Travis Kelce became overwhelmed with emotion while speaking with brother Jason about his retirement from football on their latest New Heights podcast.

Jason, 36, announced his retirement on Monday after 13 years in the NFL as a Philadelphia Eagles player, with the legendary center breaking down in tears throughout an emotional farewell speech.

In the crowd at Philadelphia’s practice facility, Travis was also seen shedding tears alongside mom Donna and dad Ed as his brother waved goodbye to both the Eagles and the sport he has dedicated his life to for close to two decades.

On this week’s edition of New Heights, the Kelce brothers discussed Jason’s decision to bow out from the NFL in more detail, as Travis admitted to wanting his older sibling to play on next season.

‘We did not talk about much of your retirement,’ the Kansas City Chiefs tight end said. ‘And I wanted to make sure that you didn’t feel pressure from me to keep going, knowing that I wanted you to keep going. I wanted you to keep playing this game.
