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.
Love this.
Absolutely!
So beautifully put!
Stop acting as if you know him personally. Get a life
I am glad jason and cox retired as eagle
Jason not even ONCE apologized for crying. That’s because you never have to be sorry for expressing emotion. A lot of us men can learn so much from this guy. An absolute legend.
First thing I noticed and think that sends a great message.
I love that both Kelce men are NOT afraid to show their emotions it takes a REAL MAN to cry!!
Real men cry❤
Well it always depends on what you‘re crying about. This reason definitely gets a pass! Great role model
@@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
32 teams, 184 million fans. Regardless of team or location, we are all crying alongside Jason Kelce. It’s a rare and beautiful thing to see a nation fully supporting a player. We will continue to support you in your retirement, Jason.❤️
I’ve never read through so many comments & seen so much positivity. Speaks volumes of him ❤
What are we crying about? He is pathetic.
@@SanFrancisco94118 bro,I'm a die hard 9er fan, in. San Francisco now, and. You're the epitome of PATHETIC, PERIOD...END OF STORY!! ... unbelievable...
@SanFrancisco94118 You must have no respect for your follow, man. He may not be a player and man you like. But he is to many others. If you did not like him.. then why did you watch it. Or did you watch it to express your hatred. How would you feel if people did this to you.. or someone you admire. All you did was show that you a negative person that has no compassion.
We are for sure. This brought tears to me and my families eyes. So emotional to watch this. Not an Eagles fan, but always have had the utmost respect for Jason. Met him 10 years ago after a game and he was the most humble athlete I’ve ever met.
33 years old, crying like a Baby, for a man who plays on a team I never cheered for. Great speech by a great human being. This dude is only going up from here!
Such a touching tribute to him! Seems like he really didn't want to quit.
What does your age have to do with anything? 🤔
@ryanvickery5491. Thank you for saying that! 💚💚
Jason is 36 yrs
@@patriciaschultz8172Right, @ryanvickery5491was referring to himself as being 33.
Jason Kelce is just built different!
He gets it!
He’s an actual role model.
Not like his brother total class
@@wheelman1232lol. That “kids” game was his life.
@wheelman1232 that "kids game" made him and his daughters never have to worry about money in their lives. Probably better than your big boy job. 🤷♂️😂
“That’s all I’ve got” like Jason Kelce didn’t just bring us to our knees with tears in our eyes by showing how strong it is to show vulnerability. Team Kelce forever.
🙌🏻👏🏻🙌🏻👏🏻🙌🏻👏🏻
💯🦅💚
On the plane ride back to Philly yesterday some dude that bought the wifi was playing this live. 6 random grown men cried watching this man.
Can you believe the arms on this man? He his a giant in heart and class!
Jason Kelce is the cousin at the party you want to rub shoulders with, the brother you want to laugh with, the friend you want to hang with and the team mate you go to war with. Absolute champion. Absolute legend 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
Yesssss🎉🎉🎉🎉
Well said!
I am from Australia, a woman and I don’t understand the NFL AT ALL. But I know one thing and that is Jason Kelce is a man who exemplifies honor and always leads by example. Enjoy your retirement, you have earned it.
From Australia, I want to say, well done Mumma Kelsey, what a beautiful young man you have raised. Be proud.
Absolutely! I'm the same as you,in Sydney. He is a great man.
OMG - whah, whah, whah. What a jerk. Who cares?
Tf are u doing on this video then?😂😂😂
@@wheelman1232You obviously never played team sports.
I watched this with both of my sons. I cried and they cried. This is the epitome of what a man could be and should be. Congratulations Mr Kelce!!!!
Yes a man can show his emotions and that’s my kind of guy.
From a die hard Niners fan that lives outside of Philadelphia he was a great one congratulations on your retirement and I definitely won't miss you 😂 but seriously he was a awesome player!
