After 13 amazing seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles, Jason Kelce is getting ready to leave the NFL behind. The Super Bowl champion is riding off into the sunset after announcing his retirement in an emotional, 40-minute-long speech on Monday. Kelce has been with the Eagles since 2011, and his loyalty to this team never wavered for over a decade. He helped them win the Super Bowl LII and received seven Pro Bowl selections and six first-team All-Pro selections during his 13 years in Philadelphia. After weeks of speculations about his potential retirement, Kelce finally made things official in an emotional speech on Monday, which was approximately 40 minutes long. He reflected on all the highs and lows of his career, from playing college football for the Cincinnati Bearcats to winning Super Bowl with the Eagles. Kelce also took a moment to thank everyone who stood by his side over the years, from his teammates and coaches to his family and loyal fans. "Thank you, Philadelphia, from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for letting me represent this city and allowing me into your homes every Sunday. It has always been a goal of mine to play my whole career in one city and I couldn't have dreamt a better one and a better fit if I tried,” said Kelce towards the end of his speech.
