Jason Kelce joining ESPN's 'MNF' pregame show
Recently retired Jason Kelce is joining ESPN this fall to be part of its "Monday Night Countdown" pregame show, The Athletic reported Monday.
Kelce announced his retirement early last month after 13 seasons as the center for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Kelce was sought after by CBS, NBC and Amazon, per the report. CBS was interested in Kelce for its "NFL Today" show, per the report.
Drafted in the sixth round (191st overall) in 2011, Kelce became a Super Bowl LII champion and one of the most durable, decorated and respected centers in NFL history -- and one of the league's most passionate players.
The six-time All-Pro and seven-time Pro Bowl selection started 205 games for the Eagles, including the postseason.
Kelce, 36, is the older brother of Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce. The siblings have a popular podcast called "New Heights."
