SHOCKING Photo Shows A NEW-LOOK Jason Kelce On The Golf Course After LOSING 20 Pounds Since His RETIREMENT From The NFL(O)
Jason Kelce (Photo by Megan Briggs/Getty Images)Jason Kelce has undergone a remarkable physical transformation since retiring this offseason.
The former Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman has reportedly shed 20 pounds since his emotional farewell as he aims to cut down on his playing weight.
This makes a retirement u-turn even more unlikely, though that should have already been the notion after ESPN announced him as its latest high-profile hire.
Kelce, 36, has been enjoying his life away from football but is still doing the ‘New Heights’ podcast with his brother, Travis Kelce. He spent some time on the golf course recently and looked a lot slimmer than we’ve become used to.

While he has quite a lot going on, the future Hall of Famer center is spending lots of time with his former teammates at the Eagles’ facility.

He told NBC as much on Monday.
“I love going down there. It keeps me involved with it,” he told NBC (H/T Yahoo Sports). “Whether it’s being around the guys, being around the coaches, my mind in the game from what teams are doing to try and prepare for this coming season, and things the defense is getting ready to do.”
Jason Kelce Is Mentoring His Replacement
Jason Kelce, who noted that football is evolving and that he wants to stay in the know, admits he’s able to both work out and stay informed on what’s going on around the team.
“For me, I kind of get a two-fer,” he said. “I get to be able to work out and kind of poke my head around a little bit.”
Kelce also revealed he’s been mentoring Cameron Jurgens, the player set to take over his vacated role.
I think Cam is going to have a phenomenal year. [He’s a] really, really talented player, has a lot of strength. [He’s] physically very strong player and plays above his size,” added.
Kelce is now set to become the face of ESPN’s ‘Monday Night Countdown’ next season, having replaced Robert Griffin III as part of the crew.
