Jason Kelce has already been back to the Philadelphia Eagles facility in the first week of retirement, telling his brother Travis he is still waiting for the impact of quitting football to hit home.
Jason wept as he announced he was retiring from football at age 36 last week after 13 seasons and a Super Bowl win with the Philadelphia Eagles. Travis was in the audience and also cried as he turned up as a show of support.
Speaking about his first week of a brand new chapter on their New Heights podcast, Jason admitted he was not feeling much of a sense of change
It feels zero different, I’ve actually still gone down the facility to get a couple weightlifting sessions in,’ Kelce said. ‘I’m a creature of habit, I don’t know.
‘I feel no different. I’m assuming once organized team activities start up, training camps and the season starts rolling around, it will really start to hit a little bit more.
But one week in, not much different to be honest with you.’
NFL teams typically return to start the serious build-up for a season in July, meaning the older Kelce brother has plenty of time to come to terms with his decision before the practice sessions begin.
Kelce added he was overwhelmed by how many messages of support he received.
‘Dude, my phone had over 1,000 text messages,’ he said. ‘I think I got back to everybody, but it was so hard getting through it.
The 36-year-old is widely anticipated to make a move into the world of sport analysis and apparently held meetings with several broadcasters around the Super Bowl in Las Vegas, where he cheered Travis and the Kansas City Chiefs to victory.
And he is also being filmed by Amazon Prime, the documentary makers behind is own ‘Kelce’ documentary last year catch his next steps on film.
Directors Don Argott and Sheena Joyce have been filming him since 2021, when he first mooted stepping away from the game, and revealed this week they have kept the cameras rolling since.
‘In a way, we’ve kind of been making the Jason Kelce retirement documentary all along. I don’t know where we’re all going to end up with this [footage] but we’re honored, and really feel privileged to be included in his life like this,’ Joyce told the Philadelphia Inquirer.
She continued: ‘When he called us…all I could do was congratulate him, because I know what a difficult decision it was to come to, and how heartbreaking it is to put a period at the end of that sentence.’
