Unfortunately for Jason Kelce, his 2023 season came to an end in the first round of the playoffs when the All-Pro center and his Philadelphia Eagles teammates suffered a disappointing 32-9 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Kelce certainly hasn’t been spending his time off since then sulking over the loss, however.
The veteran offensive lineman has spent the last few weeks supporting and watching his brother, Travis Kelce, help lead the Kansas City Chiefs to another Super Bowl win.
This season’s Super Bowl took place in Las Vegas, Nevada, and during a recent episode of his “New Heights” podcast with his brother, the older Kelce shared a story about feeling starstruck after meeting comedians Adam Sandler and David Spade in Vegas (via New Heights on Twitter)
Kelce shared how he’s used to people coming up to him on the street or in the store and them acting starstruck, but he never really understood why they felt so nervous meeting him until his recent interaction with Sandler and Spade in Las Vegas.
As for Kelce’s future in the NFL, that seems to be something that is still up in the air.
The Pro Bowl center hasn’t announced anything officially yet, but judging from some of the video clips that have gone around the last few months of him enjoying himself at his brother’s games and afterparties, there seems to be at least a good chance that he’s probably done playing professional football for a living.
If he actually does end up retiring, he will easily be remembered as one of the best centers to ever play in the NFL.
