Jason Kelce is the fifth center in NFL history with at least six All-Pro selections. The other four — Jim Otto, Bulldog Turner, Dermotti Dawson, and Jim Ringo — are all in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
With the Eagles officially moving into another era, here’s the Twitter and fan reaction to Kelce’s announcement.There is footage of arguably the greatest day in Kelce’s career: the Eagles’ Super Bowl win.
It includes the iconic ‘Philly Special’ play that allowed Nick Foles to score a touchdown and then cuts to Kelce’s famous parade speech dressed as one of Philadelphia’s Mummers.
Footage of Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie paying tribute to Kelce is also in there. In it he says: ‘This guy Jason represents everything that’s great about the Philadelphia Eagles.
‘He’s an unbelievable leader, teammate, proven winner, fan favorite but also like no other athlete we’ve had or rarely seen in the city: someone who really captures the essence of what it’s like to be a Philadelphian.
‘Everyone at the Eagles not only loves you but to me you are exactly what an athlete should be in Philadelphia.’
