Jason Kelce was a star on the Philadelphia Eagles‘ offensive line for 13 years. However, he finally decided to hang it up and enjoy retirement. He isn’t stepping away from football entirely, though, as he’s now in the booth with ESPN.
In Week 2, he’ll be returning to Philadelphia for “Monday Night Football.” With it being his first time returning since retirement, Kelce’s wife gave him some words of support ahead of the big night. What did she say?
Kylie Kelce Gives Jason Words of Support Ahead of Philadelphia Return
Back in May, Kelce officially joined ESPN as an analyst. He appears on ESPN’s “Monday Night Countdown” show discussing the game ahead. This week it will be the Eagles hosting the Atlanta Falcons. His wife, Kylie Kelce, took to Instagram to share some words.

“Training camp looked a little different this year,” Kelce said. “Watching you at the Linc on Monday is going to be a little different too. Just know that the girls and I are loving cheering you on in this new chapter! … Maybe try not to say t*** this week?”
At the end of her message, Kelce is referencing her husband’s debut last week when he detailed the story of him forgetting his travel bag. He had to buy a shirt at a local mall, which ultimately didn’t fit right. While explaining the story, Kelce accidentally said the word “t***” when describing the situation of his shirt. Now, his wife is having fun with it.
“Even if he’s trying not to, I feel like there’s never any guarantees,” said the New Heights Show account, which is the podcast he is a part of with his brother, Travis. “Luckiest man in the world,” replied Kelce himself.
During his playing career, Kelce put together a Hall of Fame-worthy résumé. On top of a Super Bowl ring, he was a six-time first-team All-Pro and seven-time Pro Bowler. He played in 193 games, starting all of them.
