Jason Kelce Rules Out NFL Comeback

Jason Kelce, the former Philadelphia Eagles center who retired in March after 13 seasons, has officially ruled out a comeback to the NFL, emphasizing he has lost too much weight to play at a viable level. Kelce has slimmed down from his playing weight of 295 pounds to 275, with a target of 260, stating, 'They’re not going to call me to come back and play center at 260 pounds.' He remains actively involved with the Eagles, spending time at their training facility and supporting his successor, Cam Jurgens, who he believes will excel this season. Kelce is set to join ESPN's Monday Night Football crew and continues to host his 'New Heights' podcast alongside his brother, Travis Kelce. Despite the speculation surrounding his potential return, Kelce has made it clear that he is excited about his new ventures and has no plans to return to football. His retirement marks the end of a celebrated career that included multiple Pro Bowl selections and a key role in the Eagles' Super Bowl LII victory.