Y
That is a great idea. I am going to do the same and watch with my kids tonight. Very emotional but it’s a great lesson of how passionate you should be in this sport
Well said. The NFL players should be forwarded this to watch and listen too.
Jason,
That was a beautifully written love letter to your parents, wife, brother, the entire Philadelphia Eagles organization & the City of Philadelphia for your epic 13 year NFL career. Thank you, Jason, for going out in style & genuineness that proves why you are the best; wearing your big heart on your broad shoulders. You ARE going to be a VERY hard act to follow for The Philadelphia Eagles’ future. I hope you that find another career path that brings you as much joy & happiness as playing football did. You will succeed in your next steps, that we can all be sure of.
You deserve everything that you’ve achieved & worked so hard.
You’re too talented & knowledgeable about the game; so I know we’ll be seeing you again in some capacity soon!
Thank you for being a role model & class act 24/7!
Well said!
I’m not an Eagles fan, but I am a Jason Kelce fan. Thanks for 13 years in the NFL; one of the greatest centers there has been. Enjoy your retirement and your beautiful family.
Absolutely love a man who recognizes the impact of a good woman in his life !
@@wheelman1232 some ppl commit suicide after retirement regardless of the profession
@@CaptainHowdy3 Oh really? Isnt it good to retire and spend time with family. Who wants to kill themselves for a job
@@wheelman1232 Many kids play sports because of who ? Adults they see playing kids games . Think of that ? To be a adult playing a so called kids games ? Johnny Unitas was my who . Not my dad who was a chain smoker, who brought me to each game , but that blue jersey , and my 1st game was in the same blue jersey. I just could not get number #19 from another young kid. When you see a adult playing and know it's there job, you know what you want to do. But now i'm healthy 67 yrs old in another sport . When you love something and its your whole life , then to retire in something you love , yes , its a loss, of self .I played at a high level, still love the game , retired from a job 35yrs, did I love it ? HELL NO . So glad we are all different with different paths .
Holy shit, has there been a better man than this? I think that I cried more than he did. As an old 70's lineman, no one has ever laid it down like Jason did. He's why football is still the greatest sport on the planet
Indeed. This man loves football and all that comes with it. You have to love the sport to, to understand.
.
I have never watched an entire NFL retirement speech, until today. Jason Kelce we love you. Can't wait for you HOF speech. You are my favorite football player.
I just love this dude.
He & his bro are doing so much to break down masculine fragility & what being a ‘man’ should look like.
They constantly show that it’s ok for men to have varied emotions. And to be comfortable showing them.
If you’re sad, cry.
As he wept, all Philadelphia Eagles fans wept with him. It's not easy when you know it's time. He earned this moment. Good luck in your future and have fun watching your daughters grow
People across the world weep with him. I don't really understand NFL,am from NZ Z. But I love this man and his family. It hurt my heart to hear his tears.
I was, at least for a moment an Eagles fan. Much love from KC.
I'm a cowboys fan and I wept with him. He's truly an inspiration
@@tjlpurdyas an eagles fan, I still love you
That is what a real REAL MAN looks like!!! ❤
Good guys like him are rare these days. Sad how sick our country has become. This is what America needs more of! Real men with heart ❤️
1000%
Amen 🙏 🙌🏼
I might hate the Eagles but there’s no way I could hate this man. Great player and a great man 🐐
You retired never having anything to be shameful of, you taught young men to be accountable and to strive for greatness! You lead the Eagles with your spirit and unwavering confidence! You are loved Good Sir, something we all wish for!
Really beautifully said Jon
Jason needs to write a “Dear Football” like how Kobe wrote Dear Basketball. Absolute legend.
F**king LEGEND. He is what football and family are truly about: loyalty, love, honor, commitment, brotherhood, compassion, teamwork, and selflessness. Godspeed to you in the next chapter of your life sir - #62 forever
Shout out to Jason from the Chiefs Kingdom! You’re a fine man and a legend. The Eagles and their fans were extremely lucky to have you as a member of their team and community. I know you’ll continue to do great things. Enjoy your retirement! ✊🏻
There has never been a finer example of what a man and an athlete looks like.
