How Jason Kelce chose ESPN for broadcasting future after NFL retirement
Becoming a future member of the ESPN family is a “full circle” moment for newly retired Eagles center Jason Kelce.
Two days after reports emerged the 36-year-old Kelce would be joining the Worldwide Leader as he embarks on a sports media career, the seven-time Pro Bowler elaborated Wednesday on how he reached his decision amid interest from other networks.
“Nothing has been officially inked yet or announced yet but, obviously, there’s been a lot of reports out there about me going to ESPN and I think time will kind of take care of that.
Meanwhile, it’s a tremendous honor to even be considered to potentially work there,” Kelce said on the latest installment of the “New Heights” podcast he co-hosts with his younger brother, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
“We were glued to the TV each and every day, so the fact that I may potentially, probably will be working there is pretty darn cool,” Jason said.
