Jason Daniel Kelce (/ˈkɛlsi/ KEL-see;[1] born November 5, 1987) is a former American professional football center who spent his entire 13-year career with the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League (NFL). Kelce played college football for the Cincinnati Bearcats and was selected by the Eagles in the sixth round of the 2011 NFL draft. He won Super Bowl LII, was a seven-time Pro Bowl selection, and six-time first-team All-Pro selection. Kelce is often regarded as one of the greatest centers in NFL history.[2][3]
Outside of football, Kelce and his brother, Travis, co-host the podcast New Heights, on which they discuss their playing careers and various other topics. In November 2024, Apple announced that New Heights was the 8th most popular podcast show on Apple Podcasts in 2024.
In 2024, Kelce joined the ESPN's Monday Night Countdown pregame crew.
Early life
[edit]Kelce was born and grew up in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, the son of Ed Kelce, a sales representative in the steel business, and Donna, who works in banking. He is the older brother of Travis Kelce, a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs. He attended Cleveland Heights High School, where he played both running back and linebacker and was twice named All-Lake Erie League.[4] At Cleveland Heights, he played baritone saxophone in the symphonic and jazz bands.[5] Kelce also played hockey and lacrosse in high school.[6][7]
College career
[edit]A former walk-on running back, Kelce switched to fullback and then finally to offensive line after redshirting his initial year at the University of Cincinnati (UC),[8] seeing action at center and guard in nine games in 2007 as the Bearcats went 10–3 and defeated Southern Mississippi 31–21 in the PapaJohns.com Bowl.[9][10]
As a sophomore in 2008, he made 13 starts at left guard, as part of an offensive line that also included future NFL linemen Jeff Linkenbach and Trevor Canfield, which helped the UC offense average 27.3 points and 375.3 yards of total offense per game. The Bearcats went 11–3 overall, were Big East Conference champions, and played in the FedEx Orange Bowl, where the Bearcats fell to Virginia Tech 20–7.[11][12] In 2008, his brother, Travis, began playing alongside him at Cincinnati.[13]
In 2009, Kelce earned second-team All-Big East honors after starting 13 games at left guard as the Bearcats went undefeated in the regular season (12–0) and were again Big East Champions, once again earning a BCS Bowl berth, losing to Florida 51–24 in the Allstate Sugar Bowl.[14][15]
He was moved to center for his senior season in 2010 as the Bearcats went 4–8 under new coach Butch Jones.[16][17] He started the final 38 games of his 47-game Bearcats career, 26 at left guard and 12 at center.[4] He was named Honorable Mention All-America and second-team All-Big East.
Professional career
[edit]Despite lacking true NFL size, Kelce was projected a fourth round pick.[18] He ran the fastest 40-yard dash time of all offensive linemen at the 2011 NFL Scouting Combine, with a 4.89-second time.[19] On March 11, 2011, Kelce had an appendectomy after he was diagnosed with appendicitis.[20]

Kelce was selected by the Philadelphia Eagles in the sixth round (191st overall) of the 2011 NFL draft.[22] Kelce was unable to practice or sign a contract until the NFL lockout was lifted on July 25, 2011. He signed a four-year contract on July 27.[23] New offensive line coach Howard Mudd envisioned Kelce as in the mold of Indianapolis Colts five-time Pro Bowl center Jeff Saturday, whom Mudd coached in Indianapolis for 11 seasons.[24] First-round pick and fellow rookie Danny Watkins compared Kelce to a hedgehog due to his spiky hair and facial hair, in addition to his quickness and stoutness.[25] Kelce battled incumbent starter Jamaal Jackson for the center job early in training camp in August.[26] Kelce received all of the first-team reps in the week before the team's third preseason game.[27] He started in the third preseason game against the Cleveland Browns, and allowed a sack and was penalized for holding.[28] Kelce was named the starter for the season on August 29.[29] He became the first rookie in Eagles history to start all 16 games at center.[30]
In 2012, Kelce was named the starting center for the second consecutive year. On September 16, he suffered a partially torn MCL and a torn ACL in a win over the Baltimore Ravens. Kelce would miss the rest of the 2012 season.[31]
In the 2013 season, Kelce started all 16 games. The Eagles reached the playoffs, and set team season records of 442 points and 6,676 yards. He led the way for the NFL's leading rusher, LeSean McCoy, who rushed for 1,607 yards. Kelce was graded by Pro Football Focus (PFF) as the best center in the NFL for the season.[32] He was also honored with the Ed Block Courage Award.[30]
On February 27, 2014, Kelce agreed to a six-year, $37.5 million contract extension, with $13 million guaranteed, according to agent Jason Bernstein.[33] On September 23, Kelce underwent surgery for a sports hernia and missed four games.[4] Despite missing time, he was selected to his first Pro Bowl.[34]
In 2015, Kelce started in all 16 games. He was graded by PFF as the 7th-ranked center in the NFL.[35]
In 2016, Kelce started in all 16 games and was selected to his second Pro Bowl.[36][37]
In 2017, Kelce started in all 16 games and had his best season as a pro. He was selected as a First-team All-Pro and was the highest rated offensive lineman by PFF. He also won Run Blocker of the Year by PFF.[38] He won Super Bowl LII with the Eagles, defeating the New England Patriots 41–33.[39]
During the Eagles' Super Bowl parade on February 8, 2018, Kelce garnered national attention after giving an impassioned speech where he defended his teammates, coaches, and front office and compared Eagles fans to hungry dogs who "for 52 years have been starved of this championship,"[40] while dressed as a mummer.