Never in my lifetime has an athlete represented the people, the personality, the character, and the heart of my city, probably any city, like Jason Kelce. This speech was everything and as much I love my Birds and no matter how much I'll enjoy watching them on Sunday afternoon, I don't know if it will ever be quite as fun again without him.
This man is a national goddamned treasure. We need to protect him at all costs!!
This man made millions of dollars playing a game as a profession, yet as I watch this I can’t help but empathize with him. Truly emotional, truly inspiring. I won’t lie, I shed a tear. Jason Kelce is so relatable and authentic, and I wish him the best of luck as he transitions into the next phase of his professional life.
It’s insane to think about, he started at 10-12 years old and ran with it for 30+ years! The emotion is raw and pure, completely! This game that children, young men, and grown men play means so much! It’s such a beautiful game! Congratulations to this legend, forever 62 💚 cheers brother 🍻
This dude gave it his all and left nothing out there left. He lived breathed and ate football.
What an amazing speech. Philly fan or not, we are all crying with you Jason Kelce. You are a true champion and wonderful man. Thank you for sharing your talent with the world, 13 wonderful years! You will never be forgotten!
I’m telling you right now, no one skipped through that first minute and a half. A big man with an even bigger heart and more humble than you’d expect anyone with his career to be. A beautiful human.
What a legend. Young men take note, this is a true man!
Jason Kelce was an underestimated player his rookie year. Now look at him the best center in NFL history, a superbowl champion, 7x pro-bowler, and so many other accomplishments. HUNGRY DOGS RUN FASTER AND DONT UNDERESTIMATE THE UNDERDOGS!!! FLY EAGLES FLY🦅🦅🦅💚💚💚we love you Jason and you will be missed! Good luck in retirement 🦅💚🤍
It’s obvious that he wrote this. Thought long and hard about it. It’s perfect in every way. A GIANT of a man. A great human being and an incredible athlete. He will be missed so much. I just hope to see him in the booth or commenting on the weekends.
Jason Kelce is the absolute BEST! His is a great American story!!
Thanks for a great and truly inspiring career!
Darn it I cried 8 seconds in. Great guy can’t wait to see what he does with the rest of his life!
WOW !!! Jason Kelce is a total package of a man. I really felt for him as I watched . I also gave thanks to our dear Heavenly Father who created him. A mountain of a man with exceptional abilities who FEELS his emotions , loves his wife and three daughters ; who loves his mom. dad and brother deserves ALL the accolades he is receiving !!!
When I saw the notification on ESPN, I choked up, I couldn't watch it right away... I'm just now finishing the whole thing and the tears couldn't fall quicker
I cried so much I chould not see the screen. I'm a Eagles fan. Watching them play now will be so different.
Im an eagles fan. It took me 9 days to watch it. I'm crying
I knew it was coming. Didn't matter
If Jason Kelce was not known as a great person, he is now. What a humbling and beautiful speech. I hope that he will still be involved in the Christmas album.
Jason Kelce is a class act that will never be forgotten by us Eagles fans. He owes us nothing, we owe him everything. What an honor to be able to watch you play for 13 seasons and give the best goddamn Super Bowl speech in history. You are a legend my man. Enjoy your retirement with your beautiful family. I’m sure we will see you around the Linc. And @City of Philadelphia, start erecting that statue! This man deserves it more than anyone!
This is perfect. Absolutely perfect. You go, big man. Wear your emotions on your sleeve. You get nothing but respect for this. Probably the hardest thing you've ever had to do, and you did it being yourself. Not putting on a brave face, but putting you on your face. You've gained a fan here.
