Born on November 5, 1987, is an American football center for the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League.
He was drafted by the Eagles in the sixth round of the 2011 NFL Draft. He played college football at Cincinnati.
Kelce is a Super Bowl champion, five-time Pro-Bowl selection, and four-time first-team All-Pro selection. He is the older brother of Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
North Carolina’s Greenville is where Kelce was born. He was raised in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, as the son of Donna, a banker, and Ed Kelce, a sales representative for the steel industry.
He is Travis Kelce’s older brother, a Kansas City Chiefs tight end and future pro bowler. He went to Cleveland Heights High School, where he was twice named All-Lake Erie-Lake League for his running back and linebacker performances. He participated in the jazz and symphonic bands at Cleveland Heights by playing baritone saxophone.
Former walk-on running back Kelce first played fullback before transferring to offensive line after redshirting his first season at Cincinnati. In 2007, as the Bearcats went 10-3 and defeated Southern Mississippi 31-21 in the PapaJohns.com Bowl, he played center and guard in nine games.
His offensive line, which also featured future NFL lineman Jeff Linkenbach and Trevor Canfield, helped the UC offense average 27.3 points and 375.3 yards of total offense per game as a sophomore in 2008. He made 13 starts as left guard during that season.
The Bearcats competed in the FedEx Orange Bowl, where they lost to Virginia Tech 20-7, finished with an overall record of 11-3, and were Big East champions. After joining them in 2008, his brother, Travis Kelce, started playing with him at Cincinnati.
How Good Is Jason Kelce?
Five-time Pro Bowler and four-time All-Pro Kelce. Kelce can lay claim to seven distinct “all-star” seasons as well as the title of Best Center of his Era because those honours don’t exactly match up.
What Happened To Jason Kelce?
In the game against the Cardinals in October in the second quarter, Kelce limped off the field leaving the Eagles already without a pair of their starting offensive lineman.
Late in the second, Kelce struggled to stand up before stumbling into the locker room with what appeared to be a leg injury.
He was replaced by rookie second-round pick Cam Jurgens. The Eagles previously played without Landon Dickerson (leg), who is unsure of returning, and Jordan Mailata (shoulder), who was declared out in the following game. Dickerson exited before the end of the first period.
