Jason Kelce Got Trolled as ‘Podcaster’ Following Retirement Reports

Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce is reportedly retiring from football. Sources indicated that Kelce announced his retirement to teammates after the Eagles lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a wildcard playoff game.

Although Kelce declined media interviews, Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni expressed his admiration for the player. “I love him,” Nick Sirianni said, per ESPN. “He’s special and I love him. He’s one of the most special guys I’ve been around. He’s always got a place here.”

Despite certain outlets playfully referring to him as a “popular podcast host,” Kelce is regarded as one of the NFL’s best centers, and his retirement marks the end of a remarkable career.

Real question: what makes Jason Kelce at “hall of famer”? What did he do in the field that says yes he’s in? Sure he played 13 years but is that really hall of fame worthy?

Or is he getting because the media loves his podcasts, commercials, wild outfits, he’s a funny guy etc? pic.twitter.com/0vSRMHDELy