You probably won't find another video on RUclips that doesn't have one negative comment attached to it
That's how special J Kelce is. He inspired me to be a better man before this speech and even that much more so after. What a legend. I, and the city of Philadelphia, will miss you
The guy is poetic. Beautiful words and speech
Standing 4ft 11inches and I00 pounds I joined the Navy on Mar 3rd 1988. With Only a high school diploma and a strong sense of patriotism I outperformed, took more risk, volunteered for more projects, went places and did things that scared others. And challenged male Marines in the gym and on the shooting range. At least you got to retire on your own terms, imagine your President( Obama) at the time telling every service member with 20 years or more that they have to retire. My goal was 30 years and another higher rank. With time you will move on and the memories will also fade in the back ground. But this time will always be special. Enjoy the rest of your life and find something you love just as much or close to it.
Not an Eagles fan, but this speech made the eyes water. How can you not sympathize with this man. He truly is a class act. The fans and entire organization will have a huge void to fill. Met him after a football game years ago and he’s very humble. Prayers to you man. God bless on the next chapter of your life
I'm not an Eagles fan, but I love Jason Kelce! Best of luck to you sir!
All of us NFL fans are shedding tears with you, Jason. Go be an awesome Daddy to your children, love your wife, your family, and your life. You’re so very loved. Thank you for being the big emotional guy you are. May God bless Mr. Kelce!
55 years old, not even an Eagles fan, and this had me sobbing too. Admire the hell out of his hard work, which brought him success.
This was just a rare, beautiful moment! I was crying ! Jason Kelce is what any parent would want their son to be! His entire career was a life lesson to many!! Especially his Brother Travis. Mr. Kelce you have more than earned your retirement! Go enjoy your family ! The Hall of Fame is your next destination! ❤️🙏🏽
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 !!
I love that he isn’t afraid to show his emotions, that he feels deeply and is such a good man of character. God bless you on your journey to the next opportunity. You’ll be the greatest at whatever you do. ❤
Not me sitting here about cry for a man I never met, for a team I am not a fan of, for a city I never lived in. From this Ravens fan, thank you for being the best center this league has seen to date. And being probably the best man to ever be in those league.
Congrats on retirement but hello to the next phase in life for a man of your caliber. Fly Eagles Fly 🦅
If u don't cry watching this, you ain't human. Love you Jason, thank you!!
There is never a more fulfilling experience as a parent, as when you realize your son has become a better man than you! I can only imagine how proud your parents are of the man that you have become.
I heard you mention that you will never be the best at anything else ever again! I find that hard to believe Mr. Kelce. Enjoy the blessings you so deserve!
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. 💚
You truly see a man giving up something he loves so much. Thank you Jason, for your ever lasting strength and commitment to the game - from a Chiefs fan!!!! You did the game PROUD. ❤
Man you got all of us crying. Tears of joy for one of the greatest players ever. God Bless You ❤
I cried the entire time watching this but I'm happy to say I was able to see this man play. I'll miss you Kelce
That is a man who LOVES football. If we all could be blessed to love what we do for work!
Jason Kelce is a phenomenal athlete, but an even better person! He is an incredible example of a Father, Husband, Brother, Son, and Friend. Congratulations on tremendious career! 💌
Why am I crying?!?! 😆 damn! Philadelphia will always love you Jason Kelce!!!!
As a giants fan, Jason was a huge pain in the ass but I have nothing but respect for what he accomplished. Enjoy retirement boss you deserve it 👏
KC fan here. But, also a fan of both Kelce brothers. Their parents did a great job!!! They put their kids first and raised their sons the right way!!
You will be missed, Jason!!! I’m glad we can watch you on New Heights!
I’ve literally cried from the first few words til the end…for a man I personally have never meet. Good job Jason Kelce!
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.
Everything you need to know about Jason’s character was on full display in the final seconds of this video. Class act all the way!
That was the best speech/statement, real sports moment I've ever seen! Incredible!!
This is a man. Built a great career, but more importantly, a great family. He is an example for all of us.
