    Philadelphia deserved this great man. Not a Philly fan but you were lucky to have him for so long.

    What a speech! He says to us “thank you for letting me represent this city and allowing me into your homes every Sunday”. I say thank you for representing us with unmatched talent, effort and heart and for being someone worth inviting into my living room every week for 13 years. God bless you and your family now and in the years ahead.

    If you don't respect every aspect of Jason Kelce's game, then you don't know football. I am not an Eagles fan but this man was and is a true professional. His heart and determination jumped off the screen anytime you watched an Eagles game. One could say he is the Philadelphia Eagles. I wish him nothing but the best in his retirement and I know he will be just as successful off the field as he was on it.

    Jason: I was born and raised here in West Philly. I can truthfully say, that even though you weren't born here, there is no doubt in my heart and in my mind that YOU ARE A PHILADELPHIAN! You and your brother truly embodies our nickname "The City of Brotherly Love". Please know that Philadelphia is home to your entire family! (And to Tay-Tay, too! 😉) #Philly, #CityOfBrotherlyLove, #GoEagles, #WeBleedGreen!🦅🏈💚🖤

    I know the exact moment when my child was born, when I first saw the love of my life and the last time I wore my uniform. My heart is always full and there in those moments.
    Same Jason! ❤️ Happy Retirement!

    Anybody who knows me knows I'm a die-hard Seahawk fan. You got to give it up to True football players who gave it their all and Jason Kelce was definitely one of them. Enjoy your retirement and I wish you the best on the next chapter in your life.

    What an amazing speech. I know top players just by watching their moves on the field. There is something intangible an elite player has. Jason you are tremendous! I so enjoyed watching you play. Well done!!!
    I come from a football family. My father coached and he is an Illinois IHSA Football Hall of Fame Coach as is my husband’s father. My knowledge is vast due to watching my dad draw up plays and the number of films I watched with him.
    You sir are incredible. Think about coaching. You have what it takes!
    To think two top NFL players came out of one family. Just WOW!

    This is NOT the "full" speech. You edited out the one minute and 11 seconds at the beginning where he was overcome with emotion before he could even start talking. That is so powerful and you cut it.

    What hurts just as bad is that Travis is just as broken up as Jason. (And yet, this would have been the most beautiful retirement speech that I've ever heard, if it weren't interrupted every... 5... minutes... by those ANNOYING UA-cam ads. 🤬)
