Sad that he is retiring but enjoyed all the years I got to see him play. He's embodied all the things that make this city great and understood the city in a way few seem to be able to grasp. Hope to enjoy all the years that he continues to be a personality on whatever media he decides to make a home.

 

Thank you Jason and thank you to your family for all they had to sacrifice.

We will miss you tremendously, Jason and that was an amazing speech.  It was incredibly inspiring. 

Still, I really love this one:

"It's not about how hard you can hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.  No matter how much you can take and keep moving forward.  That's how winning is done!" -  Rocky Balboa  - Jason Kelce

I’m not crying. You’re crying.

Yes. Yes I am.

I got a little teary-eyed myself

Saying goodbye to a legend is hard. So I will just say see you later. God bless Jason Kelce. Thank you for EVERYTHING.

Greatest center to ever play the game. And that’s not homer bias. That’s a factual statement.

Sucks to see him go, though we all knew it was coming. I still held out hope for one more season. 

I've seen players come out of retirement mid season.  Who knows

Will have to see if Jurgens is a better center than he is guard.  He may have been a good center in college but this is the NFL ... no guarantee that success carries over.  Fingers crossed it does.

The little work he had at center preseason he looked good.  We shall see.  He's in year 3, so he's a seasoned player by now.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You are, and will always be, one of The Eagles Greats. Just retire his jersey already. No one will fill those shoes.
