Jason Kelce has mixed fun and football like no one else for the Philadelphia Eagles
From elite center for the Philadelphia Eagles to center of attention from Sea Isle City to Saturday Night Live, Kelce has reveled in the man-of-the-people touches that put him on the short list of Philadelphia’s most beloved athletes.Heck, Kelce even endeared himself more to the people when a “cheap shot” sparked a melee at a joint practice this week between the Eagles and Indianapolis Colts.
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.
