Breaking News: Jason Kelce’s stellar work recognized after retiring from NFL: Eagles icon is a true man of the people….see more

While many expected the star center to fade quietly from the spotlight, Kelce has only expanded his influence – transitioning smoothly into a prominent role as an ESPN co-host and commentator, while remaining deeply connected to the Eagles organization and his community.

Kelce’s commitment to football and Philadelphia runs deep. Beyond his new media career, he recently played a critical role behind the scenes by helping preserve one of the NFL’s signature plays – the “tush push” – during a crucial owners meeting in Minnesota. This move highlighted Kelce’s continued influence on the sport even after hanging up his cleats.

But it is his work off the field that has captured significant attention. Jason and his wife, Kylie Kelce, have become passionate advocates for the Eagles’ autism awareness programs.

Just months after welcoming their fourth daughter, Kylie delivered a heartfelt speech at the Eagles Autism Challenge symposium in May. Meanwhile, Jason participated in the event’s 5K race, showing his personal dedication to the cause.

His commitment doesn’t stop there. Kelce is set to host a multi-day Team 62 fundraiser along the Jersey Shore next week, an event that has already proven to be a substantial source of funding for autism research – raising $375,000 in 2023 and nearly $865,000 this year.
