Jason Kelce has mixed fun and football like no one else for the Philadelphia Eagles. Kelce is a Super Bowl champion and enters the season having started 139 straight games.
“Tensions just got the better of me,” Kelce said. “We try and keep things civil on the field. I let my emotions get the better of me. That certainly doesn’t belong out there on the field. I’m a little bit ashamed that it got to that level.”
But sticking up for a teammate, in the thick of training camp, ahead of his 13th season, is just one reason why Kelce has connected with Eagles fans in such near-mythical ways that few players, say Brian Dawkins or Reggie White, have ever reached. There’s no telling just how many more training camps the 35-year-old Kelce has left -- coach Nick Sirianni once added to Kelce’s lore by shipping a keg of beer to the center’s home to entice him to return in 2022 -- and it appears that neither money nor Super Bowls are necessarily the deciding factor if he wants to keep playing.