In 2018, Kelce was given his second First-team All-Pro honor.
On March 2, 2019, Kelce signed a one-year contract extension with the Eagles through the 2021 season.[41] During the 2019 season, Kelce was elected to his third Pro Bowl and received his third straight First-team All-Pro Honor.
In 2020, Kelce started his 100th straight game with the Eagles. The offensive line saw a franchise-record 14 different starting combinations, but Kelce was the lone man to start every game. He was elected to his 4th Pro Bowl, and was one of the eight finalists for the Art Rooney Award in 2020.[42]
On March 5, 2021, Kelce signed a new deal with the Philadelphia Eagles.[43][44] He was placed on the COVID list on January 3, 2022, and activated four days later, allowing him to keep his consecutive starts streak alive.[45][46] He went in for the team's first offensive snap then was benched for the rest of the game. In 2021, Kelce was selected to his fifth Pro Bowl, marking his third straight selection, and was the Eagles finalist for the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award.[47] He was also named a first-team All-Pro by the Associated Press for the fourth time in his career.[48] He was ranked 71st by his fellow players on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2022.[49]
On March 11, 2022, after mulling retirement before the 2022 offseason, Kelce signed a new one-year deal with the Eagles worth $14 million, which made him the highest paid center in the NFL.[50] Kelce earned Pro Bowl and first team All-Pro honors for the 2022 season.[51][52]
Kelce and the Eagles appeared in Super Bowl LVII against the Kansas City Chiefs. Kelce's brother, Travis, played for the Chiefs, making it the first Super Bowl to feature two brothers on opposing teams as players.[53] The Eagles would lose the game 38–35.[54]
After considering retirement, Kelce re-signed with the Eagles on a one-year contract on March 15, 2023.[55] In Week 6, Kelce broke the Eagles record for most consecutive starts that was previously held by Jon Runyan. He received Pro Bowl and First Team All-Pro honors that year as well.[56]
Kelce announced his retirement on March 4, 2024.[57]

Personal life
[edit]Kelce is the elder son of Ed and Donna Kelce and brother of Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.[71] Ed Kelce was a sales representative in the steel business. Donna Kelce has a master's degree, and has worked in banking at Mastercard, and then with banks building housing for the less fortunate using low-income tax credits.[7] Donna Kelce is known for attending both of her sons' games and is often seen wearing a two-sided jersey featuring both of their numbers. She traveled from Tampa to Kansas City to attend both of her sons' Wild Card round games on January 16, 2022.[72]
Kelce met his wife, Kylie McDevitt, on Tinder.[73] They were married on April 14, 2018. They have three daughters, Wyatt, born October 2019, Elliott, born March 2021, and Bennett, born February 2023. Kylie was 38 weeks pregnant with their third child (Bennett) at the time of Super Bowl LVII.[74][75][76][77] In 2023, Kelce was a finalist in People's "Sexiest Man Alive" list.[78] In November 2024, Kylie Kelce announced she was pregnant with the couple's fourth child, a daughter.[79]
During the 2021 offseason, Travis Kelce said their immediate family pronounces their last name /ˈkɛlsi/ KEL-see because that is the way their father pronounces it, although the rest of the paternal side of the family pronounces it /kɛls/ KELSS.[80] Jason elaborated that their father "at some point ... got tired of correcting everyone calling him 'Kell-see.' ... And now I think we're both at the point where we're riding with Ed 'Kell-see.'"[81]
