Jason Kelce’s Impressive Career With the Philadelphia Eagles: Timeline
In the Kelce doc, the former Philadelphia Eagles center shared his journey throughout the 2022 NFL season, which he ultimately thought would be his last. Instead, Jason and his team had an epic year as they went to battle brother Travis Kelce and his team the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII. (The Chiefs ultimately won.)