Thank you Jason, for being SO Authentic and humble. That was a heartfelt tribute and beautiful speech. You are SO loved and will be missed. Signed, a Chiefs fan ❤️
True eagles legend here thank you Jason for the 13 season with the eagles you will be miss and us fans we love you my brother
I'm always gonna love the big Ole bear. Seeing him being emotional and open is inspiring for all the men out there. It's okay to be emotional especially when you love something as much as he does. Thank you Jason for making me a proud eagles fan and fly high forever
Retire his number can’t be another
Not even an Eagles fan but this is a gut punch. Great player and better man. Congratulations Jason
As an eagles fan this just hits totally different, I’m gonna miss this dude he gave it his all and I’m happy he has a ring with us our only ring.
Will always love his Super Bowl speech. The GREATEST championship speech EVER!!!
I must watch it at least 4 times a year.
Class act, wow, I cried through the entire speech. As a fan of another team, I'm so thankful to hear you give one of the BEST retirement speeches I've ever heard Jason. Thank you!!!! Enjoy your retirement, you the Man!!!!
Jason Kelce is and will always be the man
I'm not an eagles fan but wow i love this guy and what he represents. He is a heart felt player that deserves his accolades. I love that he isn't afraid to show his emotion. He's absolutely in love with his career choice and excelled at it. Congrats Jason on all you did and thanks for showing the next generation how to behave and act with class.
I’m forever grateful for the memories when I was able to see you play in person. Thank you Jason #62 🦅💚
LEGEND. Thanks for the ring. We'll miss you brother.
Wow… I can’t imagine loving a career so much that you are this emotional… he is lucky he found a grind in life… a passion… a calling… enjoy your next chapter even more.
I love that he isn’t afraid to show his emotions, that he feels deeply and is such a good man of character. God bless you on your journey to the next opportunity. You’ll be the greatest at whatever you do.
I have watched this multiple times, and it still chokes me up. The way this man played the game is top tier no question. But the example of a Man and how they treat people and carry themselves in all aspect of life is on another level. FLY EAGLES FLY
Jason, you nailed it! That was a world class exit for a world class athlete. I don’t know how you did it but I’m so glad you did. God Bless you and your family.
Made me get emotional with you man, so hard to walk away from something you love and worked so hard to achieve at being one of the greatest players in the NFL.
I absolutely love this man. Thank you Jason. You are one of my heroes and I strive to be half the man, father, brother, son, husband, and general human you are.
This a one of the better role models USA has to offer. This is good man and I hope he remains in our Eyesite. See ya around Kansas City bro.
Powerful, honest and sincere. Blessings to you and your family!
Still crying after watching this fir the third time. A true inspiration! Best if luck with your next chapter, I'm sure it will be spectacular! Godbless you and your family ❤
Well done hof career. Heck of a leader and father. Hard to believe he was a walk on.
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.
Now I'm over here in tears. He's such a sweetheart. This hurts. God please bless this young man.🤍🤍🤍😓. An awesome and dedicated player. We'll never ever forget him.🙏
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!! ❤
Absolutely LOVE this. Here is this big, strong warrior showing raw emotion. I'm not now nor never have been an Eagles fan. But, this guy is a CLASS ACT. I love his never give up, never surrender attitude. I have no doubt it will be missed in the locker room. Best of luck, Jason. Enjoy your retirement!
A man of integrity, loyalty and a true class act. You will definitely be missed by us all. The best to ever do it at the Center position, Job Well Done. Blessings to you on your next journey, enjoy your family and your retirement. Canton will welcome you with open arms, 1st ballot.
This man is loved by so many. Not an Eagles fan, but have loved watching him when my team played him. I celebrate him as a great person, on and off the field. His parents deserve so much credit. Clearly they had it all figured out and should teach a course. Much love Jason. You will be missed. 😢
Congratulations, man. I love your emotions and that you own them. You are going to continue to great things and so many people support you.
Congratulations Jason- beautiful and moving speech. Wishing you a joy filled next chapter.
