Despite reports that Kelce is set to call it a career following Philadelphia’s loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Monday’s NFC Wild Card Game, the 36-year-old made it clear during Wednesday’s episode of the New Heights podcast that he didn’t want to make such a decision while emotions were still raw after the disappointing loss.
Kelce has spent his entire 13-year career with the Eagles and is considered a Philadelphia sports legend.
Regardless of whether or not Kelce has played his last down of football, it’s clear that he’s showing plenty of appreciation for those who have supported him throughout his career.
