Jason Kelce, a renowned offensive lineman for the Philadelphia Eagles, took his two kids onto the pitch for a memorable moment this past weekend while attending his seventh Pro Bowl in Orlando. The experienced centre was shown on camera bouncing around and swaying his girls in his arms in a manner like to a one-man rollercoaster. They also made the most of the obstacle course that was set up on the field.
For NFL players, all Pro Bowls are a great honour, but for Kelce, this one is very meaningful. After a 13-year career, it might be his final one.
The NFL community as a whole, but especially Eagles supporters, is eagerly anticipating Kelce’s formal announcement regarding his future. There were rumours that the six-time first-team All-Pro will retire this summer after Philadelphia’s playoff loss.
Kelce is thinking about his post-playing options.
Whether he retires this year or not, Kelce has enjoyed a successful career, which he will carry on with his brother Travis Kelce’s New Heights podcast. This week, the centre disclosed that he has looked into the possibility of bringing back the beloved kids’ game “Backyard Sports.”
Kelce remarked, “Oh, dude, I don’t even know if I want to mention this because I’ve been looking into it in secret to see if anyone owns the rights to Backyard Baseball and Backyard Football.” “Because I want to purchase it and restart this.” The game of all time was that one. It was really electrifying. You could do the entire game of “Backyard Football” on your phone, so picture yourself playing it right now. It wasn’t too difficult.
The first game in the renowned video game series “Backyard Sports” was released in 1997. The first release was “Backyard Baseball,” then in subsequent years, “Backyard Football,” “Backyard Basketball,” “Backyard Soccer,” and “Backyard Hockey” were released. “Backyard Sports: Rookie Rush,” the last console game in the series, was released in 2010. In 2015, “Backyard Basketball” and “Backyard Baseball” were also made available on iOS and Android smartphones. But since then, there hasn’t been any new content created for the game series.
Although Kelce hasn’t decided on his future in and of himself, he did tell The Philadelphia Inquirer that he intends to remain connected with the Eagles when he hangs up his cleats.
Regardless of the outcome, Kelce told The Inquirer, “I don’t know what’s going to happen for me, but I do know I still want to be involved in the organisation and still want to be a part of it.” “Because I don’t want to ever feel as though I’m observing these opportunities, these accomplishments, and these accolades from the outside, representing entire cities, fan bases, and organisations in the majority.”
