Jason Kelce

Jason Kelce, a celebrated former NFL player, transitioned from a decorated career as a center for the Philadelphia Eagles to a prominent media personality, co-hosting a popular podcast and joining ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown. After being drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in the sixth round (191st overall) of the 2011 NFL Draft, Jason Kelce quickly established himself as a formidable center, becoming the first rookie in Eagles history to start all 16 games at the position. His collegiate career at the University of Cincinnati (2006-2010) saw him contribute to two Big East Conference championships and appearances in the FedEx Orange Bowl (2009) and Allstate Sugar Bowl (2010), earning second-team All-Big East honors in both 2009 and 2010. Kelce was graded as the best center in the league by Pro Football Focus in 2013 and received the Ed Block Courage Award that same year.

His ventures include the critically acclaimed Amazon Prime Video documentary ‘Kelce’ (2023), offering an intimate look into his life and career. Kelce joined ESPN’s prestigious Monday Night Countdown pregame crew in 2024 and is set to host his own late-night sports talk show, ‘They Call It Late Night with Jason Kelce,’ on ESPN in 2025. He has also made memorable appearances in hit television shows such as ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’ and ‘Saturday Night Live,’ and collaborated with ‘The Philly Specials’ on Christmas albums.
