Eagles Fans Bought Jason Kelce The Perfect Gift After He Announced His Retirement On Monday (VIDEO)
Eagles fans brought a very fitting gift for Jason Kelce as the center showed up to a press conference to announce his retirement from the NFL.
Kelce is calling it quits after a career during which he won a Super Bowl with the Eagles while being named to seven Pro Bowls and six All-Pro first teams.
The 36-year-old found it very difficult to hold the tears back as he revealed that the 2023 season was his last while sitting in front of reporters.
Fans would gather outside of the Eagles’ Nocacare Complex, with a group of them bringing Jason a keg of Miller Lite as a parting gift. ABC6’s John Paul got some footage of the fans trying to get the center to accept his gift, but he was too emotional to stop, though he did show his appreciation as he drove past.
Jason is, of course, a legend in Philadelphia, having spent all of his 13 NFL seasons with the Eagles. His retirement has undoubtedly cast a wave of sadness over the city, but he will be celebrated there for a long time after what has been a metier deserving of the Hall of Fame.
It will be interesting to see what the former Philly superstar does next as he’s reported to have met with multiple networks at the Pro Bowl.
