Jason Kelce has revealed his reason for keeping on returning to the Philadelphia Eagles‘ facility so often, just two months after announcing his retirement in March.
Speaking to NBC Philadelphia’s John Clark while practicing his swing at the Union League Golf Club at Torresdale on Monday, Kelce, whom NFL fans said lost weight over the spring, explained that he still enjoys hanging out with his former Eagles teammates.
‘Part of it is that,’ he said. ‘Part of it is just getting a free lift down to the NovaCare. I’ve gotten accustomed to going down there. I love going down there. It keeps me involved with it.
‘Whether it’s being around the guys, being around the coaches, my mind in the game from what teams are doing to try and prepare for this coming season. And things the defense is getting ready to do.
‘The game is always evolving and if you want to stay knowledgeable about it you have to continue to stay involved, stay around the game, stay around the guys that are in it, coaches that are in it. For me, I kind of get a two-fer. I get to be able to work and kind of poke my head around a bit.’
