family fan and watching the Kelce Bowl!! Thank you for all you contributed on and off the field and for doing the documentary that allowed us to see your greatness on and off the field and your love for family and football!! I know from experience that it’s hard to retire from a career that you love, but I trust and believe you will do so much more to benefit your family, football, your city, and the world!! ❤

Clearly they had it all figured out and should teach a course. Much love Jason. You will be missed. 😢
