Eagles fans brought a very fitting gift for Jason Kelce as the center showed up to a press conference to announce his retirement from the NFL.
Kelce is calling it quits after a career during which he won a Super Bowl with the Eagles while being named to seven Pro Bowls and six All-Pro first teams.
The 36-year-old found it very difficult to hold the tears back as he revealed that the 2023 season was his last while sitting in front of reporters.
Fans would gather outside of the Eagles’ Nocacare Complex, with a group of them bringing Jason a keg of Miller Lite as a parting gift. ABC6’s John Paul got some footage of the fans trying to get the center to accept his gift, but he was too emotional to stop, though he did show his appreciation as he drove past.
