Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce announced his retirement from the NFL on Monday. The next day, he enjoyed a night out with brother Travis Kelce as they attended the Cleveland Cavaliers game against the Boston Celtics on Tuesday. The brothers grew up in Cleveland Heights and wore Cavs jerseys to the game, but with their own NFL numbers and last name.
The Cavaliers honored Jason, who received a standing ovation before the game. Jason was given a framed No. 62 jersey and the team gave the audience free limited-edition “Kelce Brothers” bobbleheads. Jason was also given a custom-made basketball and Luchador mask similar to the one he wore when Travis won the Super Bowl with the Kansas City Chiefs last month.
Kelce played in the NFL for 13 years, always with the Eagles. During that time, he became a beloved part of the team and the city of Philadelphia. Not only was he a seven-time Pro Bowler and six-time All Pro, but his personality and character stood out to fans. He was known for his leadership, giving loud and passionate speeches that became popular amongst the Eagles fanbase.
