The Eagles’ tradition facilities round getting one p.c higher every single day, at all times bettering, and by no means reaching a ceiling. That definitely appears to be the case with Jason Kelce, who’s already a Corridor of Fame worthy heart and Philadelphia legend, and one way or the other nonetheless continues to enhance as he heads into his thirteenth season.

“10. C JASON KELCE, PHILADELPHIA EAGLES
Kelce hasn’t given up a sack since Week 6 of 2021 and allowed simply 12 hurries and no hits in 2022. One of the best heart within the league on the transfer, Kelce anchors the very best offensive line in soccer and exhibits no indicators of slowing.”
Understandably, the veteran takes time after each season to mull retirement, however Kelce has talked varied instances this offseason about how he nonetheless desires to play, and nonetheless appears like he can achieve this at a excessive stage. It didn’t fairly really feel like the tip for Kelce following the Tremendous Bowl loss, and there’s nonetheless a lot potential for the Eagles’ 2023 roster, nevertheless it’s at all times a sigh of aid when he confirms his return.
Jordan Mailata is definitely glad to have Kelce round one other season, and talked about how Kelce is the epitome of a soccer participant and referred to as him a real chief.
“He’s a legend. It simply exhibits that — to me, he’s a legend. And the legend of Jason Kelce is perpetually going to reside in these hallways […] It’s not even like fantasy anymore. You already know, folks speak about myths, the legend of Jason Kelce goes to be an actual story.
Someday, his image goes to be up right here on the partitions. Like me, the younger cats strolling into this constructing was not going to know who he’s after which they’re going to search out out who he’s, in a while.
However, he’s only a legend, man. I’ve a lot respect for Kelce. He’s the epitome of a soccer participant, and a real chief and captain.”
Mailata talked about that when he joined the Eagles, the offensive line room already had such a excessive normal, set by coach Jeff Stoutland and led by Kelce and Lane Johnson, and now he and Landon Dickerson attempt to emulate and attain that standing as they turn into extra skilled. They definitely are going to have some massive footwear to fill when Kelce does resolve to hold up cleats — hopefully, that’s not too quickly.
