As Jason Kelce’s NFL career comes to an end, Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni sent the team’s legendary centre and offensive leader an emotional farewell.
Speaking to the media on Tuesday, Sirianni showed his sincere fondness for Kelce by calling him “one of the most special players” he has ever had the opportunity to work with.
He’s unique, and I adore him. He’s among the most unique men I’ve ever met. He obviously always has a place here, and as time goes on, we’ll see what occurs.
It has been an incredible ride, should this actually be the end of Kelce’s career—reports indicate he told his teammates he was retiring after Monday night’s playoff loss.
After being selected by Cincinnati in the sixth round of the 2011 NFL Draft, Kelce went on to become a seven-time Pro Bowl player, a six-time first-team All-Pro, and a Super Bowl champion.
He will always be loved in the hearts of Philadelphia fans and is almost guaranteed to go down in history as one of the best offensive linemen of his generation.
Despite rumours that Jason Kelce has decided to retire, it’s obvious that Nick Sirianni and the Eagles still have faith in his coming back. As the offseason wears on, players occasionally have second thoughts. Maybe Kelce will be one of those players after all.
