When Jason Kelce delivered his NFL retirement speech, he made a subtle yet special gesture in honor of his longtime athletic trainer. On March 4, Kelce officially retired from the NFL with an emotional speech reflecting on his 13-year career as a center for the Philadelphia Eagles. Beneath the table, the athlete's ankles appeared to be taped.
O’Pella went on to add that the trainer's recent cancer diagnosis led to him undergoing radiation and chemotherapy treatments, preventing him from wrapping Kelce’s ankles for his final game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. “I expressed my regret of not being the last person to ever tape him, and he offered to have me tape him for his retirement press conference. That’s who he is,” his caption continued. “And I hope these stories can add to an already unbelievable legacy.
