Jason Kelce recently called time on his Pro Football Hall of Fame-worthy NFL career.
The legendary center spent his whole career with the Philadelphia Eagles and won a Super Bowl, but announced his retirement at the age of 36 earlier this month in a teary press conference in front of brother Travis.

The iconic offensive lineman is currently weighing up his next career move, and according to wrestling star The Miz, that career could well be in WWE.
“I watched him jump up at a Bills game from, like, down and jump up into a window, and I was like, ‘Oh my God, this guy is 300 pounds, how did he do that? That’s incredible,'” he told TMZ.
The Miz even offered to train the seven-time Pro Bowler.
“Hell yeah! Into a superstar! As big as he is in the NFL, we’ll make him as big of a superstar in the WWE!” The Miz added.
“The charisma, the ability to talk on a microphone and be captivating and innovative is something I think he has a knack for. Whatever Jason Kelce wants to do, whether it is come to WWE for WrestleMania, wink, or do something in the NFL, whatever he wants to do, I think the world is his oyster.
“He could be very dangerous in a WWE ring – not only with just the athleticism and the part of the wrestling, which I think he can absolutely do.”
Coincidentally, WrestleMania 40 takes place on April 6 and 7 this year in Philadelphia – the city where Jason called home for the last 13 years.
Unfortunately, it’s probably too tight of a turnaround for Jason to be able to get in the ring this year but he may attend as a fan.

Travis said he’d love to get involved with the promotion after seeing 49ers TE George Kittle in WrestleMania 39.
“It was awesome to see him go nuts, but I got to get involved somehow, someway,” Travis said.
“Me and the Miz have been talking a little bit about it so hopefully, we can brew something into fruition here.
“George absolutely killed it at WrestleMania. He made me want to be a part of that. Hopefully we can get that tag team in store here sometime soon.”
As for Jason, it remains to be seen what he does next.
However, what’s clear is that he certainly won’t be short of options.
The larger than life character has become a beloved figure in recent years and various television networks are supposedly keen to bring him on board.
“If Jason Kelce wants to be on an NFL studio show, he will have options with NBC, CBS and ESPN the likeliest landing spots, ” The Athletic recently reported.
“For both NBC’s and CBS’ NFL pregame shows on Sundays, Kelce could easily commute from his home in Philadelphia, making the national TV jobs a one- or two-day work week.”
NBC and CBS are the reported front-runners while Fox is deemed unlikely due to it being located on the West Coast.
‘Thursday Night Football’ on Amazon Prime Video could also be a possibility according to the report, especially if Jason brings his popular ‘New Heights’ podcast along with him.
The world really is his oyster.
